Abstract: Islamic education has a strategic role in shaping the character and morals of students in line with the principles of democracy. This article aims to examine how democratic values such as equality, justice, deliberation, and tolerance can be instilled through the process of Islamic education, both formally in educational institutions and in non-formal contexts such as religious studies and socio-religious activities. With a qualitative descriptive approach and literature study, this study shows that Islamic education can be an effective instrument in instilling democratic values through the integration of religious teachings, teacher role models, and strengthening the curriculum that encourages dialogue, freedom of thought, and respect for differences. Instilling democratic values in Islamic education is not only relevant to the development of national character, but also becomes an important foundation in forming a civilized civil society.
