Abstract


This community service program assisted 15 children of Taman Pendidikan Al-Quran Manarul Huda, Tanjung Baru Timur, North Lampung (aged 712 years) in writing Letters to Allah containing their personal religious experiences and heartfelt confessions. The solution or implementation method was carried out simply on 22 November 2025 for 90 minutes through several stages: introduction to the concept of personal religious experience using a short story about Al-Ghazali and William James, distribution of coloured paper and cute envelopes, guided free writing, voluntary reading of the letters, and storage of the letters in a special Mailbox for Allah placed permanently in the TPA premises. The service successfully produced 12 original and deeply touching letters written by the children. The observed impacts included increased courage among the children to express their religious feelings, greater enthusiasm for Quranic studies, and reports from TPA administrators that the children more frequently talked about Allah at home. The outputs obtained were a permanent mailbox in the TPA, a digital photo album containing all the childrens letters, and a simple implementation guide document that can be easily replicated by other TPAs without significant cost.
