<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Social changes occurring amid digitalization and globalization present challenges for schools in consistently fostering students’ religious character. The habituation of religious activities can serve as an educational space that connects learned values with behaviors practiced in everyday life. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Juz Amma reading habituation program, identify its supporting and inhibiting factors, and analyze its contribution to the development of students’ religious character at SMP Negeri 1 Puri Mojokerto. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving the principal, Islamic Religious Education teacher, vice principal for student affairs, guidance and counseling teacher, and 11 students selected randomly. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed through data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing using source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that the activity was conducted every Thursday before lessons, involving students and teachers. Its implementation was supported by school commitment, teacher role modeling, a religious school culture, and student participation, while the obstacles involved differences in Qur’an reading ability, motivation, student preparedness, and limited time. The habituation contributed to strengthening discipline, responsibility, politeness, awareness of worship, and students’ religious behavior.

Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan pelaksanaan pembiasaan membaca Juz Amma, mengidentifikasi faktor pendukung dan penghambat, serta menganalisis kontribusinya terhadap pembentukan karakter religius peserta didik di SMP Negeri 1 Puri Mojokerto. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan informan kepala sekolah, guru Pendidikan Agama Islam, wakil kepala sekolah bidang kesiswaan, guru bimbingan dan konseling, serta 11 peserta didik yang dipilih secara acak.
