<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the limited research on the use of storytelling about the lives of the Prophets in inculcating Islamic values in early childhood, despite its substantial influence on the formation of children’s akidah and akhlaq in the era of globalization. The study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the storytelling method using stories of the Prophets in instilling Islamic values in young children at TK ABA Bendosari. A qualitative case study design was employed, involving two teachers and one principal selected purposively. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, and were analyzed using an interactive analysis model. The findings show that the storytelling method is effective in instilling akidah values (for example, recognizing Allah and His attributes) and akhlaq values (honesty, patience, compassion) in children, as reflected in the emerging understanding and internalization of Islamic values in their daily behavior. These results underscore the importance of storytelling as an enjoyable and meaningful instructional strategy in early childhood education and provide recommendations for educators and PAUD institutions to optimize its implementation. The study also opens avenues for further research on innovations in storytelling media and the enhancement of parental involvement in the inculcation of Islamic values in children.]]>
