<![CDATA[Early Childhood Education (AUD) character education is an important foundation in shaping a person's character and faith. In the context of Islamic education, character values are deeply rooted in the teachings of the Qur'an and Hadith, one of which is systematically reflected in Q.S. Luqman verses 12–19. This study aims to examine the concept and values of ECE character education from the perspective of the Qur'an and Hadith based on these verses, as well as to analyze their relevance and implications for ECE practices. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature review, as well as a thematic interpretation analysis of Q.S. Luqman verses 12–19 with reference to classical and contemporary sources of interpretation. The results show that these verses contain a comprehensive and tiered character education framework, including the values of monotheism, gratitude, respect for parents, internal responsibility, patience, humility, politeness in speech, and social awareness. These values are strongly relevant to the objectives and approaches of AUD education and can be implemented through role modeling, habit formation, and a conducive educational environment. This study confirms that Qur'anic value-based AUD character education is both normative and applicable in the development of Islamic education.]]>
