<![CDATA[This study explores the integration of national and local curricula at Madrasah Diniyah Takmiliyah Ula Al-Hidayah, a non-formal Islamic educational institution in Klaten, in shaping the Muslim character of students. Employing a qualitative case study approach, it examines the implementation of learning strategies rooted in religious values and local wisdom to develop students’ spirituality, morality, intellectuality, and professionalism. Data collection through triangulation—including interviews, observations, and document analysis—provides detailed insights into curriculum integration and its impact on shaping student character. The findings reveal that integrating national and local curricula has successfully enhanced students’ understanding of local religious and cultural values, as evidenced by their daily behavior. Nonetheless, challenges persist, particularly in ensuring the availability of supporting resources. The study's limitations include its focus on a single institution and a relatively short observation period, which restrict the generalizability of its findings. This research contributes to the discourse on Islamic education curriculum development by underscoring the significance of harmonizing religious values and local wisdom for holistic education. Future research could explore curriculum integration across diverse educational settings and develop more comprehensive evaluation models. The study highlights the need for innovative curriculum design to nurture a generation of Muslim students equipped to adapt to contemporary challenges.]]>
