Students are learners as well as part of society who are vulnerable to mental health disorders. This is due to the challenging academic journey, from the beginning of their studies to the final semester, in order to develop their ability to fulfill intellectual responsibilities. There are several simple methods that can be practiced independently to reduce anxiety symptoms, such as deep breathing techniques, avoiding alcohol consumption, sharing feelings with close ones, and strengthening spiritual connection with Allah SWT through performing Tahajud prayer. This study aims to analyze the relationship between Tahajud prayer and the level of anxiety among students at Sultan Agung Islamic University Semarang. The study employs a correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected through questionnaires completed by 75 students using a total sampling technique. The results indicate that the majority of respondents, 65 students (86.7%), engage in Tahajud prayer regularly. However, most respondents, 50 students (66.7%), still experience high levels of anxiety. Statistical tests revealed a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), demonstrating a significant relationship between Tahajud prayer and anxiety levels. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that there is a correlation between Tahajud prayer and students' anxiety levels. This study is expected to serve as a reference for future research and encourage students to utilize Tahajud prayer as a form of spiritual therapy in managing anxiety.

Self-esteem exerts a significant influence on an individual's confidence and adaptability, indirectly influencing students' academic success. This research seeks to examine the association between self-esteem levels and the Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of students at the Faculty of Economic,  Sultan Agung Islamic University, Semarang. This study employs a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The research sample consists of 185 respondents selected randomly using the simple random sampling method. Data were collected through the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) questionnaire to measure self-esteem levels and students' latest GPA records. Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman correlation test. The findings of this investigation reveal a robust positive correlation between self-esteem levels and students' GPA (p = 0.000; r = 0.774). This suggests that elevated self-esteem is intrinsically linked to improved scholastic performance. This study is anticipated to serve as a foundational reference for support programs aimed at enhancing students' self-confidence. In conclusion, a profound and statistically significant association is evident between self-esteem and students' academic performance.
