<![CDATA[In the current educational landscape, many madrasahs are striving to integrate character education into their curricula. Applying Al-Ghazali’s educational thought to the Aqidah Akhlaq curriculum at Madrasah Aliyah is expected to contribute positively to character education in Indonesia. This study not only explores theoretical dimensions but also offers practical recommendations for educators and policymakers in designing more effective curricula. As Raqib has argued, in-depth research on the integration of Islamic values in education can open opportunities to improve the quality of education in Muslim-majority countries. This research employs a comprehensive literature review encompassing books, articles, journals, and research reports relevant to curriculum theory, character education, and Al-Ghazali’s ideas, as well as an analysis of the operational curriculum documents of Madrasah Aliyah Tarbiyatut Tholabah. Literature analysis is an effective method for collecting extensive information and providing a broader context for the issues under investigation. The findings indicate that curriculum development informed by Al-Ghazali’s perspective significantly influences the Aqidah Akhlaq curriculum at Madrasah Aliyah Tarbiyatut Tholabah. His ethical framework is not only relevant to character formation but also supports the creation of a more conducive learning environment. These findings imply that integrating moral values into education can enhance overall educational quality and prepare a generation that is not only intellectually competent but also possesses strong moral integrity]]>
