Abstract

This community service aims to empower Generation Z through digital legal literacy and Islamic economic literacy at Ma’had Tahfiz An-Nur, Kuala Lumpur. The program contributes to strengthening legal awareness, ethical digital behavior, and Sharia-based economic understanding among santri in response to rapid digital transformation. The service was conducted through an empowerment-based and participatory approach, including interactive lectures, guided discussions, case-based learning, and reflective evaluation. The activities were implemented in a structured, face-to-face format during the Ma’had’s academic period. The results indicate increased awareness of digital legal risks and improved understanding of Islamic economic principles in digital practices. This program implies the importance of interdisciplinary community engagement in fostering responsible, ethical, and law-abiding digital citizens.
