This study examines the critical role of the family environment in shaping the internalization of Islamic values in early childhood. Using a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews of 25 families in diverse socioeconomic settings, this research explores how parental practices, family religious routines, and family communication patterns influence children's under-standing and adoption of Islamic values. Findings reveal that consistent modeling of Islamic practices by parents, establishing daily religious rou-tines, maintaining open communication about religious concepts, and cre-ating a supportive emotional climate significantly enhance children's inter-nalization of Islamic values. The research highlights the family's funda-mental role as the first madrasah (school) for children and offers practical recommendations for parents and educators seeking to nurture Islamic values in the early developmental years.
