This article discusses the importance of integrating religious knowledge and science in Islamic education, particularly within the pesantren environment. In the context of changing times and global demands, Islamic education is required to produce a generation that is not only religious but also academically competent. Pesantren, as traditional Islamic educational institutions, have great potential to develop an integrative curriculum model that unites spiritual values and scientific rationality. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using case study and phenomenological methods. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation in several pesantren and madrasahs that have implemented integrative curricula. The findings show that the integration model can be applied through integrated, contextual, and interdisciplinary curriculum approaches. Despite challenges such as limited resources and cultural resistance, knowledge integration has proven effective in improving the quality of learning and shaping students’ holistic character. This article recommends strengthening teacher capacity, developing reflective curricula, and policy support as strategies for sustainability
