Abstract
Character education is vital in shaping individuals with quality traits, especially in the complexities of modern society. This research aims to explore how Islamic education values contribute to character development, focusing on behavior, attitudes, and morals of Muslim individuals. Utilizing a literature review methodology, the study delves into Islamic libraries or book collections to understand the role of faith in Allah, justice, equality, tolerance, and other values in shaping responsible, honest, and ethically strong characters. The findings reveal that Islamic teachings, rooted in faith in Allah, instill piety, devotion, and obedience, contributing to responsible and honest character formation. Values like justice, equality, and tolerance foster mutual respect, cooperation, and peace. Emphasis on ethics and morality results in characters with high integrity, prioritizing honesty, integrity, and responsibility. Islamic education further promotes lifelong learning, fostering individuals with open minds, creativity, and a passion for continuous improvement. The character of the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W., encompassing shidiq, amanah, tabligh, and fatonah, serves as guiding principles. Integrating Islamic education values into character education is crucial for building a just, harmonious, and responsible society, necessitating joint efforts from educational institutions and families to reinforce and implement these values.
