Education plays an important role in efforts to improve human quality, both social, spiritual and intellectual. Apart from that, education is not only burdened with the task of making the nation's life more intelligent, but it is also burdened with the task of fostering the nation's morals, namely upholding human values, all of which will be realized if it is based on religious beliefs.

Because basically female students are able to perform muhadatsah optimally.

The research method used in this research is approach, determining research subjects, data collection methods (observation, interviews and data analysis.
