<![CDATA[Education is not only oriented toward academic achievement but also aims to shape students' religious character as a foundation for daily life. One effort schools can undertake to build religious character is through a Qur'anic literacy program, namely the habitual practice of reading and understanding the Qur'an on a regular basis. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Qur'anic literacy program as an effort to shape the religious character of students at SMAN 15 Surabaya. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers and students selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification, while data validity was established through source and technique triangulation. The results show that the Qur'anic literacy program at SMAN 15 Surabaya is carried out routinely every Monday to Friday from 06.50 to 07.00 WIB prior to effective learning, involving PAI teachers as facilitators and the Islamic Spiritual Section (SKI) as the activity's scheduling coordinator. The consistent habituation of Qur'an reading has been shown to positively impact students' religious character formation, reflected in increased discipline in religious activities, growing awareness to read the Qur'an independently, and the formation of more orderly worship habits. However, the program's implementation still faces challenges, including students' tardiness, uneven Qur'an reading proficiency, and less conducive classroom conditions. This study concludes that the Qur'anic literacy program serves as an effective strategy for shaping students' religious character through a consistent and sustainable habituation approach.]]>
