Abstract

Islamic education plays an important role in shaping humane citizens. This study aims to explore the views of educators and school principals regarding the role of Islamic education in developing students' character and morals. The method used is a qualitative method with in-depth interviews. The subjects of this research are educators and Islamic school principals in Indonesia. Data analysis used thematic analysis. The results show that Islamic education focuses not only on knowledge transfer but also on character development through teaching values such as justice, compassion, empathy and social responsibility. Humanitarian programs and collaboration with the community also contribute to the formation of students' positive attitudes and behaviors. While there are challenges in internalizing these values, support from educators, parents and the community is essential. This research confirms that Islamic education can produce a smart, caring and responsible generation, thus contributing to the development of a better and equitable society.
