<![CDATA[The will (al-irādah) is a fundamental element in Islamic educational psychology that functions as a driving force for behavior, learning motivation, and self-control among students. In the Islamic perspective, will is not merely understood as a psychological impulse, but as a spiritual potential integrated with reason and the heart in shaping human choices and moral responsibility. This study aims to analyze the function of the will in Islamic educational psychology and its relevance to students’ character formation. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method through library research by examining the Qur’an, Hadith, and relevant literature on psychology and Islamic education. The findings indicate that the will plays a strategic role in directing learning behavior, strengthening self-discipline, and fostering students’ moral and spiritual commitment.
