The influence of social media on students’ religious understanding has become an important issue in education in the digital era. Social media is not only used as a means of communication and entertainment, but also serves as an easily accessible source of religious information for students. Various digital platforms provide students with opportunities to gain religious knowledge through sermons, educational videos, online religious studies, and religious discussions. However, on the other hand, the use of social media can also have negative impacts, such as the spread of unreliable religious information, shallow understanding, and exposure to content that is inconsistent with religious values. This article aims to examine the influence of social media on students’ religious understanding and to analyze the positive and negative impacts of social media use in the learning process and the development of students’ religious character. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research method through the review of journals, books, and other relevant sources. The findings show that social media has a significant influence on how students understand religious teachings. The wise use of social media can help improve religious insight, motivation to learn religion, and students’ religious awareness. However, supervision, guidance, and strong digital literacy are needed so that students are able to filter religious information appropriately and responsibly. Therefore, social media can serve as an educational tool that supports the strengthening of students’ religious understanding in the digital era
