Abstract

This study examines the construction of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) learning in Islamic junior high schools (MTs) within the context of globalization and rapid technological advancement. Using a narrative literature review approach, this research analyzed 73 peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025 to explore pedagogical strategies, digital integration, and the role of teachers in fiqh learning. The findings reveal three key dimensions. First, effective fiqh learning in the global era requires innovative, student-centered pedagogies supported by digital technology to enhance active learning while preserving Islamic spirituality. Second, digital integration should align with the Islamic Education 4.0 paradigm, balancing faith ( iman ), knowledge ( 'ilm ), and technology ( taqniyah ) grounded in maqāṣid al-sharī'ah. Third, the construction of fiqh learning must be integrative, collaborative, and adaptive, linking classical Islamic principles with contemporary global issues and multiliteracy skills. This approach also strengthens students' Islamic character and moral resilience against negative global influences such as hedonism and materialism. This study contributes a conceptual pedagogical framework that synthesizes digital pedagogy and Islamic values, offering practical implications for teachers, madrasah leaders, and policymakers in developing sustainable fiqh learning in the era of Islamic Education 4.0.
