This study aims to analyze the learning strategies of the Prophet Muhammad as an educator through a pedagogical study of hadiths in Al-Adab al-Mufrad by Imam al-Bukhari and their relevance to contemporary Islamic education. This research uses a qualitative approach with library research. The primary data are hadiths from Al-Adab al-Mufrad analyzed using content analysis and descriptive-analytical methods, then contextualized with modern Islamic education theories. The results show that the Prophet implemented various effective and transformative learning strategies, including demonstration (direct practice), gradual learning (tadarruj), dialogue (hiwar), storytelling (qashash), role modeling (qudwah), habituation and practice (mumārasah wa al-‘amal), and the method of ‘ibrah wa mau‘izhah. These strategies proved capable of comprehensively shaping the companions' character, covering cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. Their relevance to contemporary Islamic education lies in the urgency of strengthening character education and internalizing adab values to face modern challenges such as moral crises, ethical degradation, and technological disruption. Thus, the Prophet's learning strategies in Al-Adab al-Mufrad can serve as a conceptual and practical foundation for developing Islamic education models oriented towards noble character and strong spiritual awareness.
