MADANIA Vol. No. June 2025 Introduction The existence of a nation lies in moral education. when moral education is strong, the nation will thrive, but when it is corrupted, the nation will face decline and destruction. Ibn Khaldun emphasized that the formation of a nation begins with al-Aoashabiyyah, or solidarity, which originated in the Prophetic era characterized by a fully Islamic identity. In a positive sense, al-Aoashabiyyah reflects ukhuwah Islamiyyah (Islamic brotherhoo. that fosters cooperation, mutual support, and prioritization of collective progress in building civilization. In a negative sense, however, it leads to fanaticism, blind partisanship, and reckless actions that neglect the principles of The principles of truth referred to are grounded in religion. Islam teaches maslahah . , goodness, honesty, justice, and trustworthinessAi qualities that can be understood as noble character . Morality permeates the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. When morality becomes the spirit of a nationAos leadership, the nation will certainly be good, progressive, and Conversely, if leaders prioritize negative Aoashabiyyah, the nation will decline, stagnate, and fail to develop. Therefore, moral education is a fundamental human need in life. 2 Larry stated that character education is essential to preserve the nationAos morals, curb violent actions, and address the incoherence between politiciansAo rhetoric and their daily behavior, emphasizing ethical and religious dimensions that are relevant to be applied.

Thus, moral education serves as an agent of change in shaping human personality, forming studentsAo character into reliable human resources, as stipulated in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 Year 2003 on the National Education System. The function of national education is to develop abilities, cultivate behavior, and build moral civilization in order to enlighten the life of the nation. As Martin Luther King4 emphasized. AuIntelligence plus characterAithat is the goal of true education. Ay In line with this. Greeley5 argued that when intellectual intelligence is balanced with good character, the objectives of education are successfully and effectively achieved. Therefore, moral education is an essential instrument for character development, shaping students into responsible and ethical individuals. This is aligned with IndonesiaAos National Education Goals, which state that the function of national education is to develop capabilities, behavior, and morality to enlighten the nationAos life. True education aims to integrate intelligence with character. When faith and knowledge are balanced, educational objectives are effectively realized, leading to individual and societal well-being, both in this world and the Hereafter. Yusuf al-Qardhawi 7 emphasized that education is the nurturing of the whole human beingAimind and heart, soul and body. This implies that in carrying out moral education, educators must integrate the intellectual and emotional, as well as the spiritual and physical dimensions of their students. Humanity was created by Allah as the most perfect of His creation, endowed with both mind and heart, soul and body, and entrusted with the role of vicegerent . on earth, as stated in the QurAoan: AuWe Martin Luther King Jr. A Gift of Love: Sermons from Strength to Love and Other Preachings, vol. 7 (Beacon Press, 2.

Education is not only about knowledge transfer but also about shaping morals and character. Law No. 20 of 2003 on the National Education System defines education as a conscious effort to develop studentsAo spirituality, personality, intelligence, noble character, and essential skills. Thomas Lickona,10 highlights three pillars of character education: knowing the good, loving the good, and doing the good, while Aristotle emphasized that character grows through consistent habits. Moral strength helps prevent negative behaviors such as promiscuity, crime, and Ahmad D Marimba. Pengantar Filsafat Pendidikan Islam. Bandung: PT. Al-MaAoarif (Bandung: Al-MaAoarif, 1. Yusuf al-Qardhawi, a leading contemporary Muslim scholar, provides significant contributions to moral education. Excelling academically at AlAzhar University, he completed his doctorate with Fiqh al-Zakah in 1973 and went on to author more than 125 influential works in various fields of Islamic thought, many translated worldwide. His teachings emphasize the integration of faith, knowledge, and morality as the foundation of human development. Therefore, this study explores the contextualization of Yusuf al-QardhawiAos concept of moral education with character education in Indonesia, emphasizing its significance for strengthening national education and advancing human civilization. Method This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach combined with critical analysis. According to Bogdan and Taylor, as cited by Moleong,13 qualitative methodology is a research procedure that produces descriptive data in the form of written or spoken words and observable behavior. The research is descriptive-qualitative in nature and utilizes library research. Library research focuses on studying, reviewing, and analyzing referencesAiboth classical and contemporaryAithat are relevant to the research topic. This method was chosen because the study aims to explore and contextualize the moral education concept of Yusuf al-Qardhawi, which requires an in-depth understanding of texts, ideas, and scholarly works. A qualitative descriptive approach allows the researcher to critically analyze and interpret al-QardhawiAos thoughts, while library research provides access to a wide range of authoritative sources that support the discussion and strengthen the validity of the findings.

