A Model Of Worship Value Internalization and Religious Experience In Hasbanah Prayer

Students' religious experiences are formed gradually through habituation, collective worship, and emotional involvement in ritual activities. The internalization process starts with compliance with institutional rules, develops into emotional adaptation and spiritual awareness, and eventually becomes a personal spiritual need. These experiences reflect William James's characteristics of religious experience: ineffability, noetic quality, transience, and partial passivity. Al-Ghazali's perspective explains that worship education involves not only ritual performance but also spiritual dimensions of the heart and inner awareness. However, deep understanding of worship recitations remains weak, indicating that spiritual experiences are shaped more by habituation and ritual atmosphere than by reflective understanding.
