This community service program aimed to internalize the values of Suluah Adab through the implementation of daily prayers and Islamic manners for children at Jorong Pagadih Mudiak Mosque, Palupuah District. The program was designed in response to the decreasing role of community-based religious education in strengthening children's moral character. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed involving 20 children aged 7–12 years as participants. Supporting informants consisted of one mosque administrator, one Qur'anic teacher, and three parents. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, documentation, and evaluation of children's daily religious practices. The activities were conducted in six meetings using lectures, demonstrations, direct practice, mentoring, and habituation methods. The results indicated a significant improvement in children's understanding and practice of daily prayers and Islamic manners. The proportion of children able to recite mosque entrance prayers increased from 35% to 90%, mastery of daily prayers from 40% to 85%, respectful behavior toward elders from 50% to 90%, and discipline in congregational prayers from 45% to 80%. The program also strengthened children's confidence and enthusiasm in practicing Islamic etiquette in daily life. This community service contributes a practical model for strengthening children's religious character through mosque-based habituation integrated with local wisdom values. The findings suggest that mosque-based character education can become a sustainable strategy for empowering children within the community.
