| Summary: | The majority of Indonesian people (87.2%) are Muslim. The study aims to identify the sense of happiness in children during the implementation of religiosity through their perspectives. This study revealed majority Javanese Muslim children aged five years mentioned they felt happy when performing congregational religious practices. This finding is significant in concern with limited studies regarding positive feelings and religiosity in young children. Therefore, congregational religious practices could provide the children with social support and convenience. Parents and the surrounding environment have a significant influence on shaping this perception. Limitations and implications of the religious practices as the sources of happiness, especially for education, were included. |
