This study examines the implementation of a Digital Storytelling-Based Islamic Education Learning Model to strengthen the religious character of Generation Z students in the digital era. The rapid development of technology and social media has significantly influenced students’ behavior, values, and learning patterns, requiring innovative and engaging educational approaches. Digital storytelling integrates narrative, multimedia, and technology to deliver Islamic educational values in a more interactive and meaningful way. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of digital storytelling in improving students’ religious understanding, moral awareness, and character development. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach through observation, interviews, and documentation in Islamic education learning activities. The findings indicate that digital storytelling enhances students’ engagement, critical thinking, empathy, and internalization of Islamic values such as honesty, discipline, responsibility, tolerance, and respect. Furthermore, the model encourages active participation and creates a learning environment that is relevant to Generation Z characteristics, which are closely connected to digital technology. Therefore, the Digital Storytelling-Based Islamic Education Learning Model can serve as an innovative strategy to strengthen religious character education and support the development of morally responsible young generations in contemporary society
