Democracy in Islamic education is an essential concept in creating an inclusive and participatory learning environment. This study aims to analyze the concept of democracy in Islamic education and its implementation in various educational contexts. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a literature review approach. Data is collected from various sources, including books, scientific journals, and academic articles relevant to the research topic. The findings indicate that democracy in Islamic education is rooted in the principles of justice, deliberation, and respect for individual rights. Islam encourages active student participation in the learning process, provides freedom of thought, and emphasizes the importance of dialogue and deliberation in decision-making. The implementation of democracy in Islamic education can be observed in various learning models that involve students, such as group discussions, problem-based learning, and constructivist approaches. Nevertheless, challenges in applying democracy in Islamic education persist, including cultural aspects, educational policies, and the authoritarian approach that remains dominant in some educational institutions. Therefore, comprehensive strategies are needed to ensure that democratic values in Islamic education can be effectively applied, resulting in individuals who are critical, independent, and responsible.
