Education is a conscious and planned effort to realize learningAi environment and learning process (Arif. Nurdin, & Elya, 2. To achieve the principle of organizing education which includes the development of abilities and the formation of character and dignified national civilization to educate the life of the nation, the implementation of education must be by these goals. Literature Review 1 Spiritual Quotient (SQ) The spiritual quotient is made up of two words: "intelligence" and "spiritual. Intelligence can be defined as an individual's ability to handle various problems, especially those that require thinking skills (Kane & Jacobs, 2010. Singh. Upadhyay. Mishra, & Grewal. Experts' views on intelligence vary, depending on their respective hypotheses and perspectives. In addition, intelligence also includes the capacity to learn, the ability to face new situations, and other related aspects (Deary et al. Howard, 1. In Arabic, the term for intelligence is al-adzka, meaning understanding, perfection of something, and speed. Meanwhile, in English, intelligence is called intelligence, which refers to the . l-qudra. something accurately and thoroughly. Intelligence is also defined as an individual's ability to plan actions, think strategically, and organize and manage (Mohammdi & Elbourhamy, 2. From a linguistic perspective, intelligence refers to the ability or trait of being intelligent, while spiritual refers to something related to the mental, spiritual, or inner aspects (Kamaluddin. Adawiyah, & Rusdin, 2. Thus, terminologically, spiritual intelligence can be defined as an ability related to the spiritual and inner, which includes concern for fellow human beings, other living creatures, and the environment, which is based on the belief in the existence of God Almighty. The characteristics of spiritual intelligence include: Flexible Ability in life characterizes a person who has high spiritual intelligence or can be flexible in facing problems (Pacharn. Bay, & Felton. A flexible person like this can easily adapt to various situations and High level of awareness People with high levels of selfawareness have a deep understanding of themselves (Morin, 2. This ability makes it easier to control themselves in various situations and conditions, including managing emotions. Ability to Face Suffering When faced with suffering, humans will generally complain, be annoyed, angry or even despair. However, people e-ISSN: 2715-4572 p-ISSN: 2716-1439 International Journal of Contemporary Islamic Education Vol. 6 No. 2 Tahun 2024 with good spiritual intelligence will be able to deal with suffering well. Ability to Face Fear A person with a high level of spiritual intelligence can manage and deal with fear well. They tend to face various situations with patience, which often reflects courage in facing life's This ability arises because spiritual intelligence provides a solid foundation in their inner beliefs. Spiritual intelligence is the highest ability possessed by an individual (Vaughan, 2. who can effectively function intellectually and emotionally through a sense of love and affection for others because of their piety towards Allah SWT. In Islamic terminology, it can be said that SQ is intelligence that is based on the heart. This heart is actually the control center for all movements of the human body. It is the king of all other body parts. All human activities are under its control. If this heart is good, then the movements and activities of other body parts will also be good. One of the keys to spiritual intelligence is in the heart. Then respond to the whispers of conscience by empowering and directing all the potential of the heart, namely fuad, sadr, and hawa. A spiritually intelligent person will show a sense of responsibility by orienting themselves towards policies or high-achieving deeds. The term qalbiyah intelligence uses a number of self-abilities appropriately and perfectly to recognize the heart and its activities, manage and express the types of heart correctly, and motivate the heart to foster morality in relationships with others and ubudiyah relationships with Allah. Spiritual is a dimension that seems vast, untouchable, and far beyond because God, in the sense of the Almighty, is an object in a metaphysical and transcendent system, so that it simultaneously necessitates mystical and supra-rational nuances. Sayyed Hossein Nasr defines spirituality as "a sacred " This meaning was then introduced by all religious thinkers . in "understanding the meaning of belief in their social context. So, to be precise, spirituality is assumed not in its discursive sense, at home or inside, but is reflected in its social This also shows the claim that all human social behavior is certainly also colored by "sacred experience," and that is its spirituality. Spiritual intelligence measurement allows an assessment of a person's morals based on their level of spiritual The measurement results show that the higher the level of faith and devotion of an individual, the better their character or morals, which goes hand in Thus, the individual will Therefore, spiritual intelligence plays a role in forming noble morals and a noble Spiritual intelligence is becoming a trend in Indonesia, as seen from changes in the curriculum system. In the previous curriculum (KTSP), the focus of competency development only covered three aspects, namely cognitive, affective, e-ISSN: 2715-4572 p-ISSN: 2716-1439 International Journal of Contemporary Islamic Education Vol. 6 No. 2 Tahun 2024 and psychomotor. However, spiritual competency is added in the 2013 curriculum (K-. , which is even considered the highest competency. This change was triggered by the concern of society and government regarding the decline in children's morals. Although they have knowledge, many are lacking in attitude and character. Therefore, spiritual intelligence is considered very important to support the optimal development of reason and character. Spiritual intelligence can be developed through education in a positive environment and upholding religious values, such as in Islamic boarding schools. The emergence of modern Islamic boarding school education is a response to the era's challenges that are increasingly developing in the fields of science, technology, and communication. Modern Islamic boarding schools are a form of adaptation to the contemporary sciences taught but still maintain the main focus on religious education as its main goal. In terms of leadership, modern Islamic boarding schools are no longer entirely dependent on the figure of the kyai alone, but have shifted towards a more rational leadership However, the culture of humility, which is a characteristic of Islamic boarding school education, is still maintained and preserved. The Relationship between Spiritual Intelligence and Disciplined Attitude Islamic boarding schools have implemented A synergistic education system by integrating a framework based on customs and culture. With the implementation of this system, it is hoped that there will be continuity between training in schools. Islamic life experiences, and the needs of the modern work world. In the Islamic boarding school environment, the values of spiritual intelligence are instilled through strengthening, and religious learning. The relationship between spiritual intelligence and discipline is reflected in the students' compliance with a structured daily schedule, such as performing congregational prayers, reciting the Koran, and learning activities (Askar. Adawiyah, & Nurdin, 2021. Handayani & Nurdin, 2. These values develop a sense of responsibility and awareness of the importance of living an orderly life. Spiritual intelligence is important in forming a disciplined attitude, especially in the Islamic boarding school Students with high spiritual intelligence tend to understand discipline as part of worship and devotion to God. Research shows that individuals with a good level of spiritual intelligence can control themselves, respect rules, and have a high sense of responsibility for their duties. The purpose of forming a disciplined attitude is to prepare children to understand the values of goodness as provisions for entering adulthood so that they can live a happy, successful, and loving life. Establishing discipline in children should start as early as possible, although this approach can face e-ISSN: 2715-4572 p-ISSN: 2716-1439 International Journal of Contemporary Islamic Education Vol. 6 No. 2 Tahun 2024 challenges due to differences in family background and character of each Spiritual intelligence plays a vital role in helping students face conflicts or challenges, for example, by showing patience and wisdom in decisionmaking. The disciplined attitude that develops through spiritual intelligence is useful during education at the Islamic boarding school and becomes valuable capital in social life. Spiritual intelligence understanding moral values, and acting Discipline, reflected in compliance with regulations, consistency in acting, and responsibility for tasks, is the result of the influence of spiritual intelligence. Research has shown that spiritual motivation to obey rules and carry out obligations without coercion. In the pesantren environment, students who have high spiritual intelligence are more obedient to the rules, such as maintaining prayer schedules, reciting the Koran, and Thus, the relationship between spiritual intelligence and discipline is intelligence is the foundation for forming consistent and sustainable discipline.

