The rapid expansion of digital technology and financial access has presented complex social challenges for adolescents in coastal communities, particularly through the subtle proliferation of online gambling. In Teluk Nibung District, Tanjungbalai City, adolescents face digital exposure via malicious pop-up ads, compromised educational websites, and financial lures that even distort their career aspirations toward online gambling operations abroad. This study aims to analyze the strategic role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) as a compassionate, preventive, and curative resolution to mitigate this adolescent moral crisis. Utilizing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through deep interviews, field observations, and documentation involving PAI teachers, religious figures, parents, and local youth in Teluk Nibung. The findings reveal three core PAI strategies: (1) strengthening internal spiritual resilience through the revitalization of tauhid and muraqabah consciousness to counter gambling lures, (2) internalizing akhlak al-karimah and qana'ah to reshape life goals through empathetic role modeling (uswah hasanah), and (3) embedding digital ethics (akhlak digital) into Islamic muamalah learning. This study concludes that resolving adolescent moral crises caused by online gambling requires a collaborative, non-judgmental educational ecosystem integrating formal PAI in schools, youth mentorship in mosques, and supportive family supervision.
