Abstract

Seeking knowledge is a fundamental obligation in Islam that encompasses intellectual, moral, and spiritual dimensions, positioning learning as both an educational process and an act of worship. This study aims to analyze the concept and practice of students’ pursuit of knowledge in Islam and to construct an Islamic educational framework for character formation. Using a qualitative approach with the living Quran and Hadith method, data were drawn from the Quran, Hadith, scholarly interpretations, expert opinions, and previous studies published in reputable international journals. Thematic analysis was conducted through Miles and Huberman’s interactive technique to identify recurring patterns and values. The findings reveal six essential concepts and practices for students in seeking knowledge: sincere intention for Allah, ethics toward teachers, diligence and perseverance, reliance on Allah, avoidance of sinful acts, and supplication. These elements highlight the integration of spirituality, ethics, and discipline in Islamic pedagogy. The study concludes that these six principles provide a practical framework for Islamic character education, offering guidance for educators and institutions to cultivate students with noble character and integrity in diverse educational contexts.

Abstract

Program Pembangunan Tamadun Masyarakat Asli (PETAMA) established by Yayasan Pahang in 1998, was designed to cultivate knowledgeable and capable leaders among Malaysia’s Indigenous Peoples, enabling them to achieve parity with other ethnic groups. PETAMA graduates are expected to serve as da’i and spiritual guides within their communities. This study investigates the religious and educational approaches applied in PETAMA to enhance the quality of life and spiritual awareness of the Indigenous Children subgroup of Malaysia’s Indigenous Peoples. Using a qualitative ethnographic design, data were collected through in-depth individual and group interviews with 30 PETAMA students from the Indigenous Children community. Thematic analysis was conducted using NVivo12 software. Findings reveal ten key approaches: i) formal religious education, ii) religious activities, iii) training and development of da’i, iv) spiritual counseling and mentoring, v) application of Islamic values in daily life, vi) collaboration with religious institutions, vii) formal education, viii) moral and religious education, ix) educational technology and innovation, and x) academic mentoring. These findings provide initial empirical insights into the role of PETAMA in shaping religious education among Indigenous children in Malaysia and serve as a foundation for future research on indigenous education, cultural integration, and spiritual development.
