<![CDATA[The Community Service Program (KKN) serves as a tangible expression of students’ dedication to the community, with the goal of helping to address various issues faced by the community, including those related to religious education. Based on observations in Jorong Pematang Panjang, Nagari Sitanang, it was found that the “Didikan Subuh” (Dawn Education) program for children at the Al-Qur’an Education Center (TPA) has been conducted without a standardized written guide. This situation has resulted in the delivery of instructional material being less systematic and heavily reliant on the initiative and creativity of individual instructors. In response to this issue, this project was designed to produce a “Didikan Subuh” guidebook to support the improvement of the quality of religious education for TPA children in the area. The activity was carried out during the Community Service Program (KKN) in June–July 2026 using a participatory approach based on the partners’ needs. The process of compiling the guidebook involved several stages, including direct field observations, interviews with TPA instructors and local community leaders, a review of various literature sources, and the development of materials tailored to the children’s characteristics and comprehension levels. The contents of this guidebook include instructions on how to perform acts of worship, memorization of prayers and short chapters of the Quran, the names of the prophets and messengers along with their missions, the names of the angels along with their duties, and the Pillars of Faith and the Pillars of Islam. The results of the activity show that a guidebook was successfully compiled, printed, distributed, and used during the Didikan Subuh sessions. During the initial use of the book, the children in attendance responded positively to it, including by following the instruction and practicing the material contained within. Umi also responded positively and stated that the book helped provide a written reference for the activities. These findings serve as evidence of the product’s initial adoption and acceptance, not as evidence of improved learning outcomes or participation, since the activities did not utilize baselines, tests, or quantitative measurements. The guidebook has the potential to support consistent implementation of the “Didikan Subuh” program, and its use should be monitored in the coming period.]]>
