This research is motivated by the importance of strengthening students' religious character through Islamic Religious Education (PAI) based on Ahlussunnah wal Jama'ah (Aswaja) as an effort to counteract extreme religious attitudes and shape moderate personalities. This study aims to describe the Aswaja-based PAI learning strategy through the use of the Tebuireng Library Aswaja Book in shaping students' religious character at SMK Plus Khoiriyah Hasyim Tebuireng. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study type. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques, and their validity was tested through triangulation. The results show that the learning strategy is carried out through the integration of the values ​​of tawassuth, tasamuh, tawazun, and i'tidal in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of learning. The Aswaja Book is used as the main learning resource that supports the internalization of religious moderation values ​​through classroom learning and religious habits in the school environment. This implementation contributes positively to increasing students' religiosity, discipline, tolerance, and noble character. Thus, Aswaja-based Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning through the Tebuireng Aswaja Book is effective in shaping the religious character of vocational high school students.
