Noble character education is the main goal of Islamic education. This research aims to describe the methodology of noble character formation strategy based on the book Ar-Rasul al-Mu’allim wa Asalibuhu fi al-Ta’lim by Sheikh Abdul Fattah Abu Ghuddah for grade IX students at Daarul Istiqlal Islamic Boarding School Medan, as well as to analyze the challenges and supporting factors in its implementation. This research used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and questionnaires distributed to grade IX students. The results of the study show that there are four main strategies from the book implemented in the boarding school, namely: 1) Uswatun Hasanah / Exemplary Model, 2) at-Targhib wa at-Tarhib / Motivation and Warning, 3) al-Hiwar wa Su’al wa Jawab / Dialogue and Question-Answer, 4) al-Qisas / Storytelling. These four strategies proved to be effective in shaping the students’ morals. Based on the results of interviews, observations, and questionnaires, the Uswatun Hasanah and al-Qisas strategies are the most preferred and easily understood by the students. The challenges faced are the consistency of the ustadz in providing good examples and the influence of the home environment during holidays. Meanwhile, the supporting factors are the commitment of the boarding school leadership and good synergy with the students’ parents.
