<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the urgency of improving the professionalism of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in Indonesia in facing the challenges of the digital era and globalization, and to formulate a professional development model relevant to the needs of contemporary Islamic education. Using a library research approach with qualitative content analysis, this study examines primary and secondary literature from journals, books, policy documents, and research findings from the last ten years. The results indicate that the professionalism of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers must be developed holistically, encompassing the integration of pedagogical competencies, technological mastery, Islamic values, and active involvement in educational policy. The proposed professional development model, the Quadripartite Professionalism Framework, has been shown to improve digital literacy, reflective skills, and the effectiveness of Islamic values learning. The study's conclusions confirm that improving the professionalism of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers based on the integration of Islamic values and pedagogical innovation is crucial for building a generation of Muslims with character, critical thinking, and adaptability. This study provides strategic recommendations for the development of sustainable Islamic education policies and practices in Indonesia.]]>
