Internalization Of Imam Al-Ghazali’s Moral Values For Strengthening Digital Ethics Of Generation Z In The Era Of Social Media: A Systematic Literature Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to analyze and synthesize the literature on the internalization of Imam Al-Ghazali’s moral values in strengthening the digital ethics of Generation Z in the social media era. The study employs a qualitative approach using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method based on the PRISMA framework, involving the stages of identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion of relevant scholarly articles. The findings indicate that Imam Al-Ghazali’s moral concepts, such as tazkiyatun nafs (self-purification), muhasabah (selfreflection), self control, and ethical communication, are highly relevant in shaping responsible digital ethics among Generation Z. Furthermore, the literature reveals that high social media usage intensity contributes to various digital ethical issues, including cyberbullying, hate speech, and low self-regulation. Therefore, the internalization of Imam Al-Ghazali’s moral values can serve as an essential foundation for strengthening Generation Z’s digital ethics through Islamic character education in the era of Society 5.0.
