This study explores the role of moral literacy in developing the religious character of children aged 5–6 years at Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal (ABA) Kindergarten in Pangkalan Kerinci. Using a qualitative approach, the research involved 9 participants: 1 principal, 3 teachers, and 5 parents. Data collection was conducted through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results show that moral literacy significantly contributes to shaping children's religious character through several literacy activities, including Duha prayer practice, infak and almsgiving, etiquette in daily behavior, respectful communication, helping others, and murajaah—the memorization and review of short surahs and hadiths. These practices are integrated into the school’s curriculum, which follows the ISMUBA framework (Al-Islam, Kemuhammadiyahan, and Arabic). Through routine implementation, these moral literacy programs instill values such as piety, discipline, compassion, and respect in young children. The findings indicate that children are becoming increasingly familiar with religious practices, demonstrating improved behavior and spiritual awareness. Overall, the study concludes that moral literacy serves as a foundational tool in early childhood education for fostering religious values. When consistently applied, these activities effectively support the formation of a strong religious character in children, aligning with the educational goals of Islamic-based early childhood institutions.
