Abstract

Qur’anic education in the contemporary era faces increasingly complex challenges due to technological advancements, changes in learning patterns, and the growing tendency toward technical and instrumental learning approaches. These conditions risk obscuring the value-laden and spiritual dimensions of the Qur’an, particularly the concept of barakah (blessing), which constitutes an inherent characteristic of revelation and a fundamental foundation in the process of Islamic education. This article aims to analyze the concept of barakah in the Qur’an and examine its relevance for the development of Qur’anic teaching methodologies in the contemporary era. This study employs a qualitative approach using a library research method, drawing on the Qur’anic text, classical and contemporary tafsir works, and academic literature related to Islamic education and Qur’anic learning methodologies. Data are collected through documentation techniques and analyzed using content analysis and descriptive qualitative methods. The findings indicate that barakah in the Qur’an encompasses integrated spiritual, epistemological, and pedagogical dimensions and plays a significant role in shaping learning that is meaningful, transformative, and sustainable. These findings extend the study of barakah from the normative-theological domain to the methodological-applicative domain, while simultaneously underscoring the urgency of integrating the value of barakah into Qur’anic teaching methodologies. The conclusion affirms that the development of barakah-based Qur’anic teaching methodologies has implications for strengthening learners’ adab, character, and spirituality, and opens avenues for further empirical research to examine its implementation and impact in educational practice.
