Abstract

The moral crisis among children has become an increasingly concerning social phenomenon in the contemporary era, characterized by declining ethical values, discipline, and responsibility due to environmental influences, digital media exposure, and weak parental guidance. This condition highlights the crucial role of parents as primary educators in shaping children’s character. This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to enhance parents’ awareness and understanding of the importance of Islamic parenting as an educational response to contemporary moral challenges among children. The program was implemented through online socialization and educational sessions conducted on December 23, 2025, in collaboration with Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL), Malaysia. The activity involved parents, educators, and the general public as participants and employed lecture-based presentations, interactive discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. The materials emphasized Islamic parenting concepts grounded in the values of the Qur’an and Sunnah, parental role modeling, and effective child-rearing strategies amid globalization and digitalization. The results of the program indicate a significant improvement in participants’ understanding and awareness of the urgency of applying Islamic values in family parenting practices. This activity also fostered a positive commitment among parents to consistently implement Islamic parenting as a preventive approach to addressing children’s moral decline. Therefore, the Islamic parenting movement serves as a relevant and sustainable educational solution for strengthening children’s moral and character development in contemporary society.
