1. Introduction
The obligation to do shalat five times a day for most of moslem is a hard task,
except for those who are sincere. It is as revealed by Allah himself in the Qur'an sura al-
Baqarah verse 45-46: "And ask for help (to Allah) with patience and (do) shalat. And
indeed such a dire, except for people who fervently [2:45]. (They are) those who
believe, that they will meet their Lord and that they will return to Him. "[2:46]
Shalat, especially the dawn shalat (done around 4 o'clock in the day) is the
worship that requires a willingness of moslem. For that, education and practice of shalat
should be taught from an early age. Since elementary school, even kindergarten, shalat
is practiced and exercised in school.
Shalat does not only include the practice of physical movement, but also rote
readings, as well as other accompanying knowledge, such as the legal requirement of
shalat, pillars (rukun) of shalat, wudu', and others. The complexity of understanding the
practice of shalat is the reason why it needs regular practice of shalat since childhood.
In order to practice successfully, various teaching methods are applied, ranging
from the soft method to the hard one. Islam ordered the parents to instruct shalat for
children aged 7 years, and beat the child who left the shalat when they are 10 years old.

For children who are under age, the approach used is persuasive one. One
approach that successfully implemented is the honesty (integrity) approach. One
honesty practice that had been running for more than 3 years was implemented by the
students of Madrasah Diniyah Ma'hadil-Hasyimy.
Each student was given a book called Laporan Kejujuran Shalat (LKS, integrity
report of shalat) that lists the five shalat every day. Students are asked to fill in the
column "YES" to any item of shalat that has been established, and fill the "NO" column
of the shalat they leave. LKS filling can be done by the students themselves, as well as
can be witnessed by the parents (when do shalat at home) or a teacher (when do shalat
in school).
Every day the parents and teachers evaluate the implementation of student’s
shalat. Teachers make a personal note on the student shalat activities. LKS is not
included in the subject curricullum, but the LKS still got a special assessment which has
four criteria: A (excellent), B (good), C (medium), and D (poor).
The goal of LKS is to improve the practice of shalat and honesty. LKS impact not
only be measured at proficiency or fluency in shalat, but also in improving the honest
behavior of students, both in the implementation of the shalat, and daily behavior of
students at school and home.
Shalat is the activity of body movement, oral reading and concentration of mind
(heart). Recitation of shalat is in Arabic. The more frequent shalat, the better will be the
reading of Qur'an. Therefore, filling LKS is expected to improve the ability to read the
Qur'an and memorizing short sura in the Qur'an.

Some subjects directly related to the implementation of the shalat are fiqh
(islamic jurisprudence), tajwid (reading the Qur'an) and morality (ethics of personality).
Filling LKS is expected to improve students' value in the above three subjects that are
closely related with shalat.
The problems taken in this study is how the impact of LKS on student’s daily
behavior and their subject’s value such as tajwid, fiqh, and akhlaq. Another problem
taken were how the parents' opinion on the change of student’s behavior and how the
impact of LKS on their own shalat.
2. Literature Review
2.1 Honesty
Honesty is the congruence between words and actions. It is consistency of the
heart, saying and actions. The honesty requires sincerity. Only people who can be
accountable to God could do honesty.
The meaning of the word “honest” related with upright and not lying. Honesty
means straightness of heart or sincerity. In general, the meaning of honesty is sincerity
in implementing the tasks and the ability to not abuse the authority given to him.
Honestly is a desirable attitude, even becomes a measure of goodness of a
person's behavior. With honesty someone become a person who can be trusted.
Trusted to do any work, or trusted to a responsibility, and is believed to keep important
secret, either for a person, group, institutions, and even countries (LAN, 2009).

