Abstract

Character education is a fundamental aspect of the Islamic education system that aims to shape a holistic human being, not only in terms of intellect but also moral and spiritual dimensions. In the context of the current moral crisis affecting today’s youth, the thoughts of classical scholars such as Imam Al-Ghazali have become essential references to revitalize educational values. This study aims to examine the concept of character education in the thought of Imam Al-Ghazali and analyze its relevance to the modern Islamic education system. This research is qualitative in nature using a library research approach. The population includes all of Al-Ghazali’s writings related to education and ethics. The primary sample analyzed in depth is his monumental work Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din, which contains Al-Ghazali’s conceptual framework on soul purification (tazkiyat al-nafs), character development, and methods of value internalization. The instruments used are documentation techniques, data reduction, concept categorization, and content analysis of primary and secondary texts. The results show that Al-Ghazali viewed character education as a process of perfecting the soul through the instillation of faith, controlling desires, and habituating virtuous conduct through exemplary modeling and self-reflection (muhasabah). This concept remains relevant in addressing the challenges of modern Islamic education, particularly in forming well-rounded, ethical, and spiritually grounded students. This study recommends integrating Al-Ghazali’s values of character education into the curriculum and educational practices of contemporary Islamic institutions.

Abstract

The digital era presents a disruptive challenge for character education, where conventional learning methods often fail to resonate with the interests of the digital native generation and trigger the phenomenon of student moral degradation that is increasingly rampant. Therefore, innovative pedagogical strategies are needed that are able to bridge these gaps by integrating religious values through visual-narrative media that are relevant to the student ecosystem. This study aims to: 1) Analyze the implementation strategy of digital storytelling in PAI learning. 2) Identify the Content of Religious Character Values Integrated in PAI Learning. 3) Evaluate the Implications of Media Use on Student Responses and Behaviors. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design at Madrasah Ibtidaiah Hidayatus Shibyan, where data is collected through in-depth interviews, participant observations, and documentation and analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana interactive models. The results of the study show that: 1) The implementation strategy is carried out systematically through careful narrative content planning, curriculum integration, and school culture habituation supported by the active role of teachers as facilitators; 2) The content of the main character's values that have been successfully internalized includes aspects of piety, honesty, politeness, helping, and love for the Apostle; and 3) The use of digital storytelling has significant implications in increasing students' cognitive attention, deepening value appreciation, and encouraging the transformation of affective behavior into concrete moral principles in daily life.
