Abstract

The integration of technology in Islamic education is crucial, as are educational methods. Islamic academic institutions need to incorporate digital tools without losing the core values of Islamic teachings. This study reviews literature from 2022 to 2024, using databases such as Scopus and Eric—the study flow of study based on the PRISMA framework. Following specific inclusion criteria, 22 relevant studies were selected and analyzed through qualitative content analysis and quantitative meta-analysis to identify trends, challenges, and results in the use of Technological Pedagogical Islamic Content (TPIC). The primary problem addressed is the need for an updated and structured overview of how technology is being used to enhance the educational learning process. To obtain this, we conducted an advanced search of scholarly articles. The findings were divided into three themes: (1) technology integration in Islamic education, (2) pedagogical skills and teacher competence, and (3) sociocultural implications and policy perspectives. The analysis reveals that key factors for the successful integration of technology in the learning process include effective teacher training, culturally appropriate content development, and strong technological infrastructure. Challenges include resistance to change, limited digital skills among educators, and the need for continuous policy support.
