This study addresses the critical challenge of curriculum desynchronization between Arabic language instruction and Islamic Studies (PAI) in Indonesian Senior High Schools (Madrasah Aliyah). While Arabic serves as an essential medium for understanding religious texts, current instructional models often isolate linguistic mechanics from theological content, resulting in intellectual fatigue and reduced student engagement. Grounded in the frameworks of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) and the Love-Based Curriculum (Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta / KBC), this research investigates how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can bridge linguistic and conceptual gaps across these disciplines. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered through document analysis of learning standards, classroom observations, and in-depth interviews with educators. The findings demonstrate that AI-mediated learning tools effectively harmonize Arabic grammar with Islamic Studies themes, mitigating cognitive load and fostering a humanistic, empathetic learning environment. Furthermore, this study proposes an interdisciplinary collaborative framework for educators to synchronize language skills with religious comprehension simultaneously. Ultimately, the research highlights AI's transformative potential as a pedagogical mediator in modernizing Islamic secondary education.
