This study examines the role of the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum in promoting competency-based learning at Miftahussalam Private Madrasah Aliyah (MAS), Medan. The study is significant in light of the need to improve the quality of Islamic education so that learners develop intellectual, spiritual, and social competence in the era of globalization. A descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentary analysis of curriculum documents, syllabi, lesson plans (RPP), and assessment instruments. The participants comprised the head of the madrasah, the vice principal for curriculum affairs, six PAI teachers, and thirty students from Grades X, XI, and XII. The findings indicate that the PAI curriculum at MAS Miftahussalam Medan has incorporated a competency-based approach through the development of Core Competencies (KI) and Basic Competencies (KD), encompassing four dimensions: spiritual, social, knowledge, and skills. Nevertheless, a gap remains between planning and implementation, particularly in the consistent application of authentic assessment and active learning methods. The principal constraints involve limited learning technology facilities and insufficiently developed teacher professionalism. The study recommends periodic curriculum revision, strengthened teacher capacity, and a more robust collaborative ecosystem involving the madrasah, families, and the wider community.
