INTRODUCTION Education is a conscious effort carried out by families through guidance, teaching and training activities that take place at home and in the family environment to prepare students to be able to play roles in various living environments appropriately in the future. The family, as the first and main educational institution, should provide moral development, attention, direction and guidance to its children that is adapted to their level of growth and In this case. Islamic education places parents as the main and first educators. The family is one of the main elements of building an educational identity, creating a process of social naturalization, forming personality, and teaching children various good habits that will last forever. In other words, the family is the initial seed for the formation of individual maturity and personality structure. The family is an educational institution that has the most significant influence on the formation of children's morals and morals. (Ahmad Tasfir 1. II. THEORETICAL STUDIES Islamic religious education in the family influences students' religious attitudes. Islamic education is an effort to ensure that children and their descendants inherit knowledge . ave an Islamic perspectiv. Every deliberate effort and action to achieve a goal must have a sound and solid foundation. For Muslims, religion is the primary foundation for education because the universal teachings of Islam contain rules that govern all aspects of human life, both religious . egulating the relationship between humans and Go. and muamalah . egulating relationships between humans and other. The goal of Islamic education is to create leaders who consistently enjoin good and forbid evil (Toha, 1996:. This is stated Akrab Juara : Jurnal Ilmu-ilmu Sosial Vol. No. 4 Tahun 2025 Irfandi, et. in the word of Allah in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 30, which means: "Remember when your Lord said to the angels, 'Indeed. I intend to appoint a caliph on earth'" (QS. Al-Baqarah: . In life, a human being does not live alone and certainly has a family, even if it is not As we know, the family is the smallest institution in society, where a person grows up and receives education from their parents so they can live in society. A family consists of a husband, wife, children, and other family members who are related by blood or marriage. Islam itself has specific criteria for establishing and carrying out the functions of a family. (Ali, 2. The family is the primary foundation that can influence a child's attitudes and behavior. Therefore, it can be concluded that education is not only the responsibility of schools/universities but also occurs and is the responsibility of the family. (Pujo Suwarno. Sayekti, 1. The Role of Parents in Providing Islamic Religious Education The family plays a vital role in life, as every human being, or Muslim, naturally begins with a family. Therefore, it can be concluded that the family is the place where the foundation of religious values is taught to a child by parents and other family members. The roles of the family include: Instilling Islamic teachings: The family is the first place where a child learns about Islam. Within the family, the husband and wife will conduct and build a household based on Islamic teachings, thus creating a family that is sakinah, mawaddah, and warahmah. Providing a sense of calm: The family is the closest person to every human being and a place to confide all their feelings and problems. The family is also a place for each member to express their concerns because only the family exists and always provides attention to everyone, even though each person's family circumstances are different. The Quran itself states that a sakinah family is one filled with peace and tranquility. (Q. Ar-Rum: . Maintaining human dignity and honor: Maintaining the family's good name is every human being's duty because when a person makes a mistake, the consequences are not only borne by themselves but also by their family. Having a family makes a person responsible not only for themselves but also for their family. Protection from the torment of Hellfire: As previously mentioned, the family is the place where Islamic values and religious teachings are first taught. Parents and children also protect each other from sin and remind each other. Akrab Juara : Jurnal Ilmu-ilmu Sosial Vol. No. 4 Tahun 2025 Irfandi, et. As stated in Surah At-Tahrim, verse 6, a Muslim must protect himself and his family from sin and the torment of Hellfire. (Shoib. Moh.

Parenting Style: A parenting style that teaches religious values with love is more effective than one that is harsh or coercive. Influence of Media and Technology: Mass media, the internet, and information technology have a significant influence on Islamic religious education. Families that are able to filter and select useful information can broaden their children's religious horizons, such as religious educational content on social media. Parental Motivation and Awareness: Parental awareness of the importance of religious education for children is a major factor in the success of Islamic religious education within the family. Such as Parental Commitment: Parents who are committed to providing the best religious education will strive to allocate time and resources for their children's religious education. Parental concern for their children's spiritual development: Parents who understand that religious education is not only about knowledge, but also about developing spiritual character will be more active in educating their children. Students' religious attitudes within the family are a manifestation of how they practice Islamic teachings in their daily lives, especially in their relationships with parents, siblings, and other family members.

The Role of Parents in Providing Islamic Religious Education in the Family Within the family, parents serve as the primary educators for their children. Ideally, parents are expected to guide, educate, train, and teach their children in matters related to personality development and learning activities. Family education is the fostering effort parents make for their children so they can grow and develop optimally. All children's potential can develop, including physical, intellectual, and spiritual. These three aspects are the goals of family education that every parent must pay attention to. (Ramli.

We are the companions or first people by our children's side from infancy until adulthood. As parents, we certainly play a role as educators in the family, educating our children according to Islamic teachings and being good examples for our children. From this statement, it can be simplified that the role of parents in educating children is crucial because parents are their children's first teachers, teaching them about Islamic religious education.

According to the informant, "When we raise children according to Islamic teachings, it can certainly influence our children's attitudes to be better and more obedient to religious commands. However, in raising children, we will certainly face challenges, both from external and internal interactions.

Parents need to recognize the importance of religious education for every family member, especially for children. Religious education instilled in children as early as possible has a significant positive impact on the growth and development of their character and Therefore, parents are obligated to provide guidance and concrete examples.
