In Indonesia, there are several religions recognized by the government, including Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Protestant Christianity, Catholic Christianity, and Confucianism, with the majority of the population adhering to Islam. There are two major Islamic celebration, namely Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, also known as Qurban. The goal of this research is to design an engaging educational medium about Qurban that aligns with Islamic law and supports junior high school learning outcomes. A qualitative method was applied, combining interviews with teachers and students with literature review to identify learning challenges and design needs. The results show that students often lose interest when learning about Qurban through text-based materials, while the use of visual and story-based media significantly increases their motivation and comprehension. The findings indicate that e-comics through PDF format in Google Drive can provide an effective supplementary tool by presenting procedures, permissible animal conditions, and the values of sincerity in Qurban through interactive visual storytelling. In conclusion, the designed e-comic offers a practical solution for enhancing student’s engagement in religious education. This research lies in providing teachers with a creative learning tool and contributing to the development of innovative media for Islamic education through e-comic
