In the era of globalization and technological advancement, religious education has an important role in shaping the character and morals of students. The research method used is library research with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data was collected through a review of various literature sources such as journals, books, and previous research results relevant to the topic. The results of the analysis show that there are several main factors that significantly affect the quality of Islamic religious education in schools. These factors include the competence and professionalism of teachers, the relevance and completeness of the religious education curriculum, the learning methods used, the availability of supporting facilities and infrastructure, and support from parents and the family environment. Each of these factors interacts with each other and determines the effectiveness of the Islamic religious learning process. These findings provide important implications for policy makers, schools, and teachers in formulating more effective strategies to improve the quality of Islamic religious education. This research is expected to be a reference in the development of educational programs that are more integrative, contextual, and in accordance with the needs of the times.
