This study aims to examine the implementation of the daily Salat Dhuha routine before classroom activities and its impact on the development of students’ religious character at SD Negeri 215 Bengkulu Utara. The academic concern driving this research lies in the limited exploration of routine worship practices as a character-building strategy within public elementary schools. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study involved teachers, the principal, and students as key informants. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed through data reduction, display, and verification. The findings reveal that the Salat Dhuha routine strengthens discipline, enhances worship consistency, fosters emotional calmness, and cultivates responsibility, all of which are reflected in students’ behaviors during the learning process. Teachers’ exemplary conduct, supportive school culture, and established habituation programs further contribute to the effectiveness of the initiative. Despite its strengths, the program faces challenges including students’ varying developmental levels, limited facilities, and the need for continuous teacher development. These findings highlight the importance of integrating religious practices into daily learning structures as a sustainable strategy for nurturing students’ spiritual and behavioral growth.
