The background to this study stems from the fact that the implementation of religious habit forming activities still faces challenges, such as a lack of discipline amongst some pupils and limited supporting facilities. The aim of this study is to analyze the implementation of religious habituation in shaping the religious character of fifth-grade students and to describe their religious character specifically regarding aspects of worship practices, consequences, beliefs, religious knowledge, and experiences resulting from this habituation at SD Negeri Pagojengan 01. The research method employed was a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews and documentation, and was subsequently analysed through data collection, data reduction, data presentation and drawing of conclusions. Analysis results indicate that religious habituation is implemented in a scheduled, routine, consistent, and sustainable manner through morning dhikr, the recitation of the Asmaul Husna and short Quranic surahs, the recitation of prayer supplications, and the performance of Dhuha prayer. Students religious character is evident across several dimensions the practice of worship (through participation in religious activities and Dhuha prayer), behavioral consequences (demonstrated by discipline and responsibility), beliefs (reflected in an understanding of Allah as All Knowing and All Seeing, alongside the habit of prayer), religious knowledge (demonstrated by an understanding of the procedures and significance of worship), and lived experience (characterized by feelings of calmness, happiness, and well being after participating in these activities). Thus, consistent religious habituation accompanied by teacher guidance supports the strengthening of students religious character.
