Konsep Pendidikan Akhlak Menurut Kitab Sirah Nabawiyah Karya Syaikh Safiyyurrahman Al-Mubarakfuri

Abstract

This study discusses the concept of moral education (ta'dīb al-akhlāq) in Sirah Nabawiyah by Sheikh Shafiyurrahman Al-Mubarakfuri. The background of this research stems from the urgency of moral education in the modern era, where the moral crisis has become one of the main problems in the life of the Muslim community. The book Ar-Raḥīq al-Makhtūm was chosen because it not only presents the life journey of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from a historical perspective but also contains moral education values that are relevant to be applied in daily life. The method used is library research with a descriptive qualitative approach, analyzing the content of Ar-Raḥīq al-Makhtūm and other literature related to moral education. The data were obtained through textual analysis and examined thematically according to the categories of morality toward Allah, oneself, and fellow human beings. The results show that Al-Mubarakfuri’s concept of moral education emphasizes the exemplary character of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as the primary source. Morality toward Allah is reflected in obedience, sincerity, and trust in Him (tawakkul); morality toward oneself includes simplicity, patience, and self-respect; while morality toward others is demonstrated through honesty, trustworthiness, justice, and compassion. Thus, this study contributes to enriching the treasury of Islamic education, particularly in instilling moral values through the exemplary life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as portrayed in Sirah Nabawiyah.