These two dimensions are interrelated in constructing a holistic, philosophical, and integrative model of Islamic Moral software refers to the curriculum, programs, and activities designed to internalize ethical values, while moral hardware pertains to the educators, learners, and spiritual aspects such as supplication, remembrance of God . , and guidance that accompany the educational process. Yusuf al-QardhawiAos Moral Software In the field of education, the curriculum is an essential component of any form or model of education. Without a curriculum, it would be difficult for education planners to achieve the intended educational objectives. In Arabic, the term AucurriculumAy is referred to as manhaj or minhaj, which means a set of plans and means established by an educational institution to realize its educational goals. The curriculum cannot be understood in a narrow sense, for if it is seen merely as a teaching plan to be achieved, both educators and learners would be limited to that alone. However, in a broader sense, the curriculum encompasses all activities carried out and experienced by educators and students, whether in formal or non-formal settings, aimed at achieving educational objectives. Meanwhile, the Islamic education curriculum, as described by al-Syaibani, differs from general In Islamic education, the curriculum serves as a tool to educate the younger generation, helping them to uncover and develop their potential, talents, strengths, and skills, adequately preparing them Muhammad Ali al-Khuli.

Moral software in Yusuf al-QardhawiAos educational concept includes the curriculum, moral values, as well as educational programs and activities. The curriculum is regarded as the core of education, not merely a teaching plan, but the entirety of formal and non-formal activities experienced by educators and students to achieve educational goals. The Islamic curriculum formulated by al-Qardhawi differs from the general curriculum in that it is religion and morality oriented, comprehensive, balanced, encompassing both worldly and spiritual aspects, and designed in accordance with the potential, interests, and talents of the learners. The moral curriculum of al-Qardhawi emphasizes several key dimensions. First, morality toward Allah SWT, which encompasses sincerity, obedience, gratitude, patience, trust in Him, love and fear of Him, as well as hope in His mercy. Second, morality toward the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), namely love, obedience, and emulation of his Sunnah in words, deeds, and attitudes. Third, morality toward oneself, which includes self-purification, humility, honor, cleanliness, self-control, optimism, and the wise use of time. Fourth, morality toward other creatures, including human beings, animals, plants, inanimate objects, and even the unseen, grounded in ethical treatment and responsibility in accordance with Islamic teachings. Fifth, morality in governance, which stresses trustworthiness, justice, consultation . , knowledge, respect for human dignity, and the upholding of sharia as the foundation of a civilized Maragustam Siregar.

In terms of soft skills, he was actively engaged through sermons, lectures, seminars, study circles . , training sessions, and conferences. Regarding hard skills, he established educational institutions, utilized print and electronic media, and adopted modern digital platforms.

Yusuf al-QardhawiAos Moral Hardware Moral hardware in Yusuf al-QardhawiAos educational concept refers to the human elements that serve as both the subjects and objects of education, namely educators and learners, as well as the reinforcing components of supplication, remembrance, and advice. These two dimensions complement one another, ensuring that the idea of moral education does not remain merely theoretical but is realized in practical life. According to Ahmad Tafsir, an educator in Islam is anyone responsible for the development of learners, striving to cultivate all their potential, cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. 21 Jalaluddin notes that the Prophet Muhammad. PBUH began instilling noble character within himself, then extended it to his family and the broader community in accordance with Quranic guidance. 22 Noeng Muhadjir describes educators as the embodiment . of the values they teach.

