<![CDATA[This study analyzes tarbiyah yaumiyah program implementation strategies in developing khuluqin 'adzim among students at SMP IT Insan Madani Palopo, addressing the need for systematic Islamic character education models. Qualitative research using Yin's single case study design with participatory observation, in-depth interviews with the principal, two teachers, and six students, plus curriculum documentation analysis. Data analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña's interactive model with triangulation validation. The implementation strategy includes differentiated methods, a tiered halaqah system with 21 Qur'an teachers, 3 juz memorization targets spanning over 3 years, and multi-level evaluation from tashih to public munaqasyah. The tarbiyah yaumiyah program effectively transformed student character through systematic spiritual habituation, showing concrete behavioral improvements in worship consistency, adab enhancement, and increased independence. Research contributes three theoretical concepts: "excellence modeling" beyond conventional role modeling, formalized muhasabah through mutaba'ah systems, and cross-domain character transfer mechanisms. The originality of this study lies in bridging classical Islamic pedagogical theory (akhlaq framework) with contemporary character education practice through empirical documentation of murāqabah-based evaluation systems, providing a theoretical synthesis rarely explored in Indonesian Islamic education research. Study limitations include a single-institution focus in a developing region context with limited technological resources and a three-year observation period, which may limit generalizability to urban settings or short-term implementation contexts. Findings provide replicable models for Islamic institutions and support the achievement of SDGs 4 and 16 through inclusive character education approaches.]]>
