Abstract
The development of digital technology in the Society 5.0 era has led to a change in the character of students, where many students are more likely to seek religious knowledge through social media than from direct teachers. This phenomenon has led to a shift in religious authority and a shallow spiritual understanding. The urgency of this research lies in the need to revive the integral role of PAI teachers as teachers, guides, and cultivators of manners that shape the character and spiritual direction of students in the midst of digital currents. This research aims to examine in depth the role of PAI teachers in Islamic education, analyze the challenges of teachers in the era of Society 5.0, and understand the transformation of the role of teachers from mudarris (teachers of knowledge) to murabbi (builders of morals and character). The research method uses a qualitative approach with a type of literature study (library research). Primary data is sourced from the works of Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas, Muhaimin, and Abuddin Nata, while secondary data comes from relevant journals and articles. Data analysis is carried out with content analysis to examine the meaning, message, and relevance of the source. The results of the study show that PAI teachers have an integrative role covering intellectual, moral, and spiritual dimensions. The transformation from mudarris to murabbi requires mastery of knowledge, moral example, and spiritual guidance so that teachers are able to integrate Islamic values with technology in shaping civilized people in the digital era.
