Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of Dhuha prayer, religious character building, and their correlation at MTs Darul Ulum Lempuyang Bandar Village, Central Lampung. Morning religious programs faced initial student attitude variations, requiring in-depth qualitative analysis. This descriptive study gathered data through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation with the principal, teachers, and students. Interactive data analysis included data reduction, display, and verification with source triangulation. Results indicate Dhuha prayer runs consistently from 07.15 to 07.45 WIB, involving ablution, congregational prayer, remembrance, and short lectures. Students' religious characters are built through discipline, honesty, responsibility, noble morals, and obedience. Positive relationships foster mental calmness, learning concentration, and active parentschool synergy. In conclusion, morning prayer routines serve as an applicable, transparent, and sustainable character education strategy.
