Abstract This study explored the perceived effects of social media on Islamic education among 40 college students at Mahardika Institute of Technology. Using a descriptive survey method, the research examined how frequently students use social media, their preferred platforms, and the types of Islamic content they access. Results revealed that respondents, predominantly female and first-year students, heavily relied on mobile phones and frequently engaged with platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram. Students agreed that social media plays a positive role in expanding access to Islamic knowledge, fostering peer motivation, and providing diverse learning materials, with an overall weighted mean of 4.05. However, they also recognized its drawbacks, including distraction, misinformation, and reduced engagement with traditional religious education, reflected in a negative perception mean of 3.80. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences in perceptions when grouped by gender, age, or year level, indicating a shared understanding across demographic groups. The study concludes that social media can be a valuable tool for Islamic education if used responsibly and complemented by authentic sources and traditional learning methods. It recommends that schools promote media literacy, that scholars strengthen their online presence, and that students practice mindful and balanced use. Future studies may broaden the scope and adopt qualitative approaches to gain deeper insights into social media’s impact on Islamic learning.