Male students are guided directly by male caregivers, while female students are guided by female caregivers, with structured management through the management hierarchy in OPPM. The OPPM management is fully responsible for implementing discipline at the Al-Istiqamah Ngatabaru Modern Islamic Boarding School. They are bound to carry out the applied discipline, which is monitored by the board of teachers who care for the students. Discipline is considered the core of the Islamic Boarding School itself because without discipline, the Islamic boarding school will feel lifeless. At the next level, students in grades VI and V of TMI are also involved, where some students in grade VI of TMI become OPPM management, while students in grade V become management in each rayon . Meanwhile, students in grades I to IV are required to become implementing discipline. As conveyed by the OPPM Language Section Administrator, who said that: Discipline is the core of Islamic boarding schools, which all students must implement. Without discipline, all activities will not run smoothly and as expected. As OPPM administrators who are tasked with enforcing discipline, we feel happy and proud when we see students in grades 1-5 carrying out the rules well and sincerely. However, we would be very disappointed if violations were found due to indiscipline from our younger siblings. As enforcers of discipline, we also have an obligation to implement the discipline set. 2 The Influence of Spiritual Intelligence on Student Discipline According to Ustad Fauzan Ansor.

Based on the statement above, the author can conclude that discipline in the Al-Istiqamah Ngatabaru Modern Islamic Boarding School significantly influences students' spiritual intelligence. Suppose the discipline in the Islamic boarding school does not require students to perform the five daily prayers in congregation and does not instill the values of politeness and mutual respect. In that case, it is likely that the spiritual development of students will be limited to their daily lives. 3 Supporting and inhibiting factors for students in increasing spiritual There are several supporting and inhibiting factors for male and female students at Al-Istiqamah Ngatabaru, as Supporting Factors The Kyai figure is one of the important components of life in an Islamic boarding school.

For example, recently, we handled a violation committed by one of the class 1 students who did not carry out the discipline to pray Maghrib in congregation at the mosque. When we found out about this violation, we immediately called the student. When we asked the reason why he Maghrib congregation at the mosque, he apologized for the violation he had committed while expressing that the reason was that he did not feel at home living at the boarding school and wanted to move schools The OPPM (Modern Boarding School Student Organizatio. administrators play an essential role in maintaining discipline at the AlIstiqamah Ngatabaru Modern Islamic Boarding School because they assist the Boarding School Leader and the student care council in ensuring orderly However, some OPPM administrators do not properly discipline their employees. Other inhibiting factors also come from parents or guardians of students. Parents supporting their children's schoolwork will run more smoothly for the students. The importance of synergistic cooperation between teachers and parents to achieve the desired educational goals cannot be overstated. The educational programs offered in schools will suffer due to the absence of parental support. Parents or guardians of students who do not understand and support the student discipline program, such as those who take their children home without the permission of the student's guardian or who reprimand the teacher in front of their children because they disagree with the punishment, are some of the things that hinder the student care unit in improving the discipline of OPPM administrators.
