Entrepreneurship-based education serves as a strategic approach to equip students with practical skills relevant to facing modern economic challenges while preserving Islamic values. The research employed a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that Jabal Lubuk Raya Islamic Boarding School has implemented entrepreneurship education through an integrative curriculum combining religious studies with entrepreneurial skills. Key programs include business training, student-run business practices, and project-based learning. Supporting factors include the commitment of pesantren leaders, adequate facilities, and students' enthusiasm for entrepreneurship. However, challenges such as limited funding and gaps between theory and practice remain.