In short, educators must be professionals. Educators are not only responsible for transferring knowledge but also serve as motivators and facilitators in the learning process. Hasan Langgulung emphasized that educators should motivate and guide students to actualize the noble attributes of Allah within themselves, developing their inherent potential. 24 In fulfilling their professional duties, educators hold three primary functions . Instructional Ae delivering lessons effectively, . Educational Ae shaping students to achieve the goals of education, . Managerial Ae leading and managing the educational process. Thus, the moral hardware in al-QardhawiAos thought serves as a vital foundation that ensures moral education is not merely theoretical, but emerges from the example set by teachers, the innate purity of learners, and spiritual reinforcement through prayer and remembrance . All of these elements render moral education fully functional as a means of shaping the insan kamil, a complete human being who is faithful, knowledgeable, and possesses noble character. The Implementation Process of Yusuf alQardhawiAos Moral Education Concept Yusuf al-QardhawiAos moral education process consists of planning, implementation, and evaluation. Planning involves the preparation of lesson units and teaching media. implementation comprises core learning activities. and evaluation includes summative, formative, cognitive, affective, and psychomotor assessments.

DOI: http://dx. org/10. 29300/madania. | 209 MADANIA Vol. No. June 2025 Planning Moral Education Lessons Yusuf al-Qardhawi emphasizes that educators, institutions, and learners are inseparable elements in the planning of moral education. Therefore, lesson preparation must include careful selection of content, teaching methods, and media that suit learnersAo 26 This resonates with curriculum guidelines in Indonesia, such as Kurikulum 2013 and Permendikbud No. 65/2013, which integrate knowledge, attitudes, and skills into both syllabus and lesson plans. The Prophet MuhammadAos practice also demonstrates the importance of teaching aids. Although he was ummi, he often used symbols and illustrations to explain concepts, such as drawing a straight line to represent AllahAos path (Q. AlAnAoam . This prophetic method is cited by al-Qardhawi . as a basis for educators to employ media traditional or digital to stimulate learnersAo cognition, motivation, and emotional engagement. Das. Rochdito, and Cooper . underline that syllabi and lesson plans must be prepared before instruction begins, as they serve as an Auaction planAy for teaching. 27Similarly. Gagne and Briggs28 regard instructional design as a system in which objectives, methods, and assessment are interconnected, ensuring coherence between shortterm and long-term lesson design. A lesson plan, therefore, is not a static document but a dynamic tool that guides teachers to organize learning objectives, teaching strategies, and assessment techniques. Ormrod30 stresses that planning must consider learnersAo age, characteristics, and developmental stages to ensure effective In this sense, al-QardhawiAos emphasis Al-Qardhawi. Ar-Rasul Wa Al-Ilm. Ahmad Rohani and Abu Ahmadi. Pengelolaan Pengajaran. Jakarta. Rineka Cipta (Jakarta: Rineka Cpta, 1. on systematic planning places moral education within a broader pedagogical framework that combines technical preparation with ethical orientation. Implementation of Learning The implementation stage realizes the syllabus and lesson plans into structured activities. Preliminary learning prepares students by fostering motivation and respect for diversity, while core activities encourage inquiry and discovery. Lessons should progress from simple to complex, enabling students to connect prior knowledge with new Closing activities consolidate learning through reflection and reinforcement, ensuring that knowledge, skills, and values are retained. These stages embody al-QardhawiAos educational methods, which include self-restraint, practice, guidance . , storytelling, role modeling, and the balance of rewards and punishments. Evaluation is an integral component of this Inspired by the ProphetAos practice of encouraging learners to articulate their understanding, al-Qardhawi regards assessment as both formative and summative, encompassing the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. BloomAos taxonomy further reinforces this perspective by providing a framework that ensures moral education develops balanced capacities in knowledge, attitudes, and skills. 32 Thus, evaluation serves not merely as a tool to measure achievement but also as a mechanism to refine curricula and enhance instructional practice. Scholars of education argue that learning should always begin with meaningful experiences that connect to studentsAo backgrounds. 33 Supports discovery and problem-based learning approaches, which encourage students to actively construct knowledge rather than receive it passively.

