Abstract

Integrating ethical principles into curricula is crucial for nurturing moral development among students. This study explores the foundational role of Islamic epistemology in shaping knowledge acquisition and ethical conduct. The study investigates ethical curriculum practices in Islamic education through a qualitative research approach combining literature review and content analysis. Islamic epistemology, rooted in Quranic revelations, Prophetic traditions, and scholarly interpretations, delineates knowledge's sources and ethical dimensions. Islamic scholars distinguish between revealed and acquired knowledge, with revelation serving as the cornerstone. The Quran and Hadith provide guidance on faith, morality, and conduct, complemented by reason ('aql/عقل) for critical inquiry and ethical discernment. Drawing from the synthesis of revelation and reason, Islamic ethics guides individual conduct, social interactions, and environmental stewardship. Ethical curriculum development entails integrating Islamic values across academic disciplines, facilitated by pedagogical approaches such as experiential learning, cooperative inquiry, and Socratic dialogue. Challenges including curricular alignment, teacher training, and cultural sensitivity exist, yet ethical curriculum development rooted in Islamic epistemology offers opportunities to cultivate ethical consciousness and foster global citizenship. Upholding methodological rigor and ethical considerations ensures validity and reliability, respecting diverse cultural and religious perspectives. This study underscores the need for further research and collaboration to advance ethical education practices grounded in Islamic principles, responsive to evolving learner needs and fostering ethical leadership in an interconnected world.

Abstract

This study investigates the concept of labour dignity in Islamic ethical teachings, focusing on how foundational Islamic texts conceptualize the rights and responsibilities of workers and employers. While numerous studies address Islamic economic principles or general labour rights, few have examined labour dignity specifically through an ethical lens that integrates both classical sources and contemporary applications. This research aims to fill that gap by systematically analyzing how Islamic principles—drawn from the Qur'an, Hadith, and Islamic jurisprudence—can inform modern work ethics and labour practices. The study adopts a qualitative content analysis approach, using targeted keywords such as Islamic labour ethics, the dignity of work in Islam, and social justice in Islamic thought to review relevant primary and secondary literature. The findings indicate that Islam upholds labour dignity through core values such as fair compensation, mutual respect, social responsibility, and anti-exploitation norms. Workers are regarded not merely as economic agents but as participants in spiritual and communal growth, while employers are ethically obligated to ensure just treatment. The study contributes to Islamic labour ethics scholarship by bridging religious doctrines with contemporary socio-economic discourse, offering theoretical insight and practical recommendations for promoting equity and justice in diverse labour environments.
