Discipline Character Introduction In Islamic teachings, humans are required to carry out Islamic sharia-regulated worship properly and correctly.
Islam has organized everything from the smallest to the most important affairs.
As a result, there is a need for coaching in Islamic boarding schools, because students have the most obligations and responsibilities, as well as the most important mandate that must be carried out in Islamic boarding schools, one of which is discipline in performing dawn prayers in congregation.
Prayer is one of the pillars of Islam that comes second after Muslims declare that there is no god but Allah and testify that the prophet Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.
Furthermore, the command to pray is strongly advised to be done in congregation, because praying in congregation has many advantages over praying alone.
Prayer in congregation, aside from having a great reward, can also unite Muslims into a stronger unit, with all Muslims appearing more peaceful and harmonious in congregation.

Discipline is one of the character values that must be developed.

P-ISSN x-x The implementation of morning congregational prayer for class 7 A students at Al-QurAoan Islamic Boarding School Harsallakum in Bengkulu City According to the findings of research conducted at the Harsallakum Al-QurAoan Islamic Boarding School, the development of disciplined character in Islamic boarding schools to increase the activity of Fajr prayer together for class 7 A students is carried out through Uswah hasanah, habituation, and a conducive environment.
This is also consistent with Sasongko in Gularso and Fiorini, who stated in Gularso and Fiorini that the development of disciplined character in Islamic boarding schools to increase the activity of the dawn prayer together, namely:
Routine activities are activities that are carried out on a regular basis with the goal of forming studentsAo habits of doing things well.
Execution of spontaneous activities, which are activities that are determined by the location and time.
This activity aims to instill habits, particularly discipline and good manners, at that time.
The teacherAos strategy for shaping the discipline character of class 7 A studentsAo dawn prayer According to the findings of research conducted at the Harsallakum Al-QurAoan Islamic Boarding School, the teacherAos strategy in shaping the discipline character of the dawn prayer for class 7 A students is that students are required to take a shower first so that students have no reason to be sleepy to pray.
We had breakfast together.
Some strategies include the teacher using example, habituation, and sanctioning students, and then the teacher using rules to shape the character of student discipline.
This is consistent with AsmaniAos statement that the school can do several things to shape the character of discipline:
Encourage studentsAo positive attitudes and knowledge of these rules and guidelines at school, home, and in the community.
Increase studentsAo knowledge and understanding of the discipline for selfdevelopment both inside and outside of the classroom.
Improve studentsAo ability to adapt in a healthy way.
Develop student competencies to enable them to carry out internal disciplinary behavior control.
Set a good example and become a role model (Asmani, 2.

Bengkulu City, to performing morning prayer in congregation According to the findings of research conducted at the Harsallakum Al-QurAoan Islamic Boarding School, there were several responses from students when performing the Journal of E-Learning.

P-ISSN x-x dawn prayer in congregation, namely, when each ustadz woke up to perform the dawn prayer in congregation, the studentsAo responses varied, such as the students and hide so that they do not say the morning prayer in public.
The same is true for Mulyasa, who stated that there is a convergence theory in the theory of student development, where the person can be formed from his environment and by developing the basic potential that exists in him.
This fundamental potential can influence behavior .
hrough the proces.
As a result, basic potential must always be directed in order for educational goals to be met properly.
Good habits are one way to develop this fundamental potential.
Rasulullah SAW ordered parents, in this case educators, to order their children to pray when they were seven years old, in order to establish habits in education.
Habituation can encourage faster behavior, and without habituation, oneAos life will move slowly because one must first think about what he is doing before doing it (Mulyasa, 2.
Penalties for students who fail to perform morning prayer in congregation According to the findings of research conducted at the Harsallakum Al-QurAoan Islamic Boarding School, the punishment for students who do not perform the Fajr prayer in congregation is one week of cleaning the dormitory, drying in the field, and push-ups.
According to Ahmad D Mrimba, punishment produces a high level of discipline at the stage that most convinces the santri to act or not act, not out of fear of punishment, but out of self-realization (Marimba, 1.
Similarly.
Ahmadi stated that punishment can be successful if it can arouse feelings of repentance and regret for his actions.
Punishment can also cause things like:
Because this punishment causes the students to believe that their relationship with the teacher has been severed, it is not natural, and the students believe that the teacher does not love them.
Santri believes that their personal dignity and self-esteem have been violated (Ahmadi dan Uhbiyati, 2.
The formation of behavior through this discipline necessitates both firmness and Firmness necessitates that an educator provides sanctions for violators, while wisdom necessitates that the educator be fair and wise in imposing sanctions, rather than acting on emotions or the encouragement of others.
As a result, before imposing sanctions, an educator must consider the following:
There must be substantial evidence of a violation.
Punishment must be educational rather than simply providing satisfaction or revenge from the educator.

P-ISSN x-x Punishment must take into account the background and condition of students who violate, gender differences, and types of violations that are intentional or not.
Takzir is the name given to this punishment in pesantren.
Takzir is a punishment meted out to students who break it.
Expulsion from the pesantren is the harshest This punishment is given to students who have repeatedly violated the rules, as if they are irreparable.
Students who violate it with serious violations that tarnish the pesantrenAos good name are also punished.
Every action has consequences, whether they are positive or negative, and whether they are good or bad.
As a result, punishment is primarily the result of manAos own actions, and Allah does not abuse humans in any way.
The advantages and goals of fostering the disciplined character of congregational dawn prayer According to the findings of research conducted at the Harsallakum Al-QurAoan Islamic Boarding School, the benefits and objectives of fostering the disciplined character of the dawn prayer in congregation are that they are embedded in the heart to be sincere, that they are aware that praying is an obligation, especially prayer dawn, and that they will eventually get used to it.
Similarly.
Rachman in Sulistyorini stated that there are several goals to be achieved.
Provide support to students in order to avoid deviant behavior.
Encourage students to take good and right actions.
Assist students in understanding and adapting to their surroundings, and refrain from engaging in activities that violate school rules.
Provide opportunities for students to become acquainted with doing good and beneficial things for themselves and the environment around them (Sulistyorini.
Similarly.
Facrudin explained that there are two types of goals for developing disciplined character:
Assisting students in becoming individuals capable of developing dependent traits separate from their personality, so that students can stand on their own and be responsible for themselves.
Assisting students in preventing, overcoming, and creating a conducive environment for the learning process while adhering to all school rules.
This gives hope that discipline can mean assisting students in being able to do things on their own .
