The advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought about significant changes in educational processes—including Islamic Religious Education (PAI)—while simultaneously presenting challenges regarding technological literacy, academic integrity, digital ethics, and student character development. This study aims to reconstruct PAI instruction in the AI era by integrating AI literacy, digital ethics, and Qur’anic values as a pedagogical and ethical foundation for technology utilization. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing a literature review method to analyze scholarly works on AI in education, AI literacy, digital ethics, Islamic education, and Qur’anic values. Data were analyzed using a descriptive-analytical method involving stages of identification, classification, interpretation, synthesis, and conceptual formulation. The findings indicate that PAI instruction in the AI era requires reconstruction—shifting from a knowledge-transfer orientation toward transformative learning that integrates technological competence with character (akhlaq) development. This reconstruction yields an integrative framework encompassing critical AI literacy, responsible digital ethics, and the internalization of values such as *tabayyun* (verification), *amanah* (trustworthiness), honesty, responsibility, and *maslahah* (public interest/well-being). The study highlights the need to strengthen the role of PAI teachers as educators, ethical guides, and AI literacy facilitators in shaping students who are both technologically adaptive and grounded in Qur’anic character.
