Implementation of the Wahdah Islamiyah Foundation's Tarbiyah Halaqah Program in Fostering Noble Character Among Youth in Palu City

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the Tarbiyah Halaqah program organized by the Wahdah Islamiyah Foundation in fostering noble character among youth in Palu City. The research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The study aims to understand how the program is carried out, what methods are applied, and to what extent it contributes to the moral development of young participants. The findings reveal that the Tarbiyah Halaqah program functions as a systematic character-building effort that emphasizes religious knowledge, discipline, spiritual training, and the internalization of Islamic values. The mentoring sessions, conducted regularly, provide not only religious guidance but also psychological support and a sense of belonging, which encourage youth to practice good morals in their daily lives. Furthermore, the program instills leadership, social responsibility, and self-awareness, enabling participants to respond constructively to the challenges of modern life. The research concludes that the consistent implementation of Tarbiyah Halaqah plays a significant role in strengthening youth morality and character. It also demonstrates that Islamic-based educational movements can serve as an effective response to the crisis of moral values among young generations in contemporary society.
