Background: Moral education in modern Islamic boarding schools has an important role in shaping the character of students who are noble, disciplined, and independent. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the implementation of Panca Jiwa as a framework in moral education in modern Islamic boarding schools by examining the application of the values of the Soul of Sincerity, the Soul of Simplicity, the Soul of Independence, the Soul of Islamic Brotherhood, and the Soul of Freedom in the lives of students. Method: The research method used is qualitative descriptive with a phenomenological approach through observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and document studies. Result: The results of the study indicate that Panca Jiwa not only functions as an educational value, but also becomes a culture that inspires the social system in Islamic boarding schools. The implementation of these values is carried out through daily habits, exemplary teachers and kyai, as well as community and project-based education systems. Students who implement Panca Jiwa demonstrate greater discipline, independence, and social solidarity. However, this study also found that the main challenges in the internalization of Panca Jiwa are the influence of modern culture, globalization, and technological developments, which can shift the traditional values of Islamic boarding schools. Conclusion: This research has broad implications for the world of Islamic education. Islamic boarding schools need to develop more adaptive strategies, such as utilizing digital technology in character learning, as well as strengthening the role of teachers and kyai as primary role models. In addition, Panca Jiwa has the potential to become a model of character education that can be applied in Islamic schools and other educational institutions.
