INTRODUCTION
The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic around the world, including in Indonesia, has brought enormous changes in education. The world of education seems to make the house an educational institution that can replace formal educational institutions (Syah, 2020). Learning is currently carried out by paying attention to health protocols so that face-to-face learning is eliminated (Widiyono, 2020). Learning eventually inevitably took place at home, but not with the teacher's arrival to each student's house but with online Jurnal As-Salam, Vol. 4 No. 2 Juli -Desember 2020 (Print ISSN 2528-1402, Online ISSN 2549 Jurnal As-Salam Vol. 4 No. 2 Juli -Desember 2020: 205 -215 Darmi | 206 media. Current learning using the internet network is commonly referred to as E-Learning, or also known as online learning (online) (Meidawati, 2019). This online learning puts high pressure on teacher teaching activities; not even a few teachers have to spend extra energy to implement online learning as desired (Barseli et al., 2018).
In Islamic Religious Education as part of religious education that increases faith and piety as well as noble morals to enlighten the life of the nation as well as a very important role in shaping the character of the nation (Anam, 2017). The  pandemic is currently spreading, so it is feared that changing the way of learning to online learning will cause the learning objectives of Islamic Religious Education not to be achieved. Livana's research said that online learning causes stress when studying (Livana, Mubin Mohammad Fatkhul & Basthomi, 2020). The effectiveness of learning must also be considered because learning that is not effective will not produce good learning outcomes. Research conducted by Wisdom shows that online learning is only effective in certain subjects (Hikmat et al., 2020). It shows that online learning that has taken place has not been effective in all subjects.  Ibrahim, 2013). Also, the Covid-19 outbreak emergency requires distance learning. Of course, the teacher must innovate from face-to-face learning in E-Learning.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This article uses the library research method to answer the problem formulation, while the data sources used are scientific articles originating from the National Journal in Indonesia. Article searches are carried out on google scholar with Harzing's Publish or Perish application. The articles that will be used as data sources are articles with the theme of Islamic religious education and Covid-19. The search was carried out using the words "Islamic Religious Education" and "Covid" to match the problem's formulation to be answered. The search for articles was carried out in November 2020; articles were limited to the year they were published in 2020; this is because the Covid-19 pandemic began to spread in 2020. The articles found were 19 articles, then only 14 articles were used as data sources; this is because five manuscripts are not articles originating from journals. A list of journals and article titles that are data sources can be seen in Table 1. quizzes. Islamic Religious Education learning takes place in face-to-face and online lectures, which result in a hybrid model of online lectures since there are two face-to-face and online models (Larassati, 2020).
Electronic learning (e-learning) is learning that promotes face to face and online experiences. E-learning has different features; a) Readers cannot carry out face-to-face tasks up to 14 times. b) Internet-based activities designed in compliance with specific specifications shall be considered equal to face-to-face activities. c) Remote and face-toface tasks are configured alternately (Yuliana, 2020). Following the Covid-19 pandemic, the SMP 1 Pariaman formed social dissociations or physical distances to mitigate and secure SMP 1 Pariaman residents' spread of Covid-19. That is why a home learning strategy is developed by online learning (W. Susanti, 2020).
During the Covid-19 pandemic, online learning was introduced in school policy on Islamic Religious Education learning technology amid the Covid-19 pandemic centred on social separation at SMKN 5 Malang. This happened so quickly that many parties were either mentally or planning unprepared but had to deal with it. The school has developed an online learning facility. However, it frees any teacher from using other applications, which are considered easier for the KBM method. There will be no modifications to the curriculum or resources during online learning, but there will be unwritten changes to the learning process (Uun Almah, M. Ilyas Thohari, 2020).
Islamic Religious Education learning is carried out online; not all learning strategies can be applied in the Islamic Religious Education learning process. Several alternative strategies that are appropriate for achieving the learning objectives of Islamic Education include the following: (a) Inquiry / Guided Inquiry Learning, (b) Contextual Teaching Learning; and (c) Problem Based Learning (Giyarsi, 2020).
Islamic Religious Education learning at SMK Antartika 2 Sidoarjo was conducted online after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic (Ahmad Busthomy MZ, 2020).
Islamic Religious Education learning shifts from face-to-face learning to online-based learning (Dhaifi, 2020). E-Learning-based Islamic Religious Education is applied at MTS PAI Medan (Lubis & Yusri, 2020). Islamic Religious Education learning during the Covid-19 pandemic that was implemented at SDN Rejosari 3 used the internalization of the value of independent learning (Suntoro & Widoro, 2020). Islamic Religious Education learning in junior high school uses social media, social media users in the form of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, path, WhatsApp (Muslimah, 2020). The presence of this Corona Virus exposes confusion in Indonesia and elsewhere in the current education system, both in schools and universities, in engaging in or generally called online learning activities. This online learning makes it harder for teachers to create learning materials such as YouTube accounts, bloggers, oral writing, and learning media which excite student excitement and stop them bored, as well as discipline for children like using the Whatsapp application to zoom or to Video Call (Yusuf et al., 2020). Learning Islamic Religious Education in early childhood is carried out with the help of parents at home, teaching the values and the role of religion in the life that a child will go through. (Achmad, 2020a) Islamic religious education learning, which is applied in schools, starting from elementary school to university level, has shifted from face-to-face learning to face-toface learning. Face-to-face learning used in the form of electronic learning, often referred to as e-learning or online learning. In the process, online learning requires separate learning strategies and methods so that learning objectives can be maximally achieved.
Islamic education learning, while using online concepts, can use PBL learning strategies, guided inquiry, and CTL. In the process, schools can use applications that were already available before the Covid-19 pandemic, such as social media applications and learning applications, but some schools build their websites to carry out online learning. Only at the early childhood education level, Islamic Religious Education learning is not carried out online but guided learning by parents at home.  (Larassati, 2020).

