Even the rise and fall of a nation depends on the amount of education it receives. The education field is not static, but instead, it is constantly evolving. The education system in Malaysia requires an effective blueprint to ensure that it alligns with the globalisation era. Of course, it is undoubtedly based on Falsafah Pendidikan Negara that upholds the Rukun Negara. Nonetheless, despite of the vast technological advancement and innovation today as an effect of 21st century globalisation and industrial revolution 4.0, the main natinal education objective needs to be preserved to ensure it does not digress to the point of failure.

Nonetheless, the teaching and facilitating of Islamic educaton need to achieve its ultimate goal, which is to produce a muslim generation that takes the role as both servant and vicegerent of Allah on this earth. This paper intends to analyze the latest technological advancement and innovation in the education world as well as the challenges it poses towards the Islamic education teachers.
