Konsep Tazkiyah al-Nafs sebagai Dasar Pendidikan Karakter Peserta Didik: Studi Pemikiran Al-Muhasibi, Ibnu Athaillah, dan Abdul Qadir Al-Jilani

Abstract

Abstract : 

This study aims to analyze the concept of tazkiyah al-nafs (purification of the soul) as the foundation of Islamic character education through the thoughts of three influential Sufi figures: al-Muhasibi, Ibn Ataillah al-Sakandari and Abdul Qadir al-Jilani. This research employs a library research approach with descriptive-comparative analysis, examining the primary works of these figures as well as interpretations by modern scholars. The findings show that tazkiyah al-nafs in the perspective of these three scholars occupies a fundamental position in shaping Muslim morality and personality. Al-Muhasibi emphasizes introspection through muhasabah, Ibn Ataillah emphasizes transcendental awareness of the Divine Will, while Abdul Qadir al-Jilani highlights the balance between spirituality and social action. Together, their views form a paradigm of character education oriented toward self-purification, self-control, and moral-spiritual empowerment. The implication of this study indicates the need for reorienting modern Islamic education toward a character education model that places tazkiyah al-nafs as its main foundation.
