Keywords: Islamic Education, PowerPoint Media, Prophet Exemplarity. A. INTRODUCTION Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in elementary schools plays an important role in shaping students’ character, morals, and noble conduct. One of the core topics that serves as a foundation is the exemplary character of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), which includes the values of noble character, honesty, trustworthiness, and responsibility. However, in classroom practice, teachers often face challenges related to the limited availability of methods and media that can attract students’ attention.

In the context of 21st-century learning, teachers are required tobe creative and innovative so that the learning process does not become monotonous. With varied visual displays, PowerPoint can serve as a medium for creating interactive and enjoyable learning experiences (Rahmawati S, 2019) . The use of PPT media in delivering the exemplary character of Prophet Muhammad is highly relevant in today’s digital era. Students can more easily remember moral messages when they are presented through attractive visualizations, such as illustrations, images, or even short video clips (Putra A, 2022) . In addition, teachers can insert slide-based interactive quizzes to directly assess students’ understanding. In this way, the learning process does not take place in only one direction, but instead creates two-way communication betwee
