Abstract

Conclusion. The integration of Islamic values into lesson planning received a high score (average score of 4.33), with significant strength in aligning teaching materials with Islamic principles. The implementation of Islamic values in teacher-student interactions achieved very good results (average score of 4.7), although the use of references from the Qur'an and Hadith in lessons needs improvement (average score of 3.0). The results show significant success in fostering Islamic character in students, such as honesty (average score 4.76) and responsibility (average score 4.26). This program effectively promotes the development of Islamic character in students while identifying gaps in the integration of religious references. Further teacher training and the use of technology are recommended to enhance implementation. These findings affirm the value of integrating Islamic principles into education to achieve holistic character development in line with broader educational goals.
