This study was motivated by the importance of fostering empathy as one of the essential character values that students should possess in their social lives. Islamic Religious Education teachers play a strategic role in developing students' character through various integrated efforts implemented in classroom learning and school activities. However, some students still demonstrate a lack of concern for others, indicating the need for continuous teacher efforts to cultivate empathy. Therefore, this study aims to describe the efforts of Islamic Religious Education teachers in fostering empathy among students at MIN 7 Agam.This study employed a qualitative approach using a field research design. The research participants consisted of the principal, Aqidah Akhlak teacher, Qur'an Hadith teacher, Islamic Cultural History teacher, and students of MIN 7 Agam. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The trustworthiness of the data was ensured through source and technique triangulation.The findings reveal that Islamic Religious Education teachers foster students' empathy through five main efforts: (1) providing students with an understanding of the importance of empathy; (2) motivating students to care for others; (3) providing guidance for students who demonstrate low levels of empathy; (4) serving as role models through exemplary attitudes and daily behavior; and (5) evaluating the development of students' empathy through observation, the use of assessment indicators, and follow-up actions based on evaluation results. These five efforts are carried out continuously and systematically, contributing to the development of caring, respectful, cooperative, and morally responsible students who practice Islamic values in their daily lives.
