Contextualization of Yusuf al-Qardhawi’s Concept of Moral Education: An Integrative Study with Character Education in Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the input, process, output, outcome, and contextualization of Yusuf al-Qardhawi’s concept of moral education within the framework of Indonesia’s character educatio. Data were collected from books, journals, articles, videos, and especially Yusuf al-Qardhawi’s works on moral education, using qualitative content analysis. The findings reveal that moral education consists of both software and hardware. The software includes a curriculum emphasizing morality toward Allah, the Prophet, oneself, other creatures, and the state, supported by both soft skills and hard skills activities. The hardware consists of teachers and students, with teachers expected to possess pedagogical, personal, social, and professional competencies, strengthened through prayer, dhikr, and advice. The process is carried out through structured lesson planning that integrates materials, syllabi, teaching modules, media, methods, and facilities into the lesson plan (RPP), while learning activities cover opening to closing stages with appropriate methods, assessments, and classroom management. The output and outcome of Yusuf al-Qardhawi’s moral education are students who have faith and piety to Allah, love the Prophet, show noble character toward others, and respect all creation. In its contextualization, this study highlights that Yusuf al-Qardhawi’s moral values, such as compassion, humility, sincerity, patience, justice, moderation (wasathiyah), and balance (tawazun), are strongly relevant to character education in Indonesia. These values align with key traits promoted nationally, including religiosity, honesty, discipline, creativity, tolerance, democracy, nationalism, patriotism, respect, peace, and environmental care. The study affirms that Yusuf al-Qardhawi’s ideas provide a valuable contribution to strengthening character education in Indonesia.
