Moral education plays a central role in shaping an individual's character, especially amid the moral challenges that have emerged in the modern era. In Islamic teachings, the heart (qolbu) is regarded as the center of values and behavior, making its management the key to forming noble character. Heart management involves the process of cleansing it of undesirable traits, filling it with praiseworthy traits, and manifesting these in concrete actions. This study aims to examine the concept of heart management in moral education from an Islamic perspective, explain why heart management is the core of moral education, and identify the challenges and solutions for its implementation in Indonesia. This study uses the library research method, which is a research method conducted by collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data sourced from literature relevant to the research topic.The results of the study indicate that heart management is the main foundation in the formation of character. The three stages of takhalli, tahalli, and tajallim form an effective framework in character education. The findings also show the positive influence of heart-based education on the formation of students' character, although there are still challenges in its implementation in formal education environments.
