Optimalisasi Pelaksanaan Sholat Dhuha Bersama sebagai Upaya Pembinaan Karakter Spiritual Siswa di SMPN 1 Sukahening

Abstract

This article discusses the implementation of Dhuha prayer together at school as a form of spirituality-based character education. Dhuha prayer is a sunnah prayer that is carried out in the morning after the sun begins to rise until before entering the Dhuhur prayer time. The implementation of this worship has various benefits, including increasing the spirituality and discipline of students. This research was conducted at SMPN 1 Sukahening, Tasikmalaya Regency, and aims to find out how the implementation of Dhuha prayer together in schools can help shape students' positive character, improve discipline, and instill important religious values in daily life. The implementation of Dhuha prayer together at school is usually carried out in a structured manner, starting with a briefing by the teacher, the implementation of congregational prayers, and ending with prayer and a brief reflection on the wisdom of Dhuha prayer. The results of the study show that the regular implementation of Dhuha prayers is able to create a more conducive school environment. Students who actively participate in this activity tend to show improvement in discipline, have a higher sense of responsibility, and show respect for others. In addition, this habit strengthens students' spiritual relationship with Allah SWT and forms a solid religious character. This article recommends that schools continue to intensify the joint worship program as part of student character development. Support from teachers and school management is needed to ensure the sustainability of this activity, so that the benefits can be felt to the maximum by the entire school community.
