Penguatan Karakter Qur'ani Melalui Internalisasi Nilai-Nilai Surat Luqman Ayat 12–14 Pada Peserta Didik Kelas VII MTs Asyafi'iyah Ngetal Pogalan Trenggalek

Abstract

Abstract: The decline in students' character, as reflected in reduced discipline, responsibility, social awareness, and respect for teachers and parents, has become a major challenge in Islamic education. This study aims to analyze the internalization of the character values contained in Surah Luqman verses 12–14 and their contribution to strengthening the character of seventh-grade students at MTs Asyafi'iyah. The study employed a qualitative approach with a field research design. The participants included the principal, Islamic Religious Education teachers, the seventh-grade homeroom teacher, and 30 seventh-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. Data trustworthiness was ensured through triangulation. The findings indicate that character values were internalized through integrative learning, teacher role modeling, the habituation of religious practices, the development of a religious school culture, and continuous moral guidance. These strategies contributed to improving students' religiosity, discipline, responsibility, gratitude, and respect for teachers and parents. This study confirms that the internalization of Qur'an-based character values is an effective approach to fostering students' Qur'anic character and strengthening character education practices in the madrasah environment.
