Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the Islamic Literacy Friday Program as a form of religious habituation in strengthening students' self-confidence when delivering lectures while improving their Iqra reading skills at SMA Negeri 2 Totikum. The study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type that aims to comprehensively describe the implementation of the program in the school environment. Informants in this study consisted of the principal, the Islamic Religious Education teacher who acted as the program supervisor, and a number of students who participated in the program. Data collection was carried out through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Next, the data were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing and verifying conclusions. To ensure data validity, this study applied source triangulation and method triangulation techniques. The research findings indicate that the implementation of the Islamic Literacy Friday Program was carried out through several stages of activities, including the program planning stage, Iqra reading skill development, lecture delivery practice by students, and the evaluation and reinforcement stage of the activity. The implementation of this program has made a positive contribution to increasing students' self-confidence in delivering lectures in public. This is evident from the increase in the number of students who dared to appear to deliver lectures, from the initial 40 people to 96 people. Furthermore, students' Iqra reading skills have also shown significant improvement. This is demonstrated by the reduction in the number of students unable to read Iqra fluently, from 30 to 14. Therefore, the Friday Islamic Literacy Program can be viewed as an effective religious habituation strategy for improving Quranic literacy while simultaneously developing students' religious communication skills within the school environment
