The results show that the effectiveness of character education is influenced by visionary principal leadership, integration of Islamic values in the curriculum, strengthening Islamic culture in the school environment, as well as active involvement of parents and the community. In addition, continuous evaluation using observation, self-reflection and digital technology plays a role in improving the success of character education programmes. The conclusion of this study emphasises the importance of a holistic approach in Islam-based character education.
