Abstract

This study investigates the influence of disciplined congregation prayer (Shalat Berjamaah) on students' emotional intelligence at SMA Maarif NU Pandaan. Motivated by the importance of character and emotional development through religious practices, the research aims to analyze how discipline in performing prayer affects emotional competencies such as self-motivation and empathy. Employing a quantitative approach with survey methods, data were collected from 238 students using questionnaires, followed by statistical analysis including regression testing. The findings reveal a significant positive effect of disciplined prayer on emotional intelligence, with discipline accounting for 14.4% of the variability in emotional skills. The study highlights the role of consistent religious practices in fostering character, emotional regulation, and social relationships, suggesting that school programs emphasizing disciplined prayer can contribute meaningfully to students' holistic development.
