Abstract

The rapid development of technology has ushered in the era of Society 5.0, a digital-based innovation aimed at addressing the challenges of Industry 4.0. This study examines the policies of Islamic educational institutions in adapting to Society 5.0. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach with a systematic literature review as its primary method, several platform were used as references such as Francis & Taylor (Routledge) and Science and Technology Index (SINTA). The findings indicate that Islamic educational institutions must prioritize three key areas to remain relevant and practical. First, educators must evolve into innovative facilitators who integrate technology and foster a dynamic learning environment. Second, the learning process should emphasize critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, communication, and collaboration to equip students with 21st-century skills. Third, there is an urgent need to develop technology-based infrastructure, including digital learning tools and internet accessibility, to support a modernized education system. Government policies, such as the link and match system, play a crucial role in aligning education with industry needs, ensuring that graduates of Islamic institutions are competitive in the job market. However, challenges such as inadequate educational resources, outdated curricula, and limited technological infrastructure must be addressed. By embracing digital transformation and reforming education policies, Islamic educational institutions can enhance their role in shaping a technologically proficient generation deeply rooted in Islamic values. © 2026, Malque Publishing.
