<![CDATA[This article examines the concept of patience, or ṣabr, in Sūrat al-‘Aṣr and its relevance for Islamic character education. While patience is often treated as a personal virtue of endurance, this study argues that Sūrat al-‘Aṣr offers a broader ethical framework in which patience is inseparable from faith, righteous action, truthfulness, and collective moral responsibility. Using a qualitative library-based method and ethical-hermeneutical analysis, the article engages classical and contemporary interpretations of ṣabr and connects them with current debates on character education, moral resilience, and Islamic pedagogy. The findings suggest that patience should be reframed as an active ethical disposition that cultivates moral agency, spiritual discipline, emotional resilience, and social responsibility. The article further proposes that Islamic character education requires pedagogical models that integrate Qur’anic ethics, teacher role modelling, habituation, reflective learning, and narrative-based moral formation. This study contributes to the development of a more integrative framework for Islamic character education rooted in Qur’anic moral reasoning.]]>
