This study aims to determine the communication styles of caregivers in instilling Islamic communication values in foster children at the Amaliyah orphanage. This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation and in-depth interviews with caregivers as research informants. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that the communication styles used by caregivers in instilling Islamic communication values include asertif and persuasive communication styles. The inculcation of Islamic communication values is carried out through giving advice, role modeling, habituation, and direct interpersonal communication in daily activities. The Islamic communication values instilled include qaulan sadida, qaulan ma’rufa, qaulan layyina, and qaulan karima. In the process, supporting factors in instilling Islamic communication values include a religious environment, emotional closeness between caregivers and foster children, and routine coaching activities. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors generally arise due to differences in each child’s character and diverse backgrounds. This study concludes that communication style plays an important role in instilling Islamic communication values in foster children. With the appropriate application of communication styles, the guidance process can run effectively and have a positive impact on the development of morals and communication attitudes of foster children.
