Character-Building In Islamic Education Perspective

Abstract

Character-Building in the Perspective of Islamic Education. Character education is education that aims to shape students' personalities through noble character education, behavior, honesty, responsibility, respect for others, hard work, and so on. Education is vital in developing students' character. Character education involves aspects of cognitive, feeling, and action. These three aspects are the unity that makes the action real in human behavior. The existence of problems in society, such as crime, drugs, violence among students, rampant corruption, and domestic violence, is evidence of a national identity crisis. The answer to these problems is the existence of character education. Islamic religious education is the spirit of character education through the development of akhlaqul karimah where human morals are formed with noble values and religious teachings. These values must be expressed in students' actions. Therefore, character-building through religious education is essential for the Indonesian people who are famous for being religious.
