The implementation of the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) curriculum has encouraged higher education institutions to develop flexible learning systems while maintaining their institutional identity and values. For Islamic higher education institutions, the challenge is not only adapting to the MBKM policy but also integrating distinctive religious values into curriculum development. This study analyzes the integration of urban Sufism values into the MBKM curriculum at Institut Al Fithrah Surabaya, an Islamic higher education institution with a pesantren-based identity. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through curriculum document analysis, observation, and interviews with institutional stakeholders. Data analysis used data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the integration of urban Sufism values in the MBKM curriculum is implemented through three main processes: (1) incorporating Sufism-based values into curriculum components, (2) internalizing values through learning activities and academic culture, and (3) actualizing these values in students' daily lives. The values integrated into the curriculum include piety, honesty, sincerity, perseverance, ethical conduct, consistency, self-discipline, and responsibility. This study shows that integrating urban Sufism values provides a distinctive model for implementing MBKM in Islamic higher education institutions by balancing academic competence development with spiritual and moral formation.
