PENERAPAN PROGRAM SHOLAT DHUHA DALAM MEMBENTUK AKHLAK SISWA SMA MUHAMMADIYAH KOTA PAGARALAM

Abstract

The implementation of the Dhuha prayer program at Muhammadiyah High School in Pagaralam City aims to introduce sunnah worship, instill discipline, and shape students' morals comprehensively amidst the moral degradation challenges of the modern era. This field research utilizes a descriptive qualitative method to provide an in-depth analysis of the phenomenon. Data were collected through non-participant observation (specifically during the "Sabtu Ceria" program), in-depth purposive interviews with two key informants and comprehensive documentation. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results indicate that the Dhuha prayer routine effectively shapes students to be more disciplined, polite, and respectful towards teachers, while significantly reducing negative behaviors such as peer bullying. This routine acts as a habituation mechanism that internalizes time management and as a riyadhah that trains self-control and suppresses adolescent ego. The gratitude aspect of the prayer fosters empathy and contentment. The main supporting factors are the robust synergy among the principal, teachers, parents, and the availability of mosque facilities. Obstacles, such as a lack of discipline among a few students and external factors like traffic, are managed through persuasive, educational approaches rather than corporal punishment. Teachers play as instructors, but as holistic role models and facilitators in cultivating noble morals.
