Bullying of students is a moral and social problem that requires a prevention strategy based on moral development and control of the madrasah environment. This study aims to analyse moral education and social control in madrasahs to prevent student bullying. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study type. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation with the head of the madrasah, Akidah Akhlak teachers, Counselling Guidance teachers, homeroom teachers, parents, and students. The results of the study showed that the dominant forms of bullying were verbal and social, such as ridicule, negative nicknames, derogatory jokes, and ostracism. Moral education plays a role in shaping moral awareness through oral manners, empathy, teacher examples, learning Moral Faith, and religious habits. Madrasah social control runs through discipline, reprimands, coaching, BK services, mediation, class agreements, parental involvement, and homeroom supervision. These findings confirm that the prevention of bullying in madrassas needs to be carried out in an educational, religious, restorative, and collaborative manner.
