Internalization of Sufi Values in Moral Education for Generation Alpha
Keywords:
Moral Education, Sufism, Generation Alpha, Value Internalization, Islamic EducationAbstract
This study aims to examine the internalization of Sufi values in moral education for Generation Alpha. The study is based on the strong influence of digital culture on students’ mindsets, behavior, and social relations. Generation Alpha grows up in an environment closely connected to the internet, social media, and screen-based technology. Therefore, they need moral education that is not only cognitive but also able to strengthen spiritual awareness and self-control. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research method. Data were collected from books, journal articles, and academic documents related to moral education, Sufism, value internalization, and the characteristics of Generation Alpha. The data were analyzed using content analysis. The findings show that Sufi values such as sincerity, patience, gratitude, contentment, humility, self-reflection, God-consciousness, and purification of the soul are relevant to shaping the morality of Generation Alpha. These values can be internalized through understanding, role modeling, habituation, self-reflection, religious practice, and the integration of digital learning. Sufism-based moral education can serve as an alternative model of Islamic character education that emphasizes both outward behavior and inner moral awareness. Thus, Sufism plays an important role in developing students’ spiritual awareness, self-control, digital ethics, and social morality.
