This study examines the integration of the Curriculum of Love in strengthening Indonesian language politeness based on Islamic educational values among students at As'adiyah Islamic University Sengkang. The Curriculum of Love, conceptualized by Prof. Dr. KH. Nasaruddin Umar, M.A., emphasizes compassion, respect, and ethical communication as fundamental principles of Islamic education. Using a mixed-methods approach, this research involved 156 students across various faculties through surveys, focus group discussions, and linguistic analysis of student discourse. The findings reveal three significant dimensions: the theoretical framework connecting Islamic values with language politeness, the pedagogical strategies employed in curriculum implementation, and the observable outcomes in student communication patterns. Data analysis demonstrated substantial improvements in students' use of honorifics, respectful address forms, and empathetic communication following curriculum integration. The study identifies critical success factors including faculty commitment, culturally responsive pedagogy, and institutional support systems. These findings contribute to ongoing discussions about values-based education in Islamic universities and offer practical frameworks for integrating spiritual and linguistic competencies in higher education contexts across Indonesia.