Nazarmanto: Contextualization of Yusuf al-QardhawiAos Concept of Moral Education aligns with al-QardhawiAos idea that moral values are best cultivated through active practice and experiential learning. Closing activities, as noted by Wina Sanjaya,35 provide opportunities for reflection that integrate cognitive and affective aspects of learning. Reinforcement and feedback are also essential, as Bruner . and later meta-analyses confirm that positive reinforcement significantly enhances mastery and motivation. 36 Thus, al-QardhawiAos implementation model is consistent with both Islamic tradition and modern pedagogical research. Management of Learning Classroom management, according to alQardhawi, is central to creating a conducive environment where students feel comfortable and motivated. A harmonious and orderly setting supports active participation and development, while disorder undermines learning outcomes. Contemporary educational theorists likewise argue that effective management should focus less on external control and more on fostering self-discipline and collaboration. Beyond technical organization, al-Qardhawi integrates spirituality as a dimension of moral Practices such as prayer, remembrance . , and sincere advice . reinforce the moral formation of educators and learners alike. This aligns with al-GhazaliAos perspective that supplication purifies the heart, strengthens virtues, and repels harmful influences. Trianto Ibnu Badar Al-Tabany.

Islamic education must also prepare learners to face emerging issues such as digital ethics, cultural pluralism, and social justice. Hashim and Langgulung39 argue that education should not only preserve tradition but also equip students with critical competencies to engage modern challenges. Al-QardhawiAos synthesis of classical principles with modern pedagogical insights thus provides a model that is contextually adaptive and globally relevant. Output and Outcome of Moral Education According to Yusuf al-Qardhawi The discussion on the implementation process of moral education in Yusuf al-QardhawiAos thought would be incomplete without considering its tangible results. Moral education, as envisioned by al-Qardhawi, is not merely a theoretical framework but a practical system that produces clear outputs in studentsAo daily lives and long-term outcomes in their personal and social development. These two dimensions, output and outcome reflect the effectiveness of moral education in shaping both immediate behavior and enduring character. Output of Moral Education Moral education nurtures studentsAo faith and piety in Allah SWT. Yusuf al-Qardhawi states that the primary purpose of moral education is to cultivate individuals or students who have faith in Allah SWT. 40When moral education is implemented correctly, from its input to the teaching process, it produces commendable outcomes students who uphold tawhid and embody piety toward Allah. Imam al-Ghazali emphasizes that when moral education is taught through a sincere and gradual process, it inevitably shapes Muslim personalities with purity of soul and noble character, drawing them closer to Allah.

Ibn Khaldun42asserts that moral education enables humans to know Allah and affirm His oneness, thereby elevating their spiritual state. Moral education also cultivates noble character in students. Yusuf al-Qardhawi states that when individuals develop faith, obedience, and certainty in Allah SWT, such faith inevitably leads to noble This implies that consistent moral education at school, delivered by teachers, instills virtuous behavior in students, enabling them to apply moral values in their interactions with They are expected to display sincerity, honesty, humility, compassion, discipline, courtesy, moderation, balance, tolerance, and other noble Hamka concurs, stating that education itself is essentially Islamic education, as its purpose is to shape character, morality, and personal integrity so that learners can distinguish between right and morals are inherently tied to human life, governing interactions with others and all of AllahAos creations. Morality accompanies individuals wherever and whenever they are, in any place or circumstance, encompassing both material and spiritual dimensions, for its ultimate purpose is to cultivate true humanity. 44 This indicates that the outcomes of moral education extend beyond immediate or short-term benefits. they encompass long-term impacts that endure after students graduate, start families, and integrate into society. Students who have internalized moral values during their schooling will continue to apply them in broader contexts. They will maintain their faith and tawhid, remain diligent in worship, and consistently observe the five daily prayersAia reflection of the moral training ingrained during their education. Over time, such practices become habitual, eventually transforming into intrinsic needs. Students imbued with noble character practice sincerity in learning and completing school assignments, assist others without expecting anything in return, and express honesty by speaking truthfully without exaggeration or deceit. They demonstrate humility by refraining from arrogance regarding their intelligence or wealth, show compassion and politeness in their speech, and uphold consultation, peace, and tolerance. Furthermore, they develop a strong sense of discipline punctual in their studies, attendance, and submission of assignments. cooperative in group consistent in performing prayers on time. and committed to collective activities within the school environment. Discipline permeates all aspects of their behavior. Imam al-Ghazali explains that habitual training in moral upbringing instills positive behavioral patterns in children, helping them avoid negative conduct. 45 Thus, good moral habits cultivated early in life influence individuals permanently. Even after leaving school, marrying, and rejoining the wider community, they continue to worship Allah SWT and embody noble moral values in their family and social lives.

