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

The international dormitory environment in the Middle East not only serves as a place of residence, but also as a complex socio-cultural and religious space for foreign students. As a residential area, dormitories offer various activities to foster social, emotional, and spiritual intelligence among students. This study aims to explore how various activities in dormitories can be a medium for the practice of religious moderation education. This study uses a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. Data sources were obtained through in-depth individual and group interviews with twenty-five foreign students from five countries, namely Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Nigeria, and Bangladesh. All informants were foreign students living in university international dormitories. To strengthen the interview data, the researchers also conducted direct observations of the activities carried out, and even participated for one year in various activities of foreign students at the research site. All data were analyzed thematically using the qualitative software NVivo 12. The research findings reveal that religious moderation values such as tolerance, empathy, and respect for differences are not taught through formal programs but grow organically and are constructed through interactions in seven dormitory activities, namely i) cultural festivals, ii) clubs or communities, iii) volunteer activities, iv) mentorship programs, v) worship or religious rituals, vi) spiritually-based community service activities, vii) spiritual discussion groups. This finding provides a perspective for universities to function dormitories not only as a place to live, but as an inclusive environment that naturally fosters religious moderation.
