This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the islamic religious education (pai) curriculum in improving the religious understanding of students at pondok pesantren daarul halim bandung. The implemented pai curriculum integrates the subjects of aqidah, fiqh, akhlaq, al-qur’an hadith, and islamic cultural history (ski), which are systematically and contextually designed to strengthen students’ religious understanding. This research employed a mixed methods approach with descriptive quantitative and qualitative methods. Data collection techniques included religious understanding tests, in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of 120 students from grades vii to xii, eight ustadz, and the pesantren leader. The results of the study indicate that the structured implementation of the pai curriculum significantly improved the students’ religious understanding, with an average gain score of 0.68, categorized as moderate to high. The success of the curriculum implementation was influenced by several supporting factors, including the competence of educators, the availability of adequate facilities and infrastructure, and the active involvement of students in the learning process. This study recommends the need for periodic curriculum updates, strengthening teacher competencies, and developing technology-based learning methods to improve the quality of islamic religious education in the pesantren environment.
