Abstract

Strengthening religious character in early childhood requires systematic pedagogical instruments specifically structured monitoring tools that facilitate the transition from formal obedience to intrinsic habituation. This study aims to analyze the roles of the Ramadan checklist book as a monitoring medium in internalizing worship habits among first-grade students at SDIT Ar-Raayah. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with teachers and parents, and documentation. Subjects were selected using a purposive sampling technique involving 28 students and 7 key informants. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Results: The findings reveal that the Ramadan checklist book serves as a psychological reinforcement that triggers a shift from extrinsic motivation to a stable religious disposition (malakah). Students demonstrated high initiative in completing their worship records, which evolved into a sense of self-accountability and integrity (hayā’). This process indicates that worship has transitioned from a formal obligation into an internal spiritual necessity. The synergy between systematic monitoring and parental guidance through this checklist creates a solid educational ecosystem, ensuring the sustainable internalization of religious values in early childhood.
