<![CDATA[Ramadan, as the sacred month in the Islamic calendar, holds strategic momentum for fostering students' spiritual and social development. The pesantren Ramadan program—commonly implemented in Islamic schools—has traditionally focused on cognitive religious education, such as lectures and memorization. However, this approach often lacks meaningful real-life applications, leading to limited impact on students’ character development. Service Learning (SL) emerges as a transformative educational model that integrates academic instruction with community service, offering students direct engagement with societal needs while internalizing religious values. This study explores the integration of SL into Pesantren Ramadan as a method to enhance students' spiritual, social, and moderate (tawasuth) values. Conducted through a community-based participatory framework, the program centres on local settings such as schools, mosques, and surrounding neighborhoods, emphasizing contextually relevant interventions. The findings suggest that when Pesantren Ramadan activities are designed around SL principles, students demonstrate increased empathy, responsibility, and the ability to apply Islamic teachings in real-life situations. This integrative approach not only strengthens character education but also ensures the sustainability of religious moderation in plural societies.]]>
