Internalization of Spiritual Values Through the Practice of Mujahadah at SMK Al-Mu’allim Kesugihan

Abstract

This study aims to describe the internalization of spiritual values through the habituation of mujahadah activities at SMK Al-Mu’allim Kesugihan, a pesantren-based vocational school. Mujahadah is implemented as a distinctive and mandatory religious activity, complementing other routine practices such as the dhuha prayer. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The mujahadah activity is conducted every Thursday morning before the teaching and learning process for approximately 40 minutes, involving all students and teachers, and led by scheduled teachers. The activity consists of dhikr, tahlil or istighatsah, and collective prayers. The findings indicate that the habituation of mujahadah serves as an effort to reintroduce religious traditions that are increasingly rare in the community, particularly among younger generations. Through this activity, students are expected to be able to apply religious practices such as tahlil in their social environment. In addition, mujahadah has a positive impact on students’ character formation, especially in fostering discipline and religious practice skills, which are also considered in the final assessment of Islamic Religious Education and Character Education subjects.
