The research method used is a qualitative approach supported by primary data in the form of document manuscripts, interview results, and content and material analysis from various academic activities such as seminars, workshops, and training related to the implementation of a lovebased curriculum. The research subjects include madrasah teachers and students involved in the implementation of a love-based curriculum. The novelty in this study lies in the implementation of a love-based curriculum in Qur'anic Education that is designed based on a deep learning approach within the framework of the philosophy of reconstructionism. This approach is realized through curriculum reconstruction that is adapted to the dynamics of developments in the era, including the integration of new technologies and cultures, without ignoring the foundation of Qur'anic values. The results of the study indicate that the application of a love-based curriculum can strengthen the formation of students' character through exemplary behavior (uswatun hasanah) and habituation that are internalized in the learning process at school.

Without a curriculum, formal education will not run well. The curriculum is said to be a plan that has been programmed in such a way and can be implemented optimally in the form of its implementation. The Islamic Education Curriculum certainly has a close relationship with Islamic Education itself, namely how it can provide understanding and awareness to the public about the importance of education and how society can be influenced by Islamic Education itself. Being addicted to Islamic education itself means liking and loving it and having a strong effort to continue the process without prioritizing material things, but rather looking at the values that emerge. This curriculum study cannot be separated from the values of Islamic education itself contained in the Al-Qur'an. The concept of education itself is basically stated in the Al-Qur'an: how we educate students with love and affection. As stated in Surah An-Nahl verse 25, "Call people to your God with wisdom and good lessons and refute them in a good way, verily it is your God who knows who has gone astray from his path and he is the one who knows best who is guided." This verse emphasizes that in providing education in the form of advice, it must be with wisdom, gentleness and tact in speaking. Education that is based on compassion will foster a sense of security, comfort, and will also be able to provide strong motivation to students. Students will be stronger in absorbing the knowledge and values taught. With the actualization of Al-Qur'an education in madrasas which is carried out with love and gentleness, of course it must be implemented with various in-depth approaches for students in madrasas. Curriculum and education certainly cannot be separated from the concept of philosophy, because with philosophy the problems that arise in education will be resolved completely without giving rise to new problems. So does this emerging curriculum update not have a recontractionist context, namely by maintaining the cultural values of the past, 34 | P a g e Baitul Hikmah: Jurnal Ilmiah Keislaman Volume 4 No. 1 Edisi Januari – Juni 2026 Halaman 33 – 41 maintaining religious concepts and continuing to follow the existing rules of the times with developments in technology, culture and progress of the times? As the author notes, the current curriculum approach is student-centered, where educators serve as facilitators, guiding the learning process in the field. Students are considered potential individuals with varying intelligence. The educator's task here is to implement methods and various teaching patterns to continuously hone students' abilities, and then train and continually raise students' awareness of the importance of education in madrasas with awareness. Based on the various analyses above, the author will formulate this study regarding how to apply Quranic education in a love-based curriculum. The year 2045 is a crucial moment for the Indonesian nation, known for its vision of "Golden Indonesia," which aspires to become a developed nation with a strong economy and global competitiveness by improving the quality of life of its people and promoting environmental sustainability. Of course, to realize this vision, the key lies in developing quality human resources. To develop quality human resources, they must possess intellectual skills, high moral standards, and be resilient in facing global challenges. All of this is achieved through a love-based curriculum, designed to convey a new sense of Islamic education grounde (...truncated)
