<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the role of the Aswaja (Ahlussunnah Wal Jama’ah) subject in preserving the values of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) traditions among students at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) Tambakberas Jombang. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving Aswaja teachers, students, and school administrators as research informants. The data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the Aswaja subject plays an important role in strengthening students’ religious understanding based on the teachings of Ahlussunnah Wal Jama’ah within the Nahdlatul Ulama tradition. The learning process not only provides conceptual knowledge of Aswaja principles but also facilitates the internalization of NU religious traditions through the integration of theoretical learning and religious practices such as tahlil, istighosah, maulid recitation, tawassul, and grave pilgrimage. The success of this value preservation is supported by the pesantren environment and the historical influence of KH. Abdul Wahab Hasbullah as an ideological inspiration. However, several challenges were identified, including limited instructional time, limited learning media, and diverse ideological backgrounds of students.]]>
