This study examines the integration of humanistic psychology in the learning model to increase students' learning motivation in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) subjects. Using qualitative literature study methods, this study synthesizes relevant theoretical and empirical literature on student-centered learning, motivational theory, and psychological needs. The results show that the application of a humanistic-based approach—which emphasizes empathy, autonomy, and meaningful learning—is able to increase students' intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. A supportive learning environment and reflective teaching strategies play an important role in encouraging emotional and spiritual engagement. This study confirms the transformative potential of psychological models in religious education and recommends its practical application to improve learning outcomes and student character formation
