The Role of Young Generations in Promoting Islamic Values

Abstract

Young people play a strategic role in promoting and strengthening Islamic values amid the rapid development of globalization and digital technology. This study aims to examine the role of the younger generation in promoting Islamic values through a literature based analysis. The research employed a qualitative approach using a library research method by collecting and analyzing relevant scholarly publications from previous studies. The findings indicate that young people serve as agents of change who exert significant influence in both social and religious spheres. They possess substantial opportunities to disseminate Islamic teachings and other positive values within society through various forms of engagement, including digital platforms and community-based activities. However, the rapid advancement of technology also presents considerable challenges, as exposure to negative influences and unfiltered information often affects young people and may hinder the effective dissemination of Islamic values. The study concludes that young generations have a crucial responsibility to preserve, promote, and develop Islamic values in the midst of accelerating social and technological changes. Strengthening Islamic education, digital literacy, and community support is essential to enable young people to contribute positively to society while maintaining strong Islamic principles.
