Abstract

Islamic education plays a strategic role in integrating knowledge development, character formation, and the holistic strengthening of students’ spiritual aspects. Teachers, particularly homeroom teachers, function not only as formal educators but also as spiritual mentors who cultivate religious habits through daily engagement. This study aims to examine the role and activities of teachers in educating students’ spiritual dimensions, namely verbal devotion (qauliyah), practical worship (amaliyah), and prayer and dhikr. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected from 15 informants consisting of school leaders, homeroom teachers and assistants, mosque administrators, and students. The research utilized in‑depth interviews, document analysis, and participatory observation in which the researcher was directly involved in students’ routines. Data analysis followed systematic stages of reduction, display, and conclusion drawing, strengthened by NVivo‑assisted thematic analysis to identify major themes and subthemes. The findings reveal that teachers reinforce qauliyah through Qur’anic recitation guidance, prayer mentoring, halaqah, and role modeling in speech ethics; amaliyah through congregational prayer habituation, guided worship practice, and reward–punishment mechanisms; and prayer and dhikr through collective remembrance, reflection, short sermons, and direct teacher participation. The study implies that holistic spiritual education requires comprehensive strategies emphasizing role modeling, habituation, and active teacher involvement in students’ religious life.

Abstract

Da'wah is an important means of disseminating Islamic teachings that extends beyond the transmission of religious messages to encompass character formation and social transformation. In contemporary contexts characterized by advances in information technology, cultural plurality, and increasingly complex social issues, the personal qualities of preachers are particularly important because they serve as representatives of Quranic values in lived practice. This study aims to analyze the personal criteria of an ideal da'i in Islam through a Living Quran approach, focusing on how Quranic values are understood, internalized, and actualized in da'wah practices. The study employed a qualitative method using library research and a Living Quran approach. Data were drawn from Quranic verses related to da'wah, the hadiths of Prophet Muhammad, classical and contemporary Quranic commentaries, Islamic literature, and relevant scholarly articles and previous studies. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis with the assistance of NVivo through data familiarization, coding, theme development and review, interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the personal criteria of an ideal da'i include sincerity, extensive religious knowledge, noble character, persuasive communication skills, patience, wisdom, exemplary conduct, social sensitivity, and the ability to contextualize Quranic values in accordance with community needs. These findings indicate that the personal qualities of a preacher constitute not merely a set of normative criteria but also an actualization of Quranic values in da'wah practice. Practically, the findings highlight the importance of strengthening the spiritual, intellectual, moral, social, and communicative dimensions of preacher development to support da'wah practices that remain relevant to the dynamics of contemporary Muslim societies.
