Muhammad Rasyid Ridha’s Ideas on Moral Education and Their Relevance to the Transformation of the Modern Islamic Education Curriculum
Keywords:
Moral Education; Rasyid Ridha; Islamic Curriculum; ModernizationAbstract
This study aims to analyze Muhammad Rasyid Ridha’s ideas on moral education and their relevance to the transformation of the modern Islamic Education curriculum. This study is significant because contemporary Islamic education faces the challenges of the dualism of knowledge, the weakening of character, and the need to integrate religious values, rationality, and social competence. This research employs a qualitative method with a library research design. Primary data were derived from Rasyid Ridha’s ideas in Tafsir al-Manar and scholarly literature discussing his educational thought, while secondary data were obtained from journal articles, books, and contemporary Islamic Religious Education curriculum documents. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model, consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that, according to Rasyid Ridha, moral education is oriented toward tawhid, rationality, social action, and the renewal of the Muslim community. These ideas are relevant to a modern Islamic curriculum that is integrative, contextual, and character-oriented.
