<![CDATA[This study examines the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in shaping students’ character in schools, primarily through their roles, namely as leaders, educators, motivators, and evaluators. This study was conducted using a qualitative approach, collecting data through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation in the school environment. Data analysis was done through data display, reduction, and conclusions drawing. The results of the study indicate that PAI teachers act as leaders who create an active and Islamic learning atmosphere and are role models for students. As motivators, teachers succeed in raising students’ enthusiasm to innovate and practice religious values in everyday life.
