Membangun Kesadaran Beribadah melalui Pelatihan Sholat Sempurna pada Jam’iyyah Muslimat Dusun Dorogeneng Desa Pehserut Kecamatan Sukomoro Kabupaten Nganjuk

Abstract

This community service program was motivated by the limited understanding among women members of the Muslimat congregation in Dorogeneng Hamlet, Pehserut Village, regarding the correct procedures for performing perfect prayer (sholat), covering its pillars, conditions, and inner solemnity, due to their busy daily work and the absence of prior specific guidance. The program aimed to provide broader and deeper insight to the community on matters related to prayer. The method applied was a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach carried out through five stages: social analysis and mapping, program planning, coordination with partners, training implementation, and control/evaluation. The core activity, a training titled "Building Worship Awareness through Perfect Prayer," was held on 28 August 2025 at Nurul Huda Prayer Hall, featuring a resource person Jombang, attended by approximately 45 participants. The results showed improved understanding and skills among participants in prayer practice, strong enthusiasm and partner participation, and a closer partnership between the university and the community. The program concludes that a participatory approach is effective in building spiritual awareness and improving the quality of community worship, and it is recommended as a sustainable religious development program.
