<![CDATA[This study aims to describe the habitual practice of infaq and sodaqoh as a means of instilling empathy in early childhood at TK Nurul Iman, Carenang District, Serang Regency. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the principal, teachers, parents, and children. The findings show that empathy among children aged 4–5 years developed progressively, although not uniformly. Children began to demonstrate caring behaviors through sharing food, lending learning materials, helping friends, and participating in infaq and sodaqoh activities. Infaq was routinely conducted every Friday, while sodaqoh was practiced through sharing food, belongings, and assistance with people in need. Teachers strengthened the habit through modeling, reinforcement, praise, and guidance, while parents supported its continuity at home. The consistency of the activities and children's direct experience of giving were important in developing social awareness. The study indicates that habitual infaq and sodaqoh can integrate religious and social-emotional values in early childhood education.]]>
