<![CDATA[The increasing prevalence of emotional and mental health problems among adolescents highlights the need to strengthen emotional education through values that support character development. Islamic ethical values offer a moral foundation that can contribute to emotional development, one of which is reflected in the book Maaf Tuhan, Aku Hampir Menyerah by Alfialghazi. This study aims to analyze the forms of Islamic ethical values based on Imam Al-Ghazali's concept of Fadhā'il al-Arba' in the book and to examine their function in strengthening emotional education. This research employed a qualitative library research approach using content analysis. The primary data were obtained from the book Maaf Tuhan, Aku Hampir Menyerah, while secondary data were collected from books, journal articles, and other relevant academic sources. The findings reveal that the book embodies four major Islamic ethical virtues, namely hikmah (wisdom), syaja'ah (courage), 'iffah (self-restraint), and 'adalah (justice). These values contribute to the development of five emotional education competencies: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. The study demonstrates that Imam Al-Ghazali's concept of Fadhā'il al-Arba' remains relevant as a framework for strengthening emotional education through Islamic ethical values, thereby contributing to the integration of moral and emotional development in Islamic education.]]>
