This study examines the formation of noble character (akhlak mulia) through the habituation of transformative spirituality among cadres of the Ikatan Mahasiswa Muhammadiyah (IMM) at Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Ampel Surabaya (UINSA). The research employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, involving 20 IMM cadres as informants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies. The findings reveal that transformative spirituality habituation encompassing daily prayers, dhikr, Quran recitation, and spiritual mentoring sessions significantly contributes to character development among IMM cadres. Three interconnected mechanisms were identified: internal spiritual purification (tazkiyatun nafs), social actualization through organizational service, and intellectual integration of Islamic values into academic pursuits. The study concludes that systematic and structured spiritual habituation within the IMM organizational framework effectively cultivates noble character, manifested in honesty, responsibility, empathy, and leadership ethics. These findings contribute to Islamic education scholarship by demonstrating how organizational spiritual practices can serve as transformative character formation platforms in higher education contexts.
