A Character Education in Strengthening the Profile of Rahmatan lil ‘Alamin Learners

This study aims to reveal the concept of character education in Ta’lim al-Muta’allim by Sheikh Az-Zarnuji and its relevance to strengthening the Profil Pelajar Rahmatan lil ‘Alamin (PPRA). The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with content analysis techniques, focusing on an in-depth examination of Sheikh Az-Zarnuji’s narrative on character education in Ta’lim al-Muta’allim. The findings indicate the presence of thirteen core character education concepts presented in the book. These concepts hold significant urgency in an era marked by rapid change and complex moral challenges, where moral degradation poses a serious threat to character formation. The internalization of such character education serves as a moral stronghold, capable of reinforcing character development and fostering a generation that is not only intellectually intelligent but also creative and spiritually resilient. This study emphasizes that the revitalization of character education in Ta’lim al-Muta’allim is highly relevant as a strategy for character formation grounded in moral and spiritual values, resilience, and integrity. It is expected that these findings can serve as a practical reference for strengthening character education.
