Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) plays a strategic role in strengthening students’ faith through the internalization of aqidah values as the fundamental basis of Muslim belief. However, technological advancements and the rapid flow of digitalization present various challenges to students’ faith development. This study aims to analyze the concept of aqidah values in Islamic Religious Education learning, identify the challenges of the digital era toward students’ faith, and describe strategies for integrating aqidah values into PAI learning to strengthen students’ faith. This research employed a library research method with a descriptive-analytical approach through the examination of various relevant literature sources, scientific journals, and academic references. The findings indicate that the integration of aqidah values in PAI learning significantly contributes to strengthening students’ faith and shaping their Islamic character. Strategies for integrating aqidah values can be implemented through exemplary approaches, habituation, discipline, participatory learning, contextual approaches, and the creation of a religious and reflective learning environment.
