<![CDATA[The transformation of education in the digital era requires Islamic higher education institutions to integrate technology to overcome the limitations of conventional methods, which tend to be passive and less engaging. This study aims to analyze the implementation of multimedia learning and its contribution to improving student achievement at the Faculty of Islamic Studies at the Muslim University of Indonesia (UMI) Makassar, reviewed through theological, managerial, and sociological approaches. Using a descriptive qualitative method with a case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies with lecturers and students, then validated using triangulation techniques. The results revealed that the implementation of multimedia, which includes the use of video, animation, interactive presentations, and digital quizzes, has been effective. From a theological perspective, multimedia helps visualize abstract Islamic concepts; from a managerial perspective, its implementation requires structured planning and facility support; while from a sociological perspective, this method builds a collaborative digital learning culture. Key findings indicate that multimedia integration significantly improves student attention, motivation, and understanding, which leads to improved academic achievement. It is concluded that multimedia learning is a vital strategy in the modernization of Islamic education which is able to change class dynamics to be more active and competitive without eliminating the essence of Islamic values.
