<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the development of a future-oriented Islamic Education curriculum in the context of 21st-century learning. The research employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by examining scientific articles published between 2020–2025 from Google Scholar, ERIC, Scopus, Garuda, and SINTA-indexed journals. The article selection process was conducted systematically using inclusion and exclusion criteria related to Islamic Education curriculum development, digital literacy, character education, and 21st-century competencies. A total of 10 relevant articles were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The findings indicate that the 21st-century Islamic Education curriculum has shifted from conventional content-oriented learning toward competency-based and student-centered approaches. The curriculum integrates critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, digital literacy, character education, and religious moderation into Islamic learning processes. Technology integration through digital media and online learning platforms enhances student engagement and learning effectiveness. However, several challenges remain, including limited teacher digital competence, inadequate technological infrastructure, and the persistence of conventional teaching practices. The study concludes that future-oriented Islamic Education curriculum development requires innovation, technological adaptation, and contextual learning strategies to prepare globally competitive yet religiously grounded Muslim students. Keywords: Islamic education curriculum, 21st-century learning, digital literacy, religious moderation, future-oriented curriculum.
