This study aims to analyze the role of the Banjarmasin Student Association (IKMABAN) in strengthening Islamic Religious Education values among university students in Banjarmasin, including its educational programs, inhibiting factors, and implications for students’ religious attitudes and character. This field study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving IKMABAN administrators and members selected purposively. The data were analyzed interactively through data reduction, data display, conclusion drawing, and verification.
The findings show that IKMABAN functions as a non-formal educational space through Islamic studies, collective prayers, religious habituation, habsy training, Islamic commemorations, administrators’ role modeling, and social activities such as charity, community service, fundraising, and social engagement. These activities contribute to strengthening students’ faith, worship practices, moral conduct, responsibility, fraternity, tolerance, and social concern. Nevertheless, the role is not implemented uniformly or continuously because it is affected by academic commitments, unstable member participation, limited funding and facilities, diverse member backgrounds, and the influence of social media. The study confirms that IKMABAN serves not only as a forum for social networking but also as an environment for character formation and the practice of Islamic values through organizational experiences and community service.
