Abstract

This study is motivated by the moral and ethical crisis affecting the younger generation due to the weakening of spiritually-based character education. The article aims to formulate a modern character education model grounded in Sufi teachings, particularly the thought of Imam Al-Junaid Al-Baghdadi, as a solution to moral degradation. The scope covers character education concepts from a Sufi perspective, foundational values underlying character formation, and their implementation in contemporary education. The method employed is a conceptual study with a textual and critical approach to Al-Junaid’s works and literature on Sufism and character education. Findings reveal that character education according to Al-Junaid emphasizes heart purification, controlling base desires, and instilling tauhid as the main foundation. The implementation of values such as patience, sincerity, contentment, and asceticism can shape morally upright individuals with spiritual-social balance, relevant to overcoming modern educational challenges. This model offers a holistic alternative for shaping today’s generation's character.

Abstract

Orientalist studies of the Qur’an have generally been dominated by historical-philological approaches and textual criticism, often overlooking the spiritual dimension of revelation. In this context, Thomas Cleary’s thought offers an alternative approach by emphasizing inner spirituality, universal ethics, and the transformation of consciousness in understanding the Qur’an. This study aims to analyze the forms of Thomas Cleary’s spiritual approach, the factors that contributed to its emergence, and its impact on the understanding of the Qur’an from an orientalist perspective. This research employs a qualitative method with a critical analytical approach toward Cleary’s major work, The Essential Koran (1998), supported by a literature review of relevant academic sources. The findings reveal that Cleary understands the Qur’an as a text of universal spiritual wisdom that functions as an ethical guide and a means of inner transformation, rather than merely a legal document or an object of historical criticism. This approach is shaped by Cleary’s multidisciplinary intellectual background and his belief in the universality of spiritual messages across religious traditions. The conclusion of this study confirms that Cleary’s spiritual approach offers a significant dialogical contribution to Qur’anic studies, although it still requires a critical reading in order to avoid reducing the epistemological and theological distinctiveness of the Qur’an within the Islamic tradition.
