The Integration of Digital Al-Qur’an Application as a Means of Islamic Literacy for Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Students in The Digital Era

Digital transformation in the world of education has had a significant impact on Islamic Religious Education (IRE) learning in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. This article aims to examine the forms of integration, challenges, and contributions of using digital Al-Qur’an applications in strengthening students’ Islamic literacy in MI. The method used is a literature review with a qualitative-descriptive approach through the analysis of academic documents, digital data, and user reviews of the application. The findings indicate that interactive features such as audio recitation, visual tajwid guidance, and gamification support the strengthening of students’ Islamic literacy in terms of text, values, and practices contextually and engagingly. However, its effectiveness is highly dependent on the accuracy of content, equitable access to technology, and pedagogical guidance from teachers and parents. Therefore, the integration of digital Al-Qur’an applications must be designed holistically and strategically to align with the objectives of Islamic Education (PAI) and Islamic educational values at the primary level.
