<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the revitalization of religious culture as a strategy for character building among students at MA Mambaul Ulum Paiton in facing the challenges of the Society 5.0 era. The focus of the research is directed at how religious values are internalized within school life, the role of educational actors in this process, and its impact on shaping students’ attitudes and behavior. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies involving the principal, teachers, homeroom teachers, and students as the main informants. The data were analyzed using interactive analysis techniques, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the revitalization of religious culture plays a significant role in shaping students’ character through the integration of religious values into learning activities and daily school life. Religious culture functions not merely as a normative symbol but develops into a value system that fosters students’ discipline, responsibility, and moral awareness. The success of this process is supported by the exemplary conduct of school actors, consistency in habituation practices, and adaptation to technological developments without abandoning religious values. These findings imply that strengthening students’ character in the Society 5.0 era requires a holistic approach that integrates religious culture with social and technological dynamics. This study is expected to serve as a reference for educational institutions in designing contextual and sustainable character-building strategies.]]>
