Digital transformation in education brings challenges and opportunities for Al-Hikmah's approach to education, which is based on Islamic wisdom and the strengthening of spiritual values. This study analyzes the role and challenges of educators in implementing Al-Hikmah education in the digital era using the systematic literature review (SLR) method. The results of the study show that although digital technology can improve access and effectiveness of learning, there is a risk of distortion of fundamental values if not integrated wisely. Educators are required to have multidimensional competencies, including mastery of technology, digital pedagogy, and a philosophical understanding of digital transformation. The development of a blended learning-based learning ecosystem is a solution that allows harmonization between conventional and digital learning. In addition, student self-regulation is an important aspect in ensuring the sustainability of Al-Hikmah values in the digital environment. This study recommends the need for a holistic assessment that accommodates spiritual, ethical, and intellectual dimensions to ensure the effectiveness of Al-Hikmah education in the digital era.
