Building Character Through Learning the Qur'an and Hadith: A Holistic Approach of Education

Abstract

Character education plays a crucial role in student development, especially in the context of Islamic education based on the values of the Qur'an and Hadith. This study aims to examine the role of learning the Qur'an and Hadith in building student character through a holistic approach. The research method used is literature study and qualitative analysis, focusing on learning practices in several educational institutions that implement the Qur'an and Hadith-based curriculum. The results show that learning the Qur'an and Hadith contributes significantly to the development of three main aspects of student character: spiritual, social and ethical. Spiritual character is built through a deep understanding and practice of religious teachings, while social character is strengthened through the values of togetherness and empathy taught in the Hadith. In addition, this learning also emphasizes the importance of ethics and morals, which are reflected in students' daily behavior. This study concludes that a holistic approach in Qur'an and Hadith education is very relevant and needs to be widely applied to form a young generation that is not only academically intelligent, but also has good and responsible character.
