Of course the integration of Islamic teachings into the curriculum that will be carried out by educators as an effort to strengthen character.
It is balanced with the ability of teachers to understand the teachings of Islam it self based on the Al-Quran and Hadish, lack of understanding of educators about the teachings of Islam itself, so efforts to strengthen the character can not be achieved.
Islam always positions character formation children on the main pillars of educational goals that are aligned with the background of the need to apply character education in schools.
To create a large, dignified and respected nation by the world, a good society is needed starting from character building.
One of the ways to develop character or character is through a process education in schools by implementing value-inculcation moral values in each subject matter.

Islam and character are inseparable things.
Islam strongly emphasizes the importance of character.
Starting from someone waking up to going back to sleep, the ethics are regulated, there are prayers that are read.
Character is a characteristic that distinguishes one human from another.
Character is the basic thing that every human has.
Character is interpreted as a way of thinking and behaving that is unique to each individual to live and work together in the family, community, nation and state.
Good character individuals are individuals who can make decisions and are ready to take responsibility for the consequences of their decisions.
Character is not inherited, but something that is built on an ongoing basis through the process of education both informal, formal and non-formal (Isbandiyah, 2019: .
At present in various countries in general have shown moral degradation, especially in countries that are predominantly Muslim, especially in Indonesia.
One of them is the character crisis in the world of education which is shown by the behavior of students who often play truant, the proliferation of cheating culture, cases of student brawl, between students bullying each other, free sex between students, students as drug dealers and consumers of drugs, students bullying and persecuting teachers , etc.
sometimes student behavior cannot be accepted by common sense ( Suryanti, 2018:.

Islam and the Strengthening of Character.

