<![CDATA[Islamic Religious Education (PAI) needs to be designed actively so that students not only understand the material but are also interested, engaged, and able to connect Islamic values with their lives. This article aims to analyze Inquiry Learning-based PAI learning strategies in increasing students' learning interest. The study uses a library research method with a qualitative-descriptive approach. Data were obtained from journal articles and scientific documents discussing PAI learning, Inquiry Learning, and learning interest. The results show that Inquiry Learning has the potential to increase learning interest through the provision of contextual stimuli, formulation of questions, information searching, discussion, testing of understanding, drawing conclusions, and reflection. Its effectiveness is influenced by teacher readiness, quality of teaching materials, use of varied media, a communicative classroom atmosphere, and mentoring for students who are still passive. With systematic planning, Inquiry Learning can make PAI learning more meaningful, participatory, and oriented towards the formation of knowledge, attitudes, and the practice of Islamic values.]]>
