of educational failure. Is there a wrong value received by the child? The purpose of the study was to

congregation for all students in the mosque in the school environment. Learning through almsgiving

emotions, when they see a friend who is sick in class. Their reaction is a form of caring towards
friends. Seeing there were friends who were fighting, some students acted in disarray, some chose to
convey to the teacher. This is a good character education. Exemplary and habituation in maintaining

example.
