This article discusses how the practice of congregational prayer in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) is not merely a routine worship activity but also a living heritage that is passed down and preserved from generation to generation. This study aims to analyze the role of congregational prayer in shaping the disciplinary character of santri (students) at Al Furqon Kajen Islamic Boarding School. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews and documentation to explore the santri' experiences and the pesantren's policies regarding the implementation of congregational prayer. The results indicate that temporal regularity, togetherness, and adherence to regulations in congregational prayer serve as essential instruments in the internalization of disciplinary values. Furthermore, congregational prayer functions as a medium for forming a religious habitus that strengthens the santri' identity as obedient, orderly, and responsible individuals. The conclusion emphasizes that congregational prayer acts as an effective living heritage in fostering disciplinary character, thus necessitating its maintenance and optimization as a character education strategy within the pesantren environment.
