This study aims to analyse the strategic role of Islamic Education (PAI) teachers in developing competency-based and character-based learning methods in the era of independent curriculum. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach that reviews scientific journals, reference books, and academic articles through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing using source triangulation techniques. The results of this study indicate that PAI teachers have three dimensions of strategic roles: pedagogical (designing innovative learning), spiritual (internalising Islamic values), and socio-ethical (shaping digital character). Effective innovative learning methods include Project-Based Learning, Problem-Based Learning, and Inquiry-Based Learning, which integrate 21st-century skills with religious character building. The implementation of differentiated learning through differentiation of content, process, product, and environment has been proven to increase student motivation and participation. The success of competency- and character-based PAI learning is determined by the synergy between methodological innovation, the integration of technology with Islamic values, and teacher professionalism, as these three elements form a holistic learning ecosystem that bridges Islamic values with global competency requirements.
