Islamic Religious Education plays a strategic role in shaping character, strengthening religious moderation, and supporting the spiritual and moral development of children from an early age in Indonesia. This study aims to analyse the influence of Islamic Religious Education on childrens worship abilities and the formation of religious character in early childhood. The research employs a correlational quantitative design with a sample of 65 students. Data were collected via questionnaires administered to parents and analysed using SmartPLS, which included validity and reliability tests, as well as tests of the significance of relationships between variables. The results show that the implementation of Islamic Religious Education has a positive and significant effect on childrens worship abilities, with an estimated influence of 0.386. An increase in the Islamic Religious Education Implementation (IIRE) has been proven to improve childrens skills in worship practices, such as reading Iqra, performing salawat, azan, dhikr, and wudu, with a t-statistic value of 4.197 and a p-value of 0.000. Regular religious activities at school not only impart knowledge but also familiarise children with the practical aspects of worship. With a standard deviation of 0.092, children become more confident, skilled, and spiritually disciplined, resulting in a significant improvement in their worship abilities at home. The conclusion is that the implementation of Islamic Religious Education significantly enhances childrens worship abilities, builds practical skills, spiritual discipline, and self-confidence from an early age.

Conclusion

The research confirms that increased implementation of Islamic Religious Education (IIRE) significantly enhances childrens worship abilities (CWA).This indicates that religious education in schools positively influences both theoretical understanding and practical worship skills at home.Through systematic religious practices like reading Iqra, performing wudu, and reciting prayers, children develop confidence, skill, and spiritual discipline, strengthening the connection between formal education and daily spiritual practice.

Future Research

Further research could explore the long-term effects of early Islamic Religious Education on the development of religious identity and moral reasoning in adolescents and adults. Additionally, studies could investigate the effectiveness of different pedagogical approaches in Islamic Religious Education, such as incorporating technology or experiential learning, to enhance childrens engagement and understanding. Finally, research is needed to examine the role of parental involvement and family religious practices in reinforcing the positive effects of school-based Islamic Religious Education on childrens worship abilities and overall spiritual development, considering the diverse socio-cultural contexts within Indonesia. These investigations will contribute to a more nuanced understanding of how Islamic education can effectively nurture the holistic development of children, fostering not only religious competence but also strong moral character and a deep connection to their faith.
