Religious character education is the core of the Islamic education system, especially in Islamic boarding schools. However, the rapid flow of modernization and low spiritual awareness are evident in the behavior of students, such as starting to neglect sunnah worship, and being easily influenced by practical lifestyles. This condition is a serious challenge, including at the Kebon Dalem Islamic Boarding School in Tanggungan Village. To address this challenge, this Islamic boarding school implements several strategies through the habit of praying Tahajud as a means of forming the religious character of students.
