Konsep Pendidikan dalam Keluarga Menurut Perspektif Prof. Dr. Zakiah Daradjat

Abstract

The family is the first and foremost institution in a child’s life. Before becoming acquainted with the outside world, a child first experiences the situations and conditions within the family. Experiences within the family have a significant influence on a child’s future development and growth. Islamic education provided to children requires the involvement of the family, school, and community, as these three institutions can influence a child’s development. The implementation of Islamic education within the family aims to guide children to become pious, possess noble character, perform acts of worship properly, and demonstrate appropriate attitudes and behaviors in their relationships with Allah, themselves, fellow human beings, other creatures, and the environment. In accordance with the characteristics of the problems addressed in this thesis, the author employed a descriptive-analytical method, which presents problems as they are, accompanied by arguments drawn from the thoughts of the scholars discussed in this thesis. This method was used to analyze the concept of Islamic education within the family from the perspective of Prof. Dr. Zakiah Daradjat. Accordingly, the data analysis focused on library research, which involved reading, examining, and reviewing books and written sources closely related to the issues under discussion. The findings of this study regarding the concept of family education from the perspective of Prof. Dr. Zakiah Daradjat indicate that the family environment serves as the foundation of education for instilling Islamic values in children. These values include the cultivation of aqidah (Islamic creed), the development of proper worship practices, and the inculcation of akhlak (noble character). Through this education, children are expected to grow and develop well, face the challenges of the modern era, and lead their lives as servants of Allah.
