Implementation of character education values in the Quran

Abstract

Character education has become a crucial issue in modern education due to the increasing moral degradation, intolerance, bullying, and misuse of digital technology among the younger generation. In this context, the Quran, as the primary source of Islamic teachings, contains relevant character education values ??for shaping individuals who are religious, honest, disciplined, responsible, and socially aware. This study aims to analyze the concept of character education from the perspective of the Quran, identify Quranic character education values, and examine the implementation and implications of Quranic interpretations for strengthening character education in the modern era. The study used a qualitative approach with a library research method. Data were obtained from Quranic verses, tafsir books, books, and relevant scientific journals, then analyzed using a descriptive-analytical method through a thematic interpretation approach (maudhu'i). The results show that character education in the Quran is based on the values ??of monotheism, morality, exemplary behavior, responsibility, tolerance, and spirituality, which are implemented through habituation, exemplary behavior, religious culture, and the integration of Quranic values ??in Islamic education. In conclusion, character education based on the interpretation of the Quran is a strategic solution in forming a generation with moral integrity, spiritual strength, and intellectual superiority in the modern era.
