Abstract

This study examines character education at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah, with a focus on congregational dhuha prayer as a vehicle for moral formation among students. Character education plays a central role in cultivating students' integrity, discipline, and sense of responsibility. While devotional practices are widely regarded as effective in instilling Islamic values, empirical studies specifically addressing congregational dhuha prayer as a means of character formation in private madrasah ibtidaiyah remain scarce, warranting closer investigation. This research employs a qualitative case study approach. Data were gathered through observation, in-depth interviews, and document review. Research subjects included the madrasah principal, teachers, and students. Data analysis followed Miles and Huberman's interactive model, consisting of three iterative stages: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the routine practice of congregational dhuha prayer, conducted every Friday, positively shaped students' character in four key areas: (1) strengthening religious values and piety; (2) fostering discipline and responsibility; (3) nurturing a sense of togetherness and social awareness; and (4) establishing sustainable positive habits. This program is reinforced by teachers' active role as moral exemplars, a conducive madrasah environment, and the collective engagement of the entire school community. Theoretically, this study enriches the existing body of knowledge on worship-based character education at the madrasah ibtidaiyah level. Practically, the findings offer actionable guidance for other madrasas seeking to develop structured and sustainable character-building programs
