Abstract

The purpose of this study is to ystematically analyze the content of the Akidah Akhlak textbook regarding Mahabbat al-Rasul (Prophetic Love) to identify its potential role and values that stimulate the formation of students' religious identity. The research employs a qualitative wit literature review design, utilizing Content Analysis to deeply scrutinize the textual narratives, including Dalil Aqli (rational evidence) and Dalil Naqli (scriptural evidence), as presented in the textbook. The data analysis utilized the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings reveal that the Prophetic Love material acts as a crucial stimulus for religious identity formation through three main mechanisms: 1) Providing an Idol Figure (Prophet Muhammad and Ulul Azmi) that exemplifies moral behavior and patience (e.g., the story of Zayd bin Sa'na); 2) Highlighting the importance of a positive Social Environment and Reference Group (peers), essential for internalizing religious values; and 3) Emphasizing Action-Based Faith by listing exemplary behaviors (worship, seeking halal livelihood, preaching) that transform love into practical adherence. The material strongly supports Erik Erikson's theory on identity formation by providing clear roles and values during adolescence. A key limitation is the reliance solely on text analysis, potentially missing the empirical context of implementation in classrooms. Future research is recommended to utilize a mixed-methods approach to empirically test the correlation between the analyzed textual values and the actual religious identity achievement among adolescent students.
