This research aims to examine phenomenology and case study approaches in qualitative research, focusing on their characteristics, differences, and relevance to Islamic Religious Education. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with library research type, utilizing various written sources such as books, scientific journal articles, proceedings, and other academic sources relevant to phenomenology and case study research. Data collection techniques are carried out through documentation studies, namely identifying, reviewing, and organizing various literature related to the characteristics, differences, and relevance of phenomenology and case study approaches in Islamic Religious Education research. Data analysis is conducted using content analysis techniques, including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that phenomenology focuses on the lived experience of individuals and seeks to find the essence of meaning behind a phenomenon, while case studies focus on a specific case in a real-life context with clear boundaries. Both approaches have significant relevance in the development of Islamic Religious Education, where phenomenology helps understand the religious experiences of students, while case studies provide concrete descriptions of the implementation of Islamic Religious Education in various educational contexts.
