Write here the abstract of the article in one paragraph, no more than 200 words. This study aims to examine the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Islamic Religious Education (PAI), with a focus on learning innovation, teacher autonomy, and administrative workload. The research method used is a literature review by analyzing various relevant academic sources. The findings indicate that the Merdeka Curriculum has the potential to improve the quality of learning through teacher creativity and student-centered learning approaches. However, its implementation still faces several challenges, such as limited teacher understanding, suboptimal use of teacher autonomy, and an increasing administrative workload that hinders the learning process. Therefore, support is needed in the form of improving teacher competencies and simplifying administrative tasks so that the objectives of the Merdeka Curriculum can be achieved optimally
