Main Findings: The results showed a significant relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and self-confidence (SC) on student learning outcomes. Students who have high levels of emotional intelligence and self-confidence tend to achieve better learning outcomes, with the average learning outcome reaching 78.90, compared to students who have low levels of emotional intelligence and self-confidence which only reach 66.95. This finding confirms the importance of emotional intelligence and self-confidence development in the context of Islamic religious education.
