Abstract
This study aims to reconstruct and develop Digital Akhlaq as an ethical pedagogical framework for transforming Islamic education in the digital age. It examines how Islamic moral philosophy can be integrated with contemporary digital pedagogy to address ethical challenges arising from digital technologies and artificial intelligence in education. The study employs a structured conceptual review of studies on Islamic education, akhl?q, digital ethics, digital pedagogy, and educational technology. The analysis identifies conceptual gaps, synthesizes Islamic moral principles, and formulates their pedagogical implications for digital learning. The findings indicate that Digital Akhlaq extends beyond conventional digital ethics by positioning moral character at the center of digital educational practice. The framework comprises six interconnected dimensions: ?idq, am?nah, tabayyun, adab, mas’?liyyah, and i?s?n, which guide ethical behavior, information verification, responsible technology use, digital interaction, and character formation. Digital Akhlaq can inform curriculum development, teaching practices, assessment, AI integration, and learning culture. This framework contributes to aligning technological innovation with the fundamental mission of Islamic education: cultivating intellectually competent, morally responsible, and ethically grounded Muslim learners.
