Kajian Kitab Ayyuhal Walad dan Tadzhib Al-Akhlak

Abstract

Moral education is a very important education because it not only teaches knowledge, but also forms a good personality in accordance with Islamic teachings to create individuals with noble character. Children's moral education has been discussed by two Muslim figures, namely Al-Ghazali and Ibn Maskawaih. The purpose of this study is to explain the methods of moral education according to al-Ghazali and Ibn Maskawaih; the study of the Ayyuhal Walad and Tadzhib Al-Akhlak books. The method used is a literature study, by collecting sources in the form of: the Ayyuhal Walad book, Tadzhib Al-Akhlak, books, journals, and other relevant sources. After the sources are collected, an analysis is carried out and conclusions are drawn. The results found are several methods of moral education explained by Al-Ghazali, namely: oral methods, stories, habits, and exemplary behavior. While the methods of moral education by Ibn Maskawaih are natural methods, guidance, habits and punishment. Both have similarities in several methods, namely: the habituation method to form good habits, Al-Ghazali's advice method and Ibn Maskawaih's natural method to teach moral values, as well as Al-Ghazali's exemplary method and Ibn Maskawaih's guidance method which emphasize the role of educators as good examples for children.
