Objective: This study aims to develop an Islamic Human Capital strengthening model through Sharia economics education integrated with the Sustainable Development Goals at the Abdullah Al Busyroni Tahfiz Al-Qur'an Islamic Boarding School, Serdang Bedagai, North Sumatra. Theoretical Framework: The framework integrates Islamic Human Capital, Sharia economics education, and sustainable development, emphasizing spiritual values, intellectual capacity, social responsibility, and productive competencies. Literature Review: Previous studies have examined Islamic education, character development, entrepreneurship, and SDGs separately. Limited research has explored their integration into a comprehensive model of Islamic Human Capital development in Islamic boarding schools. Methods: This study employs qualitative applied research using Participatory Action Research. Data were collected through interviews, observations, documentation, and Focus Group Discussions , then analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña's interactive model. Results: The findings reveal integration through fiqh muamalah, Islamic business principles, syirkah, mudharabah simulations, cooperative management, and environmentally responsible practices. The proposed model comprises four components: Religious Capital, Intellectual Capital, Social Capital, and Productive Capital, supported by three pillars: Spiritual Capital, Fikriyah Capital, and Amaliyah Capital. Teachers, administrators, and students contribute as facilitators, coordinators, and active participants, respectively. Implications: The model offers guidance for integrating Islamic values, economic competencies, and sustainability into pesantren education, although systematic validation remains necessary. Novelty: This study introduces an integrated Islamic Human Capital model connecting religious integrity, intellectual development, social engagement, and productive capabilities within an SDG-oriented Sharia economics education framework.
