Abstract

The reading of Qasidah Burdah is one of the religious practices that develops in the pesantren environment and contains the values of example, love for the Prophet (peace be upon him), and moral development. Although the practice of reading religious texts collectively has become part of the educational tradition of Islamic boarding schools, empirical studies that specifically examine the influence of Qasidah Burdah reading on the Muslim personality of students are still relatively limited, especially those that explain its relationship through the perspective of habituation and social learning. This study aims to analyze the influence of Qasidah Burdah reading on the personality of Muslim students at the Sabilal Muhtadin Jaya Karet Samuda Islamic Boarding School. The research uses a quantitative approach with the type of explanatory (associative) research. Data was collected through a Likert scale questionnaire from 96 selected students using the proportional random sampling technique and analyzed using simple linear regression with the help of IBM SPSS Statistics. The results showed that the reading of Qasidah Burdah had a positive and significant effect on the personality of Muslim students, with a regression equation of Y = 30.805 + 0.580X, a value of t = 6.665 and p < 0.001, and F = 44.424 and p < 0.001. The value of the determination coefficient (R²) of 0.321 showed that the reading of Qasidah Burdah contributed 32.1% to the variation in Muslim personality of students, while 67.9% was influenced by other factors outside the research model. The novelty of this research lies in the use of the integrative perspectives of Social Learning Theory and Habituation Theory to explain how the practice of reading religious texts collectively can contribute to the formation of Muslim personality of students. Theoretically, these findings strengthen the understanding that habituation of religious activities in the social environment of pesantren can be a mechanism for internalizing values and forming Islamic behavior. Practically, these findings show the importance of maintaining and developing the reading of Qasidah Burdah as part of the character development strategy in Islamic boarding schools. This study was limited to one pesantren and 96 respondents and only tested one predictor variable, so the next study needs to involve a more diverse pesantren context and other factors that have the potential to influence Muslim personality
