<![CDATA[Islamic Religious Education (PAI) holds a strategic role in shaping students' morality and character amidst the challenges of globalization and the rise of extremist ideologies. This study aims to analyze the efforts to instill national values, tolerance, and anti-extremism through curricular and pedagogical transformations in PAI. Using a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis, the results indicate that national values can be integrated through Fiqh materials concerning obedience to the government and Islamic Cultural History that highlights the role of scholars in independence.
