<![CDATA[This study aims to describe and analyze efforts to foster students’ spirituality and religiosity through local wisdom embodied in the Kamis Jum’at Manis tradition at MA Nurul Hidayah Sumberrejo Paiton. The research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the principal, Islamic Religious Education teachers, religious activity coordinators, students, and community leaders. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through source, technique, and time triangulation, as well as member checking. The findings reveal that the Kamis Jum’at Manis tradition functions as an effective local wisdom-based educational medium for fostering students’ spirituality and religiosity. Activities such as the recitation of Surah Yasin, tahlil, dhikr, istighasah, collective prayers, and students’ active involvement in preparing the event contribute to enhancing worship awareness, strengthening spiritual closeness to Allah SWT, and developing habitual religious behavior. Furthermore, the tradition instills important character values, including mutual cooperation, responsibility, social awareness, solidarity, and respect for teachers and parents. The study demonstrates that the integration of Islamic values and local wisdom through the Kamis Jum’at Manis tradition not only strengthens students’ religious character but also serves as a means of preserving local culture in accordance with the objectives of Islamic education. Therefore, this tradition can be considered a model for strengthening students’ spirituality and religiosity through local wisdom-based educational practices in Islamic educational institutions.]]>
