The challenge in current educational practice is the change with the emergence and
development of technology. On the one hand, this challenge has a positive impact,
on the other hand, it also has a negative impact. This article is to analyze Paulo
Friere's thinking, the meaning of freedom education and its relevance in the era of
the technological revolution 4.0, an era of digitalization with the relevance of
religious education, especially Islam. To understand the relevance of technology 4.0
in the perspective of Islamic education, a series of related literature reviews were
successfully conducted. The results showed that Paulo's educational concept of
freedom of education when aligned with Islamic education in the context of
freedom not fully possessed by humans such as the pattern of freedom of Paulo
Friere, freedom in Islam in question is free but not as free without regard to
religious values. In other words, freedom of education permitted in Islam is
freedom of education which is limited by Islamic values for human visibility.
