The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education offers significant opportunities to transform learning processes, including in Catholic Religious Education (CRE) at the senior high school level. This article aims to identify effective and ethical strategies for integrating AI into CRE instruction by considering Catholic faith values and students’ character development. The study uses a qualitative literature review approach to analyze scholarly sources and current practices of AI application in education. Findings indicate that AI can enhance personalized learning, provide real-time feedback, and create more interactive and context-rich learning experiences. Practical implementations such as adaptive learning systems, chatbots, and AI-based simulations have shown positive impacts on students' comprehension. However, challenges including teacher readiness, technological infrastructure, and ethical concerns must be addressed seriously. Therefore, integrating AI in CRE must be done thoughtfully, responsibly, and in harmony with religious and moral contexts. With careful planning, AI can become a valuable tool to deepen students' faith understanding and support holistic character formation in the digital age.

This article discusses the profit-sharing system as one of the main pillars in Islamic economics, focusing on its ideal concept, implementation, challenges, and development opportunities in Islamic financial institutions in Indonesia. This system is based on the principles of justice, partnership, and shared responsibility through mudharabah and musyarakah contracts. Although normatively acknowledged and regulated by Islamic finance fatwas and regulations, its practical application still faces various obstacles such as low Islamic financial literacy, weak supervision, and the dominance of fixed-margin-based products. Nevertheless, digital technology development, the potential of the MSME sector, and the strengthening of Islamic financial regulations and education provide significant opportunities to promote transformation toward a more inclusive and just financial system. Therefore, synergy among financial institutions, regulators, and society is required to optimally realize the implementation of the profit-sharing system in Islamic economic practices.
