This study aims to construct a model of the transformation of humanism values in Islamic higher education based on the empirical experiences of STAI Rahmaniyah Sekayu and STEI Sekayu Palembang in Musi Banyuasin. The study employed a qualitative approach with a multisite case study design. Data were obtained from 22 informants comprising institutional leaders/managers, lecturers, and students through semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation. The data were analyzed through coding, categorization, thematic analysis, within-case analysis, and cross-case analysis, while data trustworthiness was strengthened through triangulation, member checking, reflexivity, and an audit trail. The findings indicate that the transformation of humanism values takes place through the interconnectedness of policies and curricula, learning practices, academic relationships, and academic culture. STAI Rahmaniyah places greater emphasis on character, moral conduct, and social concern, whereas STEI Sekayu places greater emphasis on justice, maslahah, economic ethics, and socio-professional responsibility. The cross-case synthesis resulted in a model consisting of Humanistic-Islamic Curriculum, Humanistic-Islamic Learning, and Humanistic-Islamic Academic Culture, reinforced through internalization, habituation, role modeling, and institutionalization. This model is contextual in nature and represents an empirical construction rather than an effectiveness model that has been experimentally tested.
