This study aims to analyze the concept of Tazkiyatun Nafs (purification of the soul) from an Islamic perspective and its urgency in shaping the personality of Islamic boarding school students (santri). Tazkiyatun Nafs is understood as a continuous process of cleansing the heart from negative traits and adorning it with noble character based on the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah. In Islamic education, character formation cannot rely solely on the transfer of knowledge but must be accompanied by sustained spiritual development. This research employs a qualitative approach using a library research method by examining Qur’anic verses, scholarly literature, and relevant previous studies. The findings indicate that Tazkiyatun Nafs plays a strategic role as an internal foundation in developing the moral, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of students. Its implementation in Islamic boarding schools includes the habituation of worship practices, self-reflection (muhasabah), exemplary leadership of religious teachers, and a disciplined and modest lifestyle. Furthermore, Tazkiyatun Nafs functions as a form of “spiritual immunization” that strengthens students’ resilience against moral crises, negative technological influences, and social pressures in modern society. Therefore, integrating Tazkiyatun Nafs into Islamic educational systems is essential to cultivate morally upright, spiritually strong, and principled generations
