The rapid development of information and communication technology has significantly influenced students’ behavior, mindset, and social interactions, requiring Islamic Religious Education teachers to implement adaptive and relevant moral development strategies. Islamic Religious Education teachers play not only the role of delivering learning materials but also serve as mentors, motivators, role models, and supervisors in shaping students’ character and morality. This research employed a qualitative approach using a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that Islamic Religious Education teachers have an important role in fostering students’ morals through exemplary behavior, habituation of religious practices, giving advice, supervising the use of digital media, and strengthening Islamic values in daily life. In addition, collaboration among teachers, parents, and the school environment supports the success of students’ moral development in the digital era. Therefore, the role of Islamic Religious Education teachers is essential in shaping a generation with noble character, strong morality, and the ability to use technology wisely in accordance with Islamic values.
