PEMBIASAAN MEMBACA ASMAUL HUSNA UNTUK MEMBENTUK KARAKTER RELIGIUS ANAK DI TK ALAM WANATANI

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Asmaul Husana recitation habit in shaping the religious character of children at Alam Wanatani Kindergarten. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study involved children in groups A and B aged 4–6 years. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the Asmaul Husana recitation habit was implemented every morning before class using the Kinesthetic Musical Learning method, which combines auditory, visual, and kinesthetic elements through songs and symbolic movements. Teachers acted as role models and facilitators in explaining the meaning of God's attributes contextually. This internalization process successfully transformed memorization into spiritual understanding that triggered positive behaviors such as honesty, discipline, responsibility, and empathy. Approximately 85% of children experienced excellent religious character development. Synergy between teachers and parents is a key supporting factor in the sustainability of religious values ​​both at school and at home. It can be concluded that the Asmaul Husana recitation habit is effective in supporting the formation of religious character in early childhood.