Discussion Islamic teachings Islam is the most ideal and most suitable rules for human behavior and habits, both related to the nature of the microcosm or the nature of the macrocosm.
One of the features of Islamic rule is that it relies more on the Qur'an and Sunnah than many sources of knowledge.
Islam is a perfect role model in every word.
Islam places humans in a broad concept with the assumption that humans have basic features such as reason, mind, and spirit which are then filled with various skills (Gulen, 2015:.
Religion is one source of value for humans, especially for adherents.
For Muslims, the first source of teachings is Al-Qur'an Al-Karim.
This book contains information, values, and norms.
Much information is only known by Muslims by referring to the verses of the Al-Karim Al-Karim.
Among other things, information about the names and attributes of God, life after death, a picture of heaven and hell, the presence of creatures around humans that are not visible to the eye in the form of angels and jinns, and all human actions are recorded by angels, positive actions and negative.
Thus, this religion has a power that is not possessed by science.
Religion becomes a source of knowledge .
needed by humans, in addition to knowledge obtained through the mind.
The second source of Islamic teachings is the Hadith or Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad.
The Prophet became the guide of the ummah in understanding and implementing the teachings of Islam as well as being the best model.
In Islam it is mentioned that the Prophet Muhammad had a great character: wainnaka la Aoala khuluqin azim (Surah Al-Qalam: .
The Prophet's exemplary morals include maintaining trust, being trustworthy, socializing and communicating effectively with humanity according to his dignity, helping fellow human beings in goodness, glorifying guests, avoiding quarrels, understanding values and norms, maintaining ecosystem balance, and deliberating in all matters for the common good.
The existence of the Prophet as the messenger of Allah to mankind can be in essence seen from his remarks: "Verily I (Muhamma.
was sent to the world solely for the sake of perfecting the morals of mankind" .
l-Hadit.
The words of the Prophet above show nothing else that human life should rely on all positive behavior and commendable actions (Gulen, 2015:.
This shows.
Islamic values are not limited to be known by the people, but also practiced which in turn gives birth to a distinctive personality.
Muslim communities in various parts of the world are characterized, for example, by a friendly attitude.
Personality as a mirror of understanding and appreciation of religious teachings expressed by the Prophet.
with his saying, ad-Din husn al-khulq (Religion is marked by noble characte.
Islamic Religious Education in schools has made a major contribution in introducing Islamic teachings to students, and strengthening their awareness as Muslims.
Today, educated Muslims in Indonesia feel proud of their religious beliefs.
The virtues of Islamic teachings are increasingly revealed and becoming more evident from day to day as science and technology progress.
The contact of students with religious messages through formal education institutions is felt as a form of concern from the state.
Introducing religious values and norms is part of the teacher's job.
There are so many units of values related to divinity .
xplaining hablun minallah: human relations with Go.
and humanity .
ablun minannas: explaining relations between human being.
in the Al-Qur'an 'Karim and the Nabawi Hadith.
Thus, students need to be guided to identify these values and Here are some sample values.
The following verse confirms.
God is One.
This religious belief is the main principle and basic value in Islam.
This value gives strength, enthusiasm, optimism, and many other positive influences on the faithful.
And your God is God Almighty, there is no god but He, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
l-Baqarah / 2:
The following verse teaches caring for others: So whoever gives .
is wealth in the way of Alla.
and is pious, and justifies .
he rewar.
is the best .
, then We will make it easy for him the way to ease .
l-Lail / 92: 5-.
The religious values mentioned above need to be spelled out in the form of regulations and guidelines for student activities in the classroom, in the school environment, and outside the school.
A very good example is student activities during the month of Ramadan.
Schools or classes take advantage of the momentum of Ramadan by holding iftar events together (Arraiyyah,2013:.
Character building The concept of character education actually has existed since time Rasulullah SAW.
This is evident from God's command that the task first and foremost the Messenger of Allah is as a perfection of morals for his people.
Discussion of the substance of the meanings of the same characters with the concept of morality in Islam, both of them discuss about human Al-Ghazali explained if morals are an attitude rooted in the soul from which various births were born actions easily and easily without the need for thought and consideration.
While the meaning of character are typical values .
now the value of goodness, want to do good, real good life, and good impact on the environmen.
which is inscribed in and manifested in behavior.
Characters coherently radiate from the results of thought, if the heart, sports, as well as if the taste and intention a person or group of people.
Discussion of the basic understanding between morals and the characters above indicate the same substance of meaning namely the problem of human morals.
knowledge of values which are good, which is supposed to be owned by someone and is reflected in each his behavior and deeds.
This behavior is the result of consciousness himself.
Someone who has good values in his soul and can apply it in everyday life called a person of character or character.
Morals or character in Islam is the main target in education.
This can be seen from some of the hadith of the prophet explain the virtues of moral education one of them the following hadith: "teach your children good, and educate they".
The concept of education in Islam views that humans are born with carrying outward potential namely: .
potential do good to nature, .
the potential to do damage to nature, .
divine potential which has non-physical functions.
The three potentials are then handed back its development to humans.
This then led to the concept of a holistic approach in Islamic education that includes elements of knowledge, morals and creed.
More broadly.
Ibn Faris explained that the concept of education in Islam is to guide someone by paying attention all the pedagogical potential it has, through stages appropriate, to educate his soul, his morals, his intellect, his physical, religion, socio-political sense, economy, beauty, and the spirit of jihad.
Islam always positions character formation children on the main pillars of educational goals that are aligned with the background of the need to apply character education in schools.
To create a large, dignified and respected nation by the world, a good society is needed starting from character building.
One of the ways to develop character or character is through a process education in schools by implementing value-inculcation moral values in each subject matter.
(Ainiyah, 2013:.

orship and muamala.
which is based on the condition of aqidah that is sturdy and relies on Al-Qur'an and al-Sunna (Hadit.
Ibn Maskawaih .
-421 / 932-1.
defines morals as "a state of the soul which causes it to perform its actions without thinking or deliberation, "the state of the soul which thereby causes it to arise acts without deep thought or consideration '.
The same definition is also said by Imam al-Ghazali as follows (Arifin, 2002: .
: "Morality is a state of nature embedded in the soul from it actions appear easily, without need thoughts and considerations ".
The same category is also referred to by Basil Mitchell.

The system of Islamic teachings is grouped into three parts, namely the aqidah section .
, shari'ah part .
