Islamic education has a strategic role in shaping the quality of human resources who are knowledgeable, moral, and capable of facing the development of the times. This study aims to analyze the construction of Islamic education toward strengthening literacy in the development of human resource quality. Literacy strengthening is understood not only as the ability to read and write, but also as the ability to understand, process, and utilize information critically and responsibly. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a library research method through the analysis of various relevant literature, journals, books, and scientific sources. The results of the study indicate that Islamic education contributes to literacy strengthening through the inculcation of scientific values, the habituation of reading culture, the development of critical thinking, and the integration of knowledge and morality. In addition, Islamic education is able to shape human resources who are not only intellectually superior but also possess strong moral and spiritual character. Therefore, the construction of Islamic education becomes one of the important foundations in improving the quality of human resources that are adaptive, competitive, and based on Islamic values in the era of globalization
