Integrasi Konsep Keteladanan Abdullah Nashih Ulwan dalam Pola Asuh Orang Tua di Era Disrupsi Teknologi

Abstract

The era of technological disruption has created new challenges for parenting, in which children are more exposed to virtual figures than to their parents, leading to a crisis of role modeling within the family environment. This study aims to integrate Abdullah Nashih Ulwan’s concept of exemplary behavior (Al-Qudwah) into parenting strategies in the digital era. The research employs a qualitative approach based on library research using content analysis through an interpretative approach toward Abdullah Nashih Ulwan’s work Tarbiyatul Aulad fil Islam. The findings reveal that the integration of Ulwan’s concept in the modern context requires parents to transform into “digital role models.” Exemplary behavior is no longer limited to offline conduct, but also includes wise technology use (digital wisdom), consistency in managing screen time, and persuasive supervision. This study further demonstrates that Ulwan’s concept of exemplary parenting can be reconstructed into a religious value-based digital parenting model that is adaptive to the development of modern technology. The study concludes that Ulwan’s values of exemplary conduct remain relevant as a moral foundation for shaping children’s religious character amid the massive flow of technological information.
