Islamic Spiritual Character Values of al-Zarnūjī’s Taʻlīm al-Mutaʻallim

Abstract

In terms of being a person with noble characters, actualisation of Islamic values is considered as an important effort to build and instil Islamic ideology as the way of life, since the development of human character in Islam is mostly a process of absorbing one’s passion towards such values. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the pattern of Islamic character values in the light of al-Zarn?j?’s Ta?lim al-Muta?allim, which has been used among the Muslim countries as the main principles of educational implementation, mainly in Islamic institutions. Several literature studies obtained were analyzed using descriptive analysis. The result of this study reveals that there are some character values in term of Islamic pattern. Finally, this study is expected to contribute to the concept of Islamic character values, being the fundamental dimension to instill the human soul with spiritual character values, and consequently become the significant assimilation based on Quran and Hadith.
