The Implementation Model of Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas' Moral Education Concept in 9th-Grade Santri at Pesantren Ar-Raudlatul Hasanah

Abstract

Abstract: This study examines the implementation model of the moral education concept proposed by Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas in 9th-grade santri at Pesantren Ar-Raudhatul Hasanah. Moral education is a fundamental aspect of the Islamic education system, aiming to shape students' character and morality in accordance with Islamic values. Al-Attas emphasizes that true education is not merely the transfer of knowledge but a process of instilling adab, which encompasses knowledge, practice, and wisdom. According to him, the primary goal of education is to produce individuals who achieve a balance between intellectual and spiritual development while understanding the essence of truth. This study employs a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through observations, interviews with educators and santri, as well as document analysis related to the curriculum and educational policies of the pesantren. The findings reveal that the implementation of Al-Attas' moral education concept in this pesantren is carried out through three main aspects: structured religious teachings, habituation of moral values in daily life, and exemplary conduct demonstrated by educators and the pesantren environment. The combination of these three aspects forms an effective educational pattern in instilling noble moral values in santri. In conclusion, the moral education model based on Al-Attas' concept, as implemented at Pesantren Ar-Raudhatul Hasanah, has proven effective in shaping santri with noble character, discipline, and a sense of responsibility. Therefore, this moral education concept can serve as a model for other Islamic educational institutions in cultivating a generation that is knowledgeable and well-mannered.
