This study examines the implementation of Islamic values-based Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in Islamic Religious Education and its contribution to strengthening students’ social character at MTs. Nur Al-Anshar Labuhan Batu Utara. A qualitative single-case study design was employed involving ten informants, consisting of one madrasah principal, one Islamic Religious Education teacher, and eight students selected purposively. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings show that PjBL was implemented through planning, project execution, and evaluation stages that integrated Islamic values into authentic learning activities. The main values developed were ta'awun, ukhuwah, trustworthiness, responsibility, discipline, social concern, and respect for others. These values were strengthened through collaboration, task distribution, problem solving, reflection, and teacher facilitation. The study also found that PjBL contributed to stronger cooperation, communication, responsibility, and social awareness among students. Its novelty lies in positioning PjBL not merely as an active learning strategy, but as a structured pedagogical mechanism for internalizing Islamic values through authentic social experiences within the context of Islamic Religious Education practice.
