This study aims to analyze the role of the As-Sifātul Maẓmūmah book in shaping the character of students at the Al-Mushlih Islamic Boarding School in Karawang. The background of this study is based on the importance of strengthening character education amidst the phenomenon of moral decline among the younger generation, including within Islamic boarding schools. The As-Sifātul Maẓmūmah book , as a classic moral text, focuses on ... about despicable traits to avoid, making it highly relevant to character building. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation, involving teachers and students as research subjects. Data analysis uses an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data appearance, and conclusion drawing, with validity confirmed through triangulation of sources and techniques. The results of the study indicate that the book As-Sifātul Maẓ Mūmah plays an important role as a source of moral values in shaping students' character. The learning process increases students' understanding of negative traits such as arrogance, envy, and showing off, while fostering introspective awareness (muhasabah). Furthermore, the values contained in the book are internalized through habituation and role models in the Islamic boarding school environment, leading to positive behavioral changes among students. This book also functions as an effective medium for comprehensive character formation, covering cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. In conclusion, the study of As-Sifātul Maẓmūmah has proven effective in strengthening students' character education. The uniqueness of this study lies in its focus on a relatively under-researched text and its emphasis on character development through the avoidance of negative traits as an integral part of moral education in Islamic boarding schools.
