This study aims to analyze the impact of Fiqh al-ibadah understanding and religious motivation on students’ worship consistency at pesantren and home, and to test the difference in worship consistency between the two contexts. The study employed a pure quantitative approach with a non-experimental, correlational-predictive, and paired comparative design in which impact refers to statistical prediction rather than experimental causation. The population was all female junior high school-level (MTs/SMP) students at Darul Ihsan Islamic Boarding School (pesantren), Madiun, East Java, and total sampling was applied, so that all 54 eligible students became the sample, with none excluded before analysis. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, multiple linear regression, and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results show that Fiqh al-ibadah understanding and religious motivation had no significant impact on worship consistency at pesantren, either simultaneously or partially (F = 1.895, p = 0.161; R² = 0.069). At home, both variables simultaneously had a significant impact (F = 8.576, p < 0.001; R² = 0.252), with religious motivation having a positive impact and Fiqh al-ibadah understanding having a negative impact. Worship consistency also differed significantly between pesantren (mean = 51.04) and home (mean = 43.81) (Z = -5.709, p < 0.001). It is concluded that higher religious motivation is associated with greater worship consistency at home, while the negative impact of Fiqh al-ibadah understanding should be interpreted cautiously given the limited reliability of the instrument.
