This community service program was initiated to strengthen religious habituation among children of the Madrasah Diniyah Awaliyah (MDA) in Jorong Baringin so that religious learning can develop into consistent daily and weekly practices. The Sunday morning religious learning program, known locally as didikan subuh, was selected because it combines congregational worship, Qur'anic learning, public speaking practice, discipline, and social interaction in a child-friendly setting. The program applied a participatory approach involving MDA children, teachers, mosque administrators, parents, community members, and KKN students. The stages consisted of initial observation, coordination with local stakeholders, activity planning, implementation of didikan subuh, mentoring, and evaluation. Activities included congregational Fajr prayer, Qur'an recitation, memorization of short surahs and daily prayers, children's short sermons, worship practice, and educational Islamic games. The activity indicated stronger child participation in religious activities, greater confidence in performing in front of peers, improved punctuality during the program, and growing community awareness of the need to continue the activity. The main contribution of this program is a simple, low-cost, and community-managed habituation model that can continue after the KKN period. Therefore, sustainable didikan subuh can serve as a practical strategy for empowering children by connecting MDA, family, mosque, and community roles in strengthening religious character from an early age.
