Abstrak: Era digital telah membawa perubahan yang ketara dalam struktur sosial, komunikasi keluarga, dan pola keibubapaan. Dalam konteks masyarakat Islam, cabaran keibubapaan menjadi semakin kompleks apabila ibu bapa harus mendepani pengaruh teknologi maklumat dan media digital yang meresap ke dalam kehidupan anak-anak sejak usia awal. Artikel ini membincangkan integrasi pemikiran al-Ghazali dan Abdullah Nasih Ulwan dalam membentuk kerangka keibubapaan Islam yang relevan dalam era digital. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif berbentuk kajian konseptual, kajian ini menganalisis prinsip-prinsip kerohanian, pendidikan akhlak, serta sistem tarbiyah Islam yang diketengahkan oleh kedua-dua tokoh. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa pendekatan klasik ini masih sangat signifikan apabila disesuaikan dengan cabaran digital semasa seperti ketagihan skrin, krisis identiti dan keruntuhan moral anak-anak. Model integratif yang dicadangkan menggabungkan unsur tazkiyatun nafs, muraqabah, pendidikan melalui teladan, serta penggunaan teknologi secara beretika untuk membentuk karakter Muslim digital yang seimbang dari sudut rohani dan intelek. Kajian ini mencadangkan agar model ini diuji secara empirikal melalui modul latihan keibubapaan digital Islam dan disesuaikan mengikut konteks budaya semasa.
Abstract: The digital age has brought significant changes in social structures, family communication, and parenting patterns. In the context of the Muslim society, the challenges of parenting become increasingly complex when parents have to face the influence of information technology and digital media that permeate their children's lives from an early age. This article discusses the integration of the thoughts of al-Ghazali and Abdullah Nasih Ulwan in constructing a relevant Islamic parenting framework for the digital age. Using a qualitative conceptual study design, this research analyses spiritual principles, moral education, and the systematic Islamic pedagogical approach championed by both scholars. The findings indicate that these classical approaches remain highly significant when adapted to modern digital challenges such as screen addiction, identity crisis, and the moral decline of children. The proposed integrative model combines elements of tazkiyatun nafs, muraqabah, role-model parenting, and ethical technology use to shape a balanced digital Muslim character in both spiritual and intellectual aspects. This study recommends that the model be empirically tested through digital Islamic parenting training modules and adapted to diverse cultural contexts.
