This study explores the integration of Islamic values into the inclusive education program at an Islamic school in Indonesia. Using a case study approach, the research examines how Islamic principles are embedded in the education of special needs students (SNS) to foster their academic, social, and spiritual development. Data were collected through interviews with five experienced teachers who actively contribute to the program and classroom observations of students aged 12-15. The qualitative data, including direct quotes and fieldnotes, illustrate how Islamic values are operationalized in practice. The study identifies core values such as empathy, resilience, gratitude, and compassion, which are embedded in daily activities including ritual worship (salah), Quran recitation, and charitable acts (sadaqah). Findings indicate that these values not only support spiritual growth but also enhance students' social interaction, emotional well-being, and academic progress. The study also discusses challenges in integrating Islamic values into the curriculum and highlights strategies such as the Individual Education Program (IEP), which aligns academic goals with spiritual development. It concludes that the school's holistic approach offers a distinctive model for blending Islamic values with inclusive education, fostering a supportive and empathetic learning environment for special needs students.
