<![CDATA[This community service program was driven by the critical gap in religious empowerment at Mushalla Nurul Ihsan, Kampuang Tabu, Nagari Sipinang, Palembayan District, marked by the lack of young cadres in Fardhu Kifayah management and unorganized early childhood religious guidance. This study aimed to enhance theoretical and practical skills in Islamic funeral rites among youth while building early childhood religious foundation. Using the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, the intervention involved 30 youth/community members and 25 early childhood participants over two months through interactive lectures, practical simulations, and gamified worship training. Quantitative evaluation using pre-test and post-test instruments showed a significant increase in theoretical understanding (+32.5%), funeral rites practical skills (+35.0%), and early childhood worship fluency (+36.0%). Qualitatively, the program fostered youth confidence and formed daily worship habits in children. The explicit contribution of this initiative lies in establishing an intergenerational community-based religious education model that effectively transforms local places of worship into sustainable educational hubs. In conclusion, the ABCD approach combined with practical simulation successfully resolved the regeneration crisis of funeral administrators and strengthened religious character at the rural community level.]]>
