The Problem of Digital Economic Literacy in Generation Z and the Qur'an as a Solution
Keywords:
Digital Literacy, Economic Literacy, Generation Z, Qur’an PerspectiveAbstract
The rapid development of science and technology, particularly in the field of communication technology, has had a significant impact on various aspects of life, including economics and social aspects. The widespread use of digital media has made Generation Z the dominant age group in the use of this technology. However, the low interest in economic literacy in Indonesia is concerning, as data from UNESCO shows that only a small portion of the population is interested in economic literacy. This is worrying, considering the importance of knowledge in Islam, which emphasizes the command to learn and read, as stated in Surah Al-‘Alaq and Al-Mujadalah. This study aims to explore the low digital economic literacy among Generation Z and seek solutions through the perspective of the Qur'an. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive-analytical approach, where data is obtained through literature studies and analyzed using content analysis. The research findings show that the low digital economic literacy among Generation Z is caused by the habit of consuming short content and dependence on technology for entertainment. The solutions offered in the Qur'an, as stated in QS. Al-‘Alaq verses 1-5 and QS. Al-Isra’ verse 36, can serve as the foundation for strategies to strengthen more productive and wise economic literacy. The integration of Qur'anic values into modern literacy has proven effective in improving the quality of human resources in the digital age.
