This study aims to reveal the comparative management of Islamic Education (Islamic Education) learning in Indonesia and Malaysia. The research method was a case study. The aspect of the study includes planning, implementation, and evaluation. Data collecting techniques were documents, archive records, interviews, and observations. The informant selection technique was a purposive sampling procedure from Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) Bego, Sembego, Maguwoharjo, Depok, Sleman, Yogyakarta, Indonesia and Sekolah Rendah Malaysia (Malaysian Primary School) or Sekolah Kebangsaan (Malay-medium National Schools) Jelotong, Paritraja, Batu Pahat, Johor, Malaysia. The results of the study show that both Indonesia and Malaysia produce similarities in terms of the stages of the planning, implementation, and evaluation processes.
