Orphans are a vulnerable group that often experiences various psychological problems due to the loss of parental figures. This loss affects not only their economic condition but also their emotional, social, and psychological development. Therefore, an educational approach is needed that focuses not only on academic achievement but also on character building and mental strengthening. This study aims to analyze the role of learning the stories of the prophets in fostering resilience and a positive self-concept among orphans at Al-Huda Orphanage, East Jakarta. The study employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that learning the stories of the prophets plays a significant role in enhancing children's resilience through the cultivation of values such as patience, optimism, courage, responsibility, and trust in God (tawakkul). Furthermore, the stories contribute to the development of a positive self-concept, as reflected in increased self-confidence, self-esteem, social interaction skills, and hope for the future. The stories of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph), Prophet Ayyub (Job), Prophet Musa (Moses), and Prophet Muhammad serve as the primary sources of inspiration in the character-building process of orphaned children. This study concludes that learning the stories of the prophets is an effective Islamic educational strategy for supporting the psychological and social development of orphans.
