Abstract

Implementation of Religious Guidance in Growing Awareness of Prayer Worship in the Elderly at the Aisyiyah Kudus Elderly Home. This study aims to explore the implementation of religious guidance in fostering awareness of praying in the elderly at the Aisyiyah Elderly Home in Kudus. The method used is qualitative field with data collection through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. This religious guidance is designed to help the elderly overcome their religious problems so that they have true faith, make Islam the foundation of life, and carry out His commands consistently. The subjects of the study consisted of five elderly: Mbah Sriningsih, Mbah Siti Fatimah, Mbah Mui, Mbah Tumilah, and Mbah Marinem. The results of the study showed that three elderly (Mbah Sriningsih, Mbah Siti Fatimah, and Mbah Mui) experienced an increase in awareness of praying, which was seen from their consistency and discipline in performing prayers. Meanwhile, the other two elderly (Mbah Tumilah and Mbah Marinem) were still in the process of guidance, with developments in the form of increasing good attitudes towards others even though their awareness of praying was not optimal. This study suggests that religious guidance at the Aisyiyah Elderly Home in Kudus continue to be strengthened with a more personal and sustainable approach. Intensive mentoring and adaptive methods to the physical and mental needs of the elderly need to be implemented to ensure that every elderly person can feel the maximum spiritual benefits. In addition, this guidance is expected to help the elderly deepen their knowledge of Islam as a provision for the afterlife so that they can achieve a condition of husnul khotimah
