<![CDATA[Understanding fiqh of worship is essential for students to perform religious practices correctly, especially prayer. However, some students achieve good written examination results but still struggle to perform prayer properly. This study aims to examine students’ understanding of fiqh of worship, their prayer practice skills, and the relationship between these two variables. The research used a quantitative method involving 30 seventh-grade students from class VII.2 at MTs Al-Ikhlas Tanjung Sakti Pumi, Lahat Regency. The results showed that students’ understanding of fiqh of worship was categorized as high for 20% of students, moderate for 77%, and low for 3%. Regarding prayer practice skills, 26% of students were in the high category, 71% in the moderate category, and 3% in the low category. The correlation analysis produced a calculated r-value of 0.592, which exceeded the critical r-value of 0.361. These findings indicate a positive and significant relationship between students’ understanding of fiqh of worship and their ability to practice prayer. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis was accepted, while the null hypothesis was rejected. The study concludes that better understanding of fiqh of worship is associated with stronger prayer practice skills among seventh-grade students. These findings highlight the importance of combining theoretical instruction with practical prayer exercises to strengthen students’ religious knowledge and worship skills.]]>
