The moral-based education model in Islam: A solution to the moral crisis in the era of globalizatio

Abstract

Morality-based education in Islam plays a fundamental role in shaping individuals and society. In the era of globalization, which presents numerous moral challenges, a morality-based education model serves as a solution to cultivate a generation that is civilized, has integrity, and is competitive. The concept of morality-based education in Islam is rooted in the values of the Qur’an and Hadith, which emphasize the importance of morality in daily life. Additionally, the thoughts of scholars such as Al-Ghazali and Ibn Khaldun reinforce this educational model as a key instrument in shaping noble character. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method with literature analysis to examine the implementation of morality-based education models in various Islamic educational institutions. The findings indicate that this model can be implemented through a curriculum based on Islamic values, a role model-based teaching method, the application of positive discipline, and collaboration between schools, families, and communities. Empirical data presented in tables and graphs reveal that applying this model effectively enhances students’ character aspects, including honesty, discipline, social awareness, and responsibility. By integrating moral values into the education system, this model contributes to developing individuals who are not only intellectually capable but also possess personalities grounded in Islamic ethics and spirituality. Morality-based education is expected to be a solution to the moral crisis affecting younger generations while strengthening Islamic civilization based on noble values
