Character development is a crucial element in the educational landscape, particularly in elementary schools where a child's personality starts to take shape. An effective approach to cultivating students' character is through Islamic Religious Education (PAI). This research seeks to evaluate how significantly Islamic Religious Education impacts the character development of elementary school students. A qualitative method is employed for this investigation, utilizing observation methods, interviews, and documentation concerning PAI teachers and students from various elementary schools. The findings from the research show that Islamic Religious Education plays a crucial role in promoting character traits like integrity, self-control, accountability, and acceptance. Effective learning, teacher role models, and religious activities in schools are supporting factors for the success of character education. On the other hand, limited lesson time and lack of parental involvement are challenges in its implementation. In conclusion, Islamic Religious Education has an important role in forming the character of students holistically from an early age.

This article examines various aspects related to khamar, including its linguistic meaning, definitions, impacts, and the Islamic legal perspective on it. In Arabic, khamar means something that conceals or covers, referring to intoxicating beverages that impair rational thinking. Scholars provide various definitions of khamar, encompassing intoxicants derived from fermented grapes and other substances. From an Islamic perspective, khamar is considered to have more harmful effects than benefits, affecting social, economic, and health aspects. Although the trade of khamar may provide worldly profits, it is deemed contrary to Islamic teachings due to its potential to promote immorality and corrupt morals. The impact of khamar consumption on minors is particularly damaging, affecting their physical and mental health as well as causing broader social repercussions. Islamic legal sanctions against the consumption of khamar emphasize strict prohibition to prevent its use, although specific worldly punishments are not elaborated upon. This study highlights that despite the financial advantages it might offer, the negative consequences of khamar far outweigh its benefits and should therefore be avoided for the well-being of society.
