Abstract

This article aims to examine the interdisciplinary relationship between Islamic education management, Sufism, and digital literacy in addressing the challenges of 21st-century education. Islamic education serves not only as a medium for knowledge transfer but also as a vehicle for character formation and spiritual development. Sufism, with its emphasis on inner dimensions, ethics, and transcendental awareness, provides an ethical and spiritual framework highly relevant in the era of digital disruption. Meanwhile, digital literacy has become an urgent competency for learners to adapt to the global flow of information while filtering hoaxes, hate speech, and harmful content. This study employs a qualitative approach through library research, drawing upon authoritative books, peer-reviewed journals, and international reports. The findings reveal that integrating Islamic education management with Sufi values and digital literacy fosters an educational model that is humanistic, spiritual, and technologically adaptive. Case studies from madrasahs, pesantrens, and Islamic higher education institutions demonstrate that this integrative model enhances learning effectiveness, strengthens digital ethics, and nurtures religious character relevant to the digital age. Nevertheless, this research has limitations due to the lack of empirical field data, meaning the findings are still conceptual and require testing through qualitative or quantitative research in Islamic educational institutions. Further studies are expected to develop more applicable instruments and implementation models for administrators and educators. This article concludes that the integration of Sufism, Islamic education management, and digital literacy forms a strategic foundation for cultivating Indonesia’s golden generation one that is character-driven, intellectually capable, and globally competitive.
