This research is motivated by the challenges of globalisation, technological developments, and the dichotomy between religious studies and science that still influences Islamic education practices. This study is important to show how Islamic boarding schools respond to these challenges while maintaining their Islamic identity. This study aims to analyse strategies for strengthening Islamic education in an era of global disruption through the integration of science, religion, and pedagogical innovation at the Al-Ittifaqiah Indralaya Islamic boarding school. This study examines efforts to strengthen Islamic education amid globalization, technological change, and the persistent dichotomy between religious and scientific knowledge through a case study of Al-Ittifaqiah Islamic Boarding School, Indralaya. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis, and analyzed thematically. The findings show that the pesantren has sought to integrate science and religion through value-based learning, scientific ethics, and pedagogical innovation, contributing to character development and learning relevance. However, the implementation process continues to face practical challenges, particularly limitations in the formal curriculum and educators’ digital literacy, which constrain the effectiveness of integration efforts. While the findings are limited to a single institutional context, the study provides insights into both the opportunities and obstacles involved in developing a more adaptive and integrative model of Islamic education in the era of global disruption.
