Abstract

This article discusses the integration of Islamic values ​​in the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum as a strategic effort to create students with Islamic character, noble character, and competence in facing the challenges of the era of globalization. This study adopted a qualitative approach with a literature study method to identify concepts, principles and practices for integrating Islamic values ​​in the development of the PAI curriculum. The research results show that the integration of Islamic values ​​does not only focus on teaching religious material, but also includes the formation of thought patterns and attitudes that are in accordance with Islamic teachings in all aspects of students' lives. A holistic and contextual approach in curriculum design is the key to the success of this integration, by emphasizing monotheism, morals and social values ​​in various subjects, learning methods and co-curricular activities. This article concludes that the application of Islamic values ​​in the PAI curriculum is able to strengthen the spiritual and moral foundations of the younger generation and is a solution to the challenge of moral degradation in modern society
