Building Strong Character Among The Adolescent Of The Islamic Center Mosque Of Al-Muqorrobin, Sewon, Bantul Through Didikan Subuh And Tapak Suci Martial Arts

Abstract

Abstract.One of the functions of the mosque that Al-Muqorrobin Islamic Center Mosque wants to play, apart from being a comfortable place for mahdah worship, is as a place for the formation of the young generation of Muslims who are strong in character. However, so far this function is still not optimal, while the interesting activities of Youth Mosques to prosper the mosque and form the mentality and awareness of defending the country among its members are still very minimal. For this reason, this community partnership program offers 2 sustainable activities to address the problem of youth mosques as the program partner namely: 1. The Subuh Education(Didikan Subuh) activities after the Fajr Prayer in the congregation every Sunday morning; 2. The practice of martial art Tapak Suci self-defense which is carried out after Didikan from 6 to 8 am. The methods used in these activities are lectures, dialogue, demonstrations, and exercises led by a professional martial arts trainer. The results of the pre-test and post-test assessments of the Didikan Subuh participants showed that there had been a significant increase in the participants' religious and national insights and knowledge from an average of 32.6% in the pre-test to 64% in the post-test. While the results of routine Tapak Suci martial arts training since February 5, 2023, have produced 2 champions of the Tapak Suci Inter Kindergarten and Elementary Championships throughout the Province of Yogyakarta Special Region (Muhi Minggir Cup Competition) which was held on 12-14 May 2023
