Religious Education (PAI) learning strategies. The research was conducted through literature study method by reviewing various scientific sources such as journals, books, and relevant research reports. The results of the study show that teachers have a strategic role in designing learning that is in accordance with the characteristics of students, creating an interactive and empathetic classroom atmosphere, and instilling humanist values that are in line with Islamic teachings, such as compassion, tolerance, and justice. The challenges faced include limited pedagogical competence, administrative burden, and lack of support for learning facilities. To overcome this, continuous professional training, strengthening curriculum policies, and utilizing technology are needed. Effective and humanist learning strategies are proven to be able to improve students' understanding, attitudes and character as a whole, and support the realization of religious education that is transformative and relevant to the needs of the times.
