This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, which were then analyzed descriptively. The results show that Islamic education management at MAN 2 Tasikmalaya has successfully integrated character values ​​into religious activities such as religious study, congregational prayer, the habit of reading the Qur'an, and socio-religious activities. A participatory approach, visionary leadership, and consistent supervision are key factors in the success of implementing character education through religious activities.
