Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of the family in fostering Islamic morals among adolescents in Mekarpohaci Village, Cilebar District, Karawang Regency. The research is based on the phenomenon of a moral decline among local youth, characterized by impolite behavior, lack of interest in worship, and minimal participation in religious activities. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, utilizing interviews, observations, and documentation involving parents and teenagers in their natural setting. The findings reveal that families play a crucial role as spiritual guides, moral role models, and directors of religious behavior. Supporting factors include parental awareness, consistent role modeling, a religious home environment, and active involvement. The main inhibiting factors are inconsistency, negative environmental influences, parental busyness, and weak two-way communication. The impact of family involvement is evident in improved worship habits, discipline, honesty, and the ability of teenagers to resist negative influences. However, the moral development process remains uneven and requires emotional and structural reinforcement.
