Education is not only a means of knowledge transmission but also a social process involving values, norms, and social interactions. This article aims to analyze the relevance of functionalism, conflict theory, symbolic interactionism, and exchange theory in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) based on local wisdom. This study employs a library research method with a descriptive-analytical approach. The findings indicate that the four theories provide complementary perspectives for understanding PAI as a social process. Local wisdom, such as mutual cooperation, deliberation, mutual respect, and concern for others, can be connected to Islamic values, including ta’awun (mutual assistance), syura (deliberation), and ukhuwah (brotherhood). Therefore, integrating sociological theories and local wisdom can support PAI learning that is more contextual and closely connected to students’ lives while ensuring consistency with Islamic principles.
