Abstract

Problems in instilling Islamic values at Al-Mukaromah TPA in Timbang Village involved less interactive learning methods, differences in children's levels of understanding, and a lack of parental attention. These issues resulted in less effective teaching and limited understanding of religious values among children. Parents had not carried out their roles optimally in their children's religious education. This research used qualitative methods with SOAR (Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, Results) analysis, involving 42 children (22 boys and 20 girls) at Al-Mukaromah TPA. The Real Work Lecture Program (KKN) from Muhammadiyah Kuningan University, which lasted for 40 days, aimed to instill basic Islamic values through teaching fiqh. The program focused on implementing effective teaching methods, encouraging active student participation, and collaborating with TPA managers. Identified opportunities included curriculum development, increased parental involvement, and program expansion. The program aimed to enhance understanding and practice of prayer, build positive habits, and boost community engagement. The results showed an increase in children's knowledge and practice of prayer, positive feedback from children and parents, and productive student involvement. The program succeeded in improving children's understanding and practice of prayer and involving the community in supporting religious education, but it needed to continuously update methods and curriculum to align with current developments and the needs of the children.
