The integration of digital and collaborative learning is transforming Islamic learning from a passive to an active approach. However, despite the availability of digital technologies, implementing these tools to enhance the educational experience remains a challenging issue for many Islamic education programs in Malaysia, which aim to provide students with a deeper spiritual understanding. Generally, this study aims to investigate the use of digital and collaborative learning in religious education and its implications for students’ appreciation of religious content. In this study, a quantitative survey approach was adopted to investigate the role of digital and collaborative learning resources in the appreciation of religious content. This study was carried out among Diploma in Islamic Education students in UiTM, Shah Alam. A sample of 43 students voluntarily and actively participated, surpassing the stipulated minimum and constituting a reasonable database for the up-front evaluation and revision of the research instrument and constructs. The findings are organised into three main areas: (a) the extent of digital learning utilisation; (b) the application of collaborative learning methods; and (c) the implications of these approaches for students' appreciation of Islamic content. In conclusion, the integration of digital and collaborative learning has created a significant factor that predicts students' appreciation of religious content, supported by empirical evidence regarding the potential impact of both digital and collaborative learning. This study also advises conducting longitudinal studies on how prolonged exposure to digital-collaborative religious education affects moral development.
