Abstract

This study aims to enhance the understanding and awareness of high school students regarding faith in the Day of Judgment through Islamic Religious Education (IRE) learning. Belief in the Day of Judgment is one of the pillars of faith that significantly influences students' behavior and attitudes, particularly in shaping religious character and moral responsibility. However, in reality, students’ understanding of the concept of the Day of Judgment remains limited and tends to be theoretical without deep personal awareness. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method conducted at a public senior high school. Data collection techniques include observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of the IRE learning process focused on the topic of the Day of Judgment. The findings reveal that through contextual, reflective, and participatory teaching approaches, students’ comprehension of the meaning of the Day of Judgment improves significantly. Moreover, their awareness of the importance of preparing for the afterlife through righteous deeds is reflected in noticeable changes in daily behavior, such as increased honesty, responsibility, and social concern. The IRE teacher plays a strategic role in internalizing the values of faith in the Day of Judgment by applying creative methods relevant to the lives of adolescents. This study recommends strengthening IRE learning not only through cognitive development but also through affective and psychomotor domains, so that the values of faith can be manifested in students’ real-life behavior.
