Objective: This study aims to understand the shift in moral values among Muslim students and analyze how Islamic philosophical values are implemented in the educational process at MTs Sholihiyyah Kalitengah. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework in this study is based on Islamic philosophy that emphasizes fundamental values such as the oneness of God (monotheism), morality, responsibility, and wisdom. These values are seen as an ethical basis in the formation of students' character. Literature review: The literature review includes a study of moral decay among Muslim students, the influence of digital culture on adolescent behavior, and the urgency of education based on Islamic ethical values. In addition, the role of teachers in transforming Islamic philosophical values through Islamic Religious Education subjects is also examined. Methods: This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of interviews and in-depth discussions with three Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers who teach the subjects of Moral Beliefs, Fiqh, and Al-Qur'an Hadith at MTs Sholihiyyah Kalitengah. Results: The results of the study showed a significant shift in students' moral behavior influenced by digital culture, lack of attention from family, and lack of optimal instilling of ethical values in the learning process. Despite these challenges, teachers still strive to apply Islamic philosophical values in teaching and learning activities. Implications: The importance of integrating Islamic philosophical values more systematically into curricula and learning strategies to strengthen the character and morals of Muslim students in the face of modern cultural challenges. Novelty: This research offers a new perspective by associating the phenomenon of moral decline of students with the weak application of Islamic philosophy values in daily education, as well as providing Islamic philosophy-based solutions for character formation in secondary educational institutions.
