<![CDATA[Abstract. Student engagement is a crucial factor in the success of Islamic Religious Education (PAI), yet many students still face challenges such as low self-confidence and shyness, particularly in religious habituation programs. This study aims to describe the strategies used by PAI teachers to strengthen student activity through the Spiritual Friday Program at SDN 256 Cigondewah Hilir, Bandung. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through interviews with PAI teachers, the principal, homeroom teachers, and students, as well as through direct observation and documentation. The results indicate: (1) teacher preparation involves systematic planning, task division based on student ability, and initial coaching; (2) implementation steps include providing direct involvement, a rotation system for roles, and continuous motivation; (3) the primary obstacles are students' lack of self-confidence and the large number of participants, while efforts to overcome these include intensive mentoring and appreciation. Evaluation shows a positive impact on students' courage, responsibility, and active participation in religious activities. Abstrak.