2.2 Integrity
Integrity is the embodiment of a dedicated identity consistently in applying the
principle, and act with positive values that are known or believed. Integrity is the core of
the embodiment of attitudes and behavior. Attitudes and behavior is an image of
someone’s personality which is seen through physical movement and mind respond to a
situation or an object.
In the integrity contained the consistency between actions and values. People
who have integrity, to live in accord with the principle values. A character regardless of
time and place which is always showing obedience to run the code of ethics and morals,
holding principles, sincere, honest and trustworthy, disciplined, have the power to
maintain steadfastness/steadiness/stability/fullness, and consistent in attitude and
behavior (LAN , 2009).
2.3 Shalat
Worship according to linguistic meaning is serving, grovel to God (Yunus,
1995:252). While in general terms is the effort both physically and spiritually according
to God's command to obtain happiness and safety of life, either for themselves, family,
society and the universe (Depdikbud, 1995:364).
Shalat according to linguistic meaning is pray, while according to the terms of
fiqh are some specific words and deeds started with takbir and ended with salam with
some conditions (al-Husainy in Jauharah, 2000:6). In the Indonesian dictionary says
that "Shalat is implementing a mandatory ritual worship performed by a mukallaf

moslem starting with takbir equipped with a salam, syarat, rukun, movement and certain
readings (Depdikbud, 1995:866).
2.4 The Correlation between shalat and integrity, honesty and discipline
If one moslem do shalat on the right time and with full compliance, then gradually
they will be easier to enforce integrity, honesty, discipline, trust, high morale, do not like
to cheat, betray or do things vile and evil.
According to Shihab (1992 in Jauharah, 2000:40) shalat is a requirement of
common human mind and soul, and a need to create a society which is expected by the
human being (insan kamil/perfect moslem). According to Al-Qur `an there are some
lessons that can be drawn from the shalat, which are: 1) Is a means to connect people
with God (hablum minallah); 2) Shalat and patience as a helper; 3) To prevent from
indecency and evil; 4) Having the self-discipline of wisdom over time; 5) To foster a
sense of equality, unity, and brotherhood; 6) As a means to maintain personal hygiene;
7) To clean the soul and the human body; 8) To eliminate the disease from the body; 9)
Increase happiness/success.
Meanwhile, according to Muhammad, (XXXX:61-68) shalat established and
implemented with full awareness will give the positive impact in the development of the
whole person, among other things: 1) Instill discipline; 2) Instilling love of cleanliness; 3)
Can remove stains and sins; 4) Making face clean and clear; 5) Will always be patient
and steadfast facing God’s temptation, not easy to sigh and despair; 6) Make people
are generous and socially minded, smart, and helpful; 7) Fear and shame to do a sin; 8)

Dare to face the risk of defending the religion of Allah and Allah; 9) Shalat makes a
person always remembers Allah and heart will be calm.
3. Methodology
3.1 Data collection
This research is a case study. Sample research are students of class VI of
Madrasah Diniyah Ma'hadil-Hasyimy, Kaduara Timur Village, Pragaan Regency,
Sumenep District. While the control of the research are students of class VI of
Madrasah Diniyah Mabdaul-Falah, Kaduara Barat Village, Larangan Regency,
Pamekasan District. Each number of sample and control as many as 22 students.
The data in this study come from two sources: secondary sources taken from
student report cards, as well as primary sources in the form of questionnaires to the
parents. Test in this study consisted of two tests. The first test is the mean difference
test of students of Madrasah Diniyah Ma'hadil-Hasyimy comparing between before and
after the implementation of the LKS. The second test is the mean difference test
between the user of LKS (students of Madrasah Diniyah Ma'hadil-Hasyimy) and non-
users of LKS (students of Madrasah Diniyah Mabdaul Falah).
The subjects were assessed were tajwid, fiqh and akhlaq. Those three subjects
were chosen because those are most associated with the practice of shalat. The impact
of the implementation of the shalat can be seen in those subjects. Tajwid is the science
of reading the Qur'an, in which the whole shalat is in Arabic reading, and some of the
reading is taken from the Qur’an. Fiqh is the science of Islamic Shari'a. One of the

