Abstract

Character issues are the most important issues in human life, so character education that emphasizes the ethical dimension of religion becomes relevant to apply. The author uses the concept of the ideas of Thomas Lickona and the idea of character education according to Yusuf Qardhawi so that it is hoped that we can contribute an understanding of building characters that are abstract and universal. This type of research approaches qualitative narratives with narrative types. The data source for this study is reference data, which is summarized in Thomas Lickona’s book Educating for Character, the introductory book of Islamic studies, a comprehensive analytical study of the pillars of substance, characteristics, goals, and sources of Islamic reference by Yusuf Qardhawi, as well as articles, essays, and journals that discuss character education of children. Data collection techniques used are documentation studies for story collection, reporting experiences, and discussing the meaning of the experiences of Thomas Lickona and Yusuf Qardhawi. The characteristics of Muslims offered by Yusuf Qardhawi are in line with Thomas Lickona’s thought that there are similarities between the two, namely moral knowledge or syumul (universal), moral feelings or rabbaniyah (divinity), moral actions or insaniyah (humanity), wasathiyah (moderate) and a combination of principle firmness and flexibility. Therefore, character education requires transparency and touch from early childhood to early adulthood.
