Contemporary Islamic education faces various internal and external challenges that hinder its development in the era of globalization. Problems such as limited funds, inadequate facilities, the quality of educators who are not yet professional, and learning methods that are not adaptive are strategic issues that need serious attention. This research uses a qualitative approach with literature studies to examine the reality of Islamic education, emerging strategic issues, and progressive solutions that can be implemented. The results of the study show that Islamic education must be reconstructed by integrating authentic Islamic values and the principles of modernization of education that are responsive to the times. Modern Islamic education not only emphasizes ukhrowi aspects, but also worldly aspects, so that it is able to produce a generation that is religious, moral, adaptive, innovative, and globally competitive. The concept of modernization of Islamic education must overcome the dichotomy between religious science and secular science by prioritizing a balance between Islam, Indonesianness, and science. Thus, Islamic education can play a strategic role in educating the nation's life and building an advanced civilization without losing Islamic identity
