<![CDATA[This study discusses the urgency of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum innovation in facing the challenges of technological development and social change in the 21st century. The PAI curriculum, as an important component of Islamic education, is required to be adaptive, relevant, and able to answer the needs of students in the digital era. This study uses a literature review method through an analysis of various literature related to curriculum, educational innovation, and PAI development. The results of the study indicate that curriculum innovation is needed to increase the relevance of PAI materials to contemporary issues such as digital literacy, technology ethics, religious moderation, and modern socio-religious problems. In addition, innovation is needed to develop 21st-century competencies, strengthen the internalization of values and morals, and accommodate the diversity of student learning styles. An innovative PAI curriculum also requires increased teacher competency as facilitators and spiritual guides. Thus, PAI curriculum innovation is a strategic step to ensure that Islamic education remains contextual, transformative, and capable of shaping a generation with superior character amidst the dynamics of the times.]]>
