Islamic Religious Education, National Character, Globalization, ToleranceAbstract
Islamic Religious Education (PAI) plays an important role in shaping national character in Indonesia, especially at the secondary school level. However, a major challenge faced is how to integrate national values in religious learning amid globalization and rapid technological development. This study aims to analyze the implementation of PAI in shaping national character at Al Iman Qur'an Science Junior High School. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection methods through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that Al Iman Qur'an Science Junior High School has successfully integrated national values in PAI, with a positive impact on students' understanding of tolerance, unity, and a sense of nationalism. Although there are challenges related to the influence of global culture and the lack of parental understanding, this school successfully overcomes these challenges through extracurricular activities, community involvement, and the use of relevant learning media. The study concludes that nationality-based religious education can shape students' character to be better and ready to contribute as citizens who care about the nation.
