<![CDATA[*Islam Nusantara* represents a peaceful and tolerant form of Islam that steadfastly upholds *Aswaja* (Ahlussunnah wal Jama'ah) values while preserving indigenous *Nusantara* traditions that do not conflict with Islamic principles. Consequently, *Islam Nusantara* must be upheld to confront global challenges and radical ideologies that operate in the name of religion. A strategic avenue for preserving these traditional *Islam Nusantara* values is education—specifically, by introducing these traditions to the Muslim generation through programs that foster the habitual practice of Islam Nusantara customs within educational institutions, as education is a process capable of shaping human character. The concept of "habituation" refers to activities performed repeatedly in daily life; the implementation of such programs aims to cultivate good character in students and ensure they remain steadfast in Aswaja values, while also shielding them from global challenges and religiously-cloaked radical ideologies. Madrasah Aliyah Putri Ma'arif Ponorogo is one educational institution that has adopted Islam Nusantara (Aswaja) practices as part of its habituation program. Specific implementations of this program at the school include Shalawat Mahalul Qiyam, congregational Dhikr (remembrance of God), and *Istighotsah* (collective supplication for relief). These initiatives aim to instill Aswaja values in students and foster a religious character that is resilient against the influence of radical ideologies.]]>
