Abstract


Abstract: This study proposes a Qur'anic approach to integrating Malay cultural values into digital education. By aligning core Malay values such as obedient, customary, knowledgeable, deliberative and creative with Islamic principles from the Qur'an. The research offers a framework for nurturing ethical, culturally aware learners in digital environments. The approach emphasizes the harmonious blend of spiritual guidance and cultural heritage, aiming to produce students who are not only digitally proficient but also morally grounded and culturally rooted. The rapid evolution of digital education presents both opportunities and challenges for preserving cultural identity and instilling moral values in learners. This study explores the integration of Malay cultural values within digital educational platforms through a Qur'anic approach. this study proposes a conceptual framework that harmonizes traditional Malay heritage with Islamic teachings as outlined in the Qur'an. The framework aims to cultivate students' moral, cultural awareness, and ethical reasoning in a technologically driven learning environment. Using qualitative content analysis and design-based research. The result concludes that integrating malay culture values in digital education is effective to build the character in digital era. This study highlights how embedding Qur'anic values into digital learning content not only enhances cultural relevance but also reinforces spiritual.
