The act of sacrifice (udhiyah) is a form of worship in Islam that holds profound spiritual and social values. Sacrifice aims to draw closer to Allah SWT while demonstrating solidarity with others through the distribution of meat to the community, especially those in need. However, the implementation of sacrifice is often not fully understood, particularly regarding its rulings and etiquettes, such as the selection of animals, slaughtering procedures, and meat distribution. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the rulings of udhiyah and the etiquettes of sacrifice based on Islamic law.The research employs a qualitative approach with a library research method. Data were collected from primary sources such as the Qur'an and hadith, as well as secondary sources including books of Islamic jurisprudence, scholarly journals, and other relevant literature. Data analysis was conducted descriptively to identify and organize systematic insights related to the topic.The results indicate that sacrifice is obligatory for those who can afford it according to some scholars, while the majority consider it a strongly recommended act (sunnah muakkad). The etiquettes of sacrifice include sincere intentions, selecting animals that meet Islamic requirements, proper and humane slaughtering, and proportional meat distribution. Sacrifice also holds spiritual wisdom, such as strengthening faith and gratitude, as well as social benefits by fostering community bonds through sharing.This study concludes that sacrifice is not merely an annual ritual but also a reflection of values such as devotion, sincerity, and solidarity that must be instilled continuously in the lives of Muslims.

Religious education plays a crucial role in shaping the faith and character of children from an early age. One of the important subjects in Islamic religious education at the elementary school level is the teaching of the concept of the Day of Judgment. This teaching is expected to strengthen students' faith and shape their behavior in accordance with religious teachings. This study aims to analyze how the teaching of the Day of Judgment in elementary schools can build children's faith. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data was collected through observation, interviews with teachers and students, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that teaching about the Day of Judgment enhances students' understanding of the afterlife and the importance of good deeds. Varied teaching methods, such as storytelling, discussions, and reflective activities, proved effective in helping students understand these abstract concepts. This learning also has a positive impact on students' attitudes and behaviors, such as increased discipline, honesty, and empathy toward others. However, there are challenges in teaching abstract concepts to children that need to be addressed with more creative and contextual approaches.
