<![CDATA[Islamic Religious Education at the elementary school level plays an important role in shaping students’ understanding and practice of worship, particularly in performing prayers. However, there is still a gap between the theoretical understanding and practical performance of prayer among students and the community surrounding SDN 22 Koto III Aur Malintang. This activity aimed to improve students’ understanding and practical prayer skills through a community service program based on Participatory Action Research. The activity was conducted over six weeks from July to August 2026, involving 20 fourth- to sixth-grade students, 5 Islamic Religious Education teachers, and 15 community leaders. The activities included practical training, direct demonstrations, intensive mentoring, and the establishment of prayer guidance groups. Evaluation was conducted using pre-tests, post-tests, observation sheets, and community feedback. The results showed an increase in students’ understanding scores from 58% to 83%, with an average improvement of 24%. Three student prayer guidance groups were established and operated independently, and learning media in the form of observation sheets, modules, and educational videos were produced. This activity contributes to the long-term improvement of the quality of Islamic Religious Education and the formation of a prayer-worship habitus within the school and nagari environment.]]>
