Abstract
The integration of Islamic values into English Language Teaching (ELT) is widely acknowledged; however, the use of Islamic Digital Learning Materials (IDLM) remains limited amid the rise of technology-based education. This study aims to investigate the implementation of IDLM in ELT, explore the types of multimedia used, and examine its effects on student engagement, motivation, and language development. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method following PRISMA guidelines, data was collected from databases like ERIC and Scopus for publications between January 2021 and June 2025. From 6,567 identified records, five articles were analyzed. The findings indicate that platforms such as Learning Management Systems (LMS), Powtoon, e-books, and YouTube positively contributed to learning outcomes. IDLM not only successfully improved English language skills but was also effective in fostering motivation, strengthening Islamic identity, and embedding character values. The study concludes that IDLM holds significant potential as an innovative ELT model
