Dhikr Nailu Al-Khairat in Forming Mahmudah Morals in Students at MAS Al-Amanah Al-Gontory
Keywords:
Dzikir Nailu Al-Khairat, Akhlak Mahmudah, Moral Education
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the process of Dzikir Nailu Al-Khairat activities and describe its role in shaping noble character (akhlak mahmudah) among eleventh-grade students at MAS Al-Amanah Al-Gontory, South Tangerang. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, primary data were collected through observations and semi-structured interviews with teachers and students, supplemented by relevant school documentation. The findings reveal two main outcomes. First, the implementation of Dzikir Nailu Al-Khairat follows a systematic three-stage process: planning, execution, and evaluation, ensuring the spiritual practice is effectively integrated into the school's educational routine. Second, this structured spiritual intervention successfully cultivates four core noble character traits in students: (1) Tawhid (affirming the oneness of Allah), (2) Ikhlas (sincerity in actions), (3) Husnudzon (maintaining positive presumption), and (4) Tawakal (reliance on God). Ultimately, this study demonstrates that integrating Dzikir Nailu Al-Khairat into the school curriculum serves as a strategic educational instrument. It not only fosters inner tranquility and intrinsic motivation but also authentically nurtures holistic moral development, preparing students to navigate modern challenges with strong spiritual and ethical foundations.
