The implementation of religious programs in developing children's religious character education at SDIQ Riyadul Muhibbin, Paringin District, Balangan Regency, has been running well. This has resulted in students appearing enthusiastic and attentive in participating in religious activities. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the implementation of religious programs in developing children's religious character education. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research method. Qualitative data was obtained from observations, interviews, and documentation, while descriptive data was obtained by describing phenomena or events that occurred in the social environment or human behavior in detail and depth. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the religious activities that are part of the religious program at SDIQ Riyadhul Muhibbin have been carried out effectively and have had a positive influence on the development of students' character. This is evident from the students' enthusiasm in participating in activities such as congregational prayers, reciting prayers and short surahs, memorizing hadiths, and memorizing the Qur'an. These activities not only instill religious values in students' lives but also help shape them into individuals who are spiritually and intellectually sound.
