Abstract
The formation of religious character in Islamic schools plays a crucial role in shaping young generations with noble morals, strong discipline, and resilience to face contemporary challenges on a solid spiritual foundation. One of the effective religious practices that supports this objective is the observance of the Sunnah fasting on Mondays and Thursdays. This fasting practice not only serves as a means of drawing closer to Allah SWT, but also contributes to building self-discipline, enhancing self-control, and fostering social sensitivity among students. By consistently implementing Sunnah fasting within the school environment, students can develop spiritual intelligence reflected in religious attitudes, while simultaneously strengthening brotherhood and care for others. Therefore, the Monday-Thursday fasting can be considered a strategic instrument in the internalization of Islamic values at Al Hikmah Senior High School, supporting the school’s vision to nurture students who excel in faith, knowledge, and righteous deeds.