Learning Media Used
Learning media is used in the form of e-learning (Yuliana, 2020). When introducing online learning (in the network), zoom-meeting media can be used, but not all students can take other moves by taking advantage of WhatsApp and using learning images. Online learning requires that SMP 1 teachers use technology to play their active role to enable online learning programs to operate smoothly amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The teacher of Islamic religious education discloses that he uses online media like Google forms and Google slides by online learning (W. Susanti, 2020 (Giyarsi, 2020).
The use of multimedia learning in the form of images and videos relevant to students' daily lives (Lubis & Yusri, 2020). The learning media used during online learning is the WhatsApp application, but in its use, students are assisted by parents; this is because students are not able to operate the WhatsApp application (Suntoro & Widoro, 2020

The Effectiveness of Islamic Education Learning During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Analysis of the results of this interview can be concluded that online learning media using Edmodo is considered effective for carrying out the online learning process during the Covid-19 pandemic (Larassati, 2020). The effectiveness of the use of e-learning as a learning medium at STMIK Prabumulih is good enough, but the user security system and the password used still need to be improved in order to provide security (Yuliana, 2020).
Online learning was not used sufficiently for the completeness of student learning.
In its application, there are still many hurdles. Just students with a strong desire to pursue, the rest are absent or submit only jobs but do not engage in online learning. Also, some students never attend and take up their jobs. Online learning is, therefore, not successful (W. Susanti, 2020). Based on the research results above, it cannot be concluded whether effective online learning has been implemented; more data is needed to draw these conclusions. Mainly because of the constraints faced during the learning process, so this cannot be concluded.

Challenges of Learning Islamic Education During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The responsibilities and challenges of parents in Islamic religious education through the family during the Covid-19 pandemic include taking an active role in the religious education and general education process. Secondly, be a role model in the family, in particular for its children. Third, make the best use of the advice, tales, incidents, or penalties in the 19th season. Fourthly, parents should prioritize their children's Islamic religious education content so that they can always abide by the standards of religious teaching in the exercise of life principles. Fifthly, in the Covid-19 pandemic, plans and methods should succeed in carrying out Islamic religious education in the family setting (Achmad, 2020b).
The emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic has indeed impacted the world of education, especially on interactions and learning patterns (Lubis & Yusri, 2020). The degradation of the morality of children, particularly in MA Muhammadiyah Nangahure, is the product of the lack of care by parents, the lack of affection, the lack of a religious understanding, poor environmental influences, and the interaction of peers who are not in line with the social norms. This often leads to students behaving out of reason (Fatiha & Nuwa, 2020).
The challenges faced during online learning are diverse, ranging from inadequate infrastructure; this also includes internet networks and quotas that burden parents. Religious Education Learning also serves as a moral shaper for students, so this will cause a moral deterioration in students.

CONCLUSIONS
Islamic Religious Education learning that is applied in schools from elementary to tertiary level uses online learning. Online learning is used to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus and maintain social distancing policies. The learning media used in Islamic Education learning vary according to their needs and needs, learning media in the form of social media, educational applications, to websites. The effectiveness of learning cannot be concluded because there is still a lack of articles that discuss it. The biggest challenge in learning Islamic education during the Covid-19 pandemic is in the form of decreasing student morale. It is necessary to find a special format for Islamic Education learning so that the values of Islamic Education learning are not reduced even though learning is still carried out online.
