Faith Growth in the Stage of (Faith Recognition) in Islamic Education (Concept, Characteristics, and Applications)

Objectives: The study aims to elucidate the concept of faith development during the "Faith Awareness" stage in Islamic education, by defining this stage, its characteristics, and presenting suitable applications and activities. Method: The study follows a descriptive-analytical approach. Results: The study arrived at several conclusions, the most significant of which is that faith development, across different life stages in Islamic education, involves successive changes that occur from conception to death. This development results from the maturation of faith readiness and an increasing capacity for faith-based knowledge, guided by Islamic principles, with the goal of achieving servitude to God and success in both this life and the hereafter. Additionally, the study identified a set of suitable applications and activities to support faith development at this stage. Conclusion: In light of these findings, the study recommends conducting further research on other life stages and presenting appropriate applications for each.
