Abstrak

The rapid development of digital technology has transformed education, including Islamic Religious Education (PAI). As a key component of teaching, learning media must adapt through technological innovation to engage students and enhance comprehension. Generation Z and Alpha, as digital natives, prefer visual, interactive, and fast-paced learning styles, which differ from traditional approaches. This study aims to examine the urgency of media innovation in PAI within the digital era. Using a library research method, relevant theories and previous studies were analyzed. The findings indicate that digital-based media such as instructional videos, interactive platforms, and educational animations can significantly improve student motivation, understanding, and engagement. However, challenges remain in terms of teacher competence, infrastructure readiness, and the limited availability of engaging Islamic digital content. This article contributes conceptually by emphasizing the need for synergy between technology and Islamic values to ensure that digital media serves as an effective tool for both learning and character formation.
