This study aims to analyze the implementation of adab education in improving students’ learning achievement in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) at Ar Risalah Integrated Islamic Junior High School, Sukoharjo. The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design to explore how adab-based educational values are integrated into the learning process and their contribution to students’ academic achievement and character development. The study was conducted with a sample of 30 students selected purposively, along with supporting information obtained from teachers and school documentation. The data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and documentation of students’ academic records. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing to ensure the validity and reliability of the findings through triangulation of sources and techniques. The research focused on identifying the forms of adab education implemented in the learning process, including respect for teachers, discipline in learning, ethical classroom interaction, and the cultivation of Islamic moral values. The findings indicate that the implementation of adab education significantly contributes to the improvement of students’ learning achievement in Islamic Religious Education. From the total sample of 30 students, 76.7% demonstrated high learning achievement after the integration of adab education in classroom activities, 16.7% showed moderate improvement, while only 6.6% remained in the lower achievement category. These results suggest that the systematic integration of adab values into the learning process fosters a positive learning environment, enhances students’ motivation, and strengthens their academic performance as well as their moral character. Therefore, the implementation of adab education can serve as an effective pedagogical strategy in strengthening both cognitive and affective aspects of Islamic Religious Education learning
