Keywords:
Social Media, Generation Z, Islamic KnowledgeAbstract
Generation Z is a generation born in the early 2000s when technological developments occurred so rapidly. Social media is a tool that is familiar in carrying out daily activities, especially as a place to increase knowledge, especially Islamic knowledge. This needs to be straightened out so that social media can provide more benefits than disadvantages, making its users someone who has noble character because of the wide range of knowledge that can be accessed as a means of increasing faith. This research is a qualitative research using descriptive analysis techniques with library research. The results of the study reveal that a person's character, morals, aqidah and understanding are seen from what they follow. Using social media as a means of increasing Islamic knowledge can be done by watching videos on Youtube, Tiktok, looking for information on trusted websites and following beneficial accounts on Instagram. Apart from that, as a generation living in the 4.0 era, we need to be more critical in sorting out information and knowledge, especially knowledge about religion.
