<![CDATA[This research is motivated by the urgent need for education that goes beyond academics to address the character, morals, and spiritual dimensions of students in facing the challenges of the times. The study focuses on the implementation of a love-based curriculum to strengthen humanist values at the Mambaul Falah Blitar Qur'ani Middle School. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation with the principal, teachers, and students. Data analysis was carried out interactively, encompassing reduction, presentation, and conclusion-drawing stages to ensure the validity of the field findings. The research results revealed that the love-based curriculum was integrated holistically through the instillation of compassion in daily interactions and academic programs. The findings indicate that the internalization of humanist values such as empathy, responsibility, and social concern was successfully built through warm communication between teachers and students. Concrete steps include the use of inspirational media in learning and routine habits through religious activities. However, the main challenges lie in limited teacher competency and instructional time. The main conclusion confirms that the love-based curriculum is a strategic instrument for creating a harmonious educational ecosystem. Therefore, real efforts are needed to align humanist values between the madrasa environment and the real lives of students on a daily basis in order to realize noble character qualities through strong synergy between the school, parents, and the entire community.
