<![CDATA[Background. Islamic Religious Education (PAI) plays a vital role in developing students’ moral character, discipline, mental strength, and resilience. However, the application of PAI values as part of the process of fostering athletic achievement particularly for student pencak silat athletes has not yet been fully realized. Purpose. This study aims to examine the implementation of Islamic Education (PAI) in pencak silat training activities, identify various conditions that serve as supporting factors or obstacles to its implementation, and understand the contribution of Islamic values to the development of achievement motivation among student athletes at the Yatuna Jakarta Pencak Silat Martial Arts Club. Method. The approach used was a qualitative descriptive study with a case study design. The sources of information for the study consisted of club officials, coaches, student athletes, and parents, who were selected based on purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and a review of documentation, while the validity of the information was reinforced through a process of triangulation. Results. Research findings show that Islamic Education (PAI) values have become an integral part of the training culture through the practice of praying before and after training, performing the daily prayers, reciting and reviewing the Qur’an, periodically completing a full recitation of the Qur’an, providing religious guidance, and fostering an attitude of respect and proper conduct toward coaches, parents, seniors, and fellow athletes. Conclusion. Athletes are not merely guided to achieve victory or win medals; they are also encouraged to view their achievements as an expression of responsibility, gratitude, and devotion; as a means of developing their potential; and as a way to bring honor to their families and institutions.]]>
