Abstract

The development of digital technology has had a significant impact on various fields, including Islamic religious education, especially in learning the Qur'an. This study aims to examine the opportunities and challenges presented by the use of digital technology in learning the Qur'an. The research method used is library research with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were obtained through literature analysis from various sources, such as scientific journals, books, and recent research reports. The results of the study show that digital technology offers various opportunities, such as wider learning accessibility, flexibility of time and place, availability of interactive applications, and increased student learning motivation. However, challenges also arise, including limited digital competence of teachers, lack of curriculum integrated with technology, and potential distractions from digital devices. Therefore, there is a need for teacher training, development of digital media that is in accordance with the principles of Islamic education, and strengthening of technology-based education policies. This study is expected to be a reference in developing effective and sustainable digital-based Qur'an learning strategies.
