Abstract

The spiritual development of Indonesian youth is increasingly challenged by rapid technological advancement and ongoing social transformation, which often contribute to declining religious engagement and weakened cultural rootedness. In response to this issue, a community engagement project (PKM) was implemented to strengthen spiritual intelligence and cultural identity through the revitalization of Hadrah Al Banjari, a traditional Islamic art form. Conducted in the Sukun Subdistrict of Malang City, the project involved 25 mosque youth aged between 13 and 21 who were selected based on their active participation in mosque based activities. Situated within the broader framework of spiritual education, Hadrah Al Banjari fosters spiritual awareness, emotional sensitivity, and a sense of cultural pride. Employing qualitative methods including interviews, focus group discussions, and participant observation, this study adopted a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach that encouraged youth to actively reflect on and enhance their spiritual practices. The findings indicate that Hadrah Al Banjari serves as an effective medium for deepening religious devotion and internalizing Islamic values. This project highlights the significance of preserving traditional Islamic arts in supporting the spiritual and emotional development of young people. Future initiatives are recommended to further integrate such cultural practices into broader community based spiritual education programs.