chapters in fiqh is about shalat. Akhlaq is subject about ethics. The more often students
do shalat, it is expected the better their behavior.
3.2 Data processing
To examine the differences between “before and after” the implementation of
LKS used Wilcoxon test. According to Sulaiman (2000:79) Wilcoxon test is used to test
the hypothesis that the two variables that are two related samples have the same
distribution when the data are ordinal form.
To test the difference between the “sample and control” applied Run Wald-
Wolfowitz test. According to Sulaiman (2000:48), Run Wald-Wolfowitz test is used to
test whether two samples come from the same population or different. The analysis tool
used was SPSS.
3.3 Hypothesis
Wilcoxon test hypotheses are as follows:
H0 = student’s value for tajwid, fiqh and akhlaq subjects before the implementation of
LKS and after implementation of LKS is the same
H1 = student’s value for tajwid, fiqh and akhlaq subjects before the implementation of
LKS and after implementation of LKS is different
Run Wald-Wolfowitz test hypothesis are as follows:
H0 = student’s value for tajwid, fiqh and akhlaq subjects between the user of LKS and
non-user of LKS is the same
H1 = student’s value for tajwid, fiqh and akhlaq subjects between the user of LKS and
non-user of LKS is different

The test is carried out with alpha of 5%. Rule acceptance or rejection of the
above hypothesis is as follows:
If the value of the significance of Wilcoxon test and Run Wald-Wolfowitz test is smaller
than alpha (0.05), then H1 is accepted and H0 is rejected. If the value of the significance
of Wilcoxon test and Run Wald-Wolfowitz test is bigger than alpha (0.05), then H1 is
rejected, and H0 is accepted.
4. Research Result
4.1 The subject’s value differences before and after the implementation of LKS
The Wilcoxon test results on the tajwid value of students of Madrasah Diniyah
Ma'hadil-Hasyimy are: the mean before the implementation of LKS is 72.91 while the
mean after the implementation of LKS is 78.95. The significance value is 0.00. Thus the
students’ tajwid value is proved increasing (see appendix 1).
The Wilcoxon test results on the fiqh value of students of Madrasah Diniyah
Ma'hadil-Hasyimy are: the mean before the implementation of LKS is 73.68 while the
mean after the implementation of LKS is 79.32. The significance value is 0.03. Thus the
students’ fiqh value is proved increasing (see appendix 2).
The Wilcoxon test results on the akhlaq value of students of Madrasah Diniyah
Ma'hadil-Hasyimy are: the the mean before the implementation of LKS is 76.36 while
the mean after the implementation of LKS is 80.77. The significance value is 0.027.
Thus the students’ akhlaq value is proved increasing (see appendix 3).
4.2 The subject’s value differences between the user and non-user of LKS

The Run Wald-Wolfowitz Test results on tajwid mean value of Madrasah Diniyah
Ma'hadil-Hasyimy students (sample) is 78.95, while the mean value of Madrasah
Diniyah Mabdaul-Falah students (control) is 78.18. The significance value is 0.767.
Thus the tajwid value between the sample and control is not proved different (see
appendix 4).
The Run Wald-Wolfowitz Test results on fiqh mean value of Madrasah Diniyah
Thus the fiqh value between the sample and control is proved different (see appendix
5).
The Run Wald-Wolfowitz Test results on akhlaq mean value of Madrasah Diniyah
Thus the akhlaq value between the sample and control is not proved different (see
appendix 6).
4.3 Impact on daily behavior
Based on the results of the questionnaire it is obtained that 21 (95%) of parents
stated that their children more honest (better) in their daily behavior. A number of 1 (5%)
parent stated that the behavior of their children remains the same as before (see
appendix 7).

The next impact of the LKS can be seen in which 19 parents (86%) stated that
they are affected by their children to be more diligent in doing shalat, while the rest 3
parents (14%) remained unaffected (see appendix 8).
5. Conclusion
This research proves that shalat by filling the LKS significantly increase the value
of tajwid, fiqh and akhlaq subjects of Madrasah Diniyah Ma'hadil-Hasyimy students.
Shalat that are conducted regularly and discipline makes the students easier to read
Qur’an, understand the rukun of shalat, as well as improve their behavior of their daily
lives.
This research also proves that the value of fiqh subject of Madrasah Diniyah
Ma'hadil-Hasyimy students (user LKS) was significantly higher than that of Madrasah
Diniyah Mabdaul Falah students (non-users LKS), while the value of both tajwid and
akhlaq subjects are not differ significantly.
Another impact of shalat is the change of the students' daily behavior, where
students are more honest than that of before. Shalat by filling the LKS also helps the
parents to improve their shalat practice.
