This study examines innovations in Islamic education and their contributions to improving the quality of human resources in Indonesia. It employs a qualitative approach using a systematic literature review (SLR) guided by the PRISMA 2020 framework to ensure a systematic, transparent, and replicable literature selection process. Data were collected from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, covering publications from 2020 to 2026. Across the identification, screening, and selection stages, 27 articles met the inclusion criteria and were further analysed using thematic content analysis. The findings reveal three main themes: digital technology–based innovations that enhance access and learning effectiveness; participatory, student-centred pedagogical innovations that foster critical thinking and creativity; and innovations that integrate spiritual and character values into the learning process to develop integrity and social awareness. These three dimensions are integrated into a holistic learning model that combines technology, pedagogy, and spirituality. The implications of this study suggest that integrative innovations in Islamic education can serve as an effective strategy for improving the quality of human resources who are adaptive, well-characterised, and globally competitive. Therefore, policy support, enhancement of educators' competencies, and collaboration among stakeholders are essential to ensure the sustainability of these innovations.