Nazarmanto: Contextualization of Yusuf al-QardhawiAos Concept of Moral Education be separated from an understanding of moral and character values. Values of Moral Education Moral education teaches various educational materials to students. Sidiq states that the materials/ values of moral education are divided into two types: morals toward Allah and morals toward other Furthermore, he explains that morals toward other creatures are further divided into morals toward humans and morals toward other Morals toward humans are divided into morals toward oneself and morals toward others. Thus, overall, morals can be categorized as morals toward the Creator. Allah SWT, morals toward other creatures, and morals toward oneself. There are seven essential elements of Islamic education: . Faith Education, . Moral Education, . Physical Education, . Intellectual Education, . Spiritual/Conscience Education, . Social Education, and . Sexual Education. These elements reflect a holistic approach to the formation of human character, ensuring that moral education is integrated with other aspects of personal and social development. Yusuf al-Qardhawi, in developing moral education, refers to values derived from divine revelation, as all his writings are rooted in revelation, which he then contextualizes with the culture and behavior of everyday society. This intellectual orientation cannot be separated from al-QardhawiAos life background. Growing up in a religious social environment, he was shaped by an atmosphere of tolerance toward different schools of thought, a trait also emphasized within his family. Consequently, al-Qardhawi adopted a moderate and adaptive approach to change, believing that not all transformations are inherently negative but should be assessed in light of their benefits. This perspective allowed him to embrace globalization and digitalization, as reflected in his work Islam and Globalization. Values of Character Education Character education in the Indonesian context is value education, aiming to cultivate the noble values rooted in Indonesian culture to shape the personalities of the younger generation. Based on studies of religious norms, social norms, legal norms, academic ethics, and human rights principles, five main value dimensions have been identified: human behavioral values in relation to God Almighty, oneself, fellow humans, the environment, and the nation. Instilling character values requires three aspects: affective, cognitive, and psychomotor. Thomas Lickona, a prominent contemporary figure in character education, argues that there is a dichotomy between character education and religious education, and that the two should remain For him, basic values must be upheld if society is to continue living and working peacefully. The values prioritized in character education include wisdom, respect for others, personal responsibility, mutual compassion, and peaceful conflict resolution. The Ministry of National Education has announced 18 Character Education Values for building the nationAos character through education in schools and madrasahs: religiosity, honesty, tolerance, discipline, hard work, creativity, independence, democracy, curiosity, nationalism, patriotism, appreciation of achievement, communication, love of peace, reading enthusiasm, environmental care, social care, and These values demonstrate that character education in Indonesia aims to build well-rounded individuals, encompassing divine, personal, social, environmental, and national dimensions. According to Islam, the ultimate goal of character education is to shape individuals with noble morals, as noble morals are the foundation of goodness. People with noble morals strive to do good and avoid wrongdoing. Masnur Muslich, " Pendidikan Karakter Menjawab Tantangan Krisis Multidimensional " (Jakarta: Bumi Aksara, 2. Happy Syafaat Sidiq.

Integrating character education with moral education is essential, provided that both share the understanding that knowledge must ultimately be rooted in divine laws, and professional competence developed through formal education must be aligned with faith and devotion to God.
