The research employed a qualitative approach using library research methods through the analysis of primary and secondary sources, including the Qur’an, Hadith, tafsir books, books, and scientific articles. The findings reveal that the stories and prayers of the prophets contain exemplary values of spirituality, morality, leadership, patience, and responsibility that are highly relevant to the challenges of modern education. These values can strengthen Islamic Religious Education in shaping religious, moderate, humanistic, and adaptive character in response to technological advancement and social change.
