Abstract

Baqarah [2]: 1-20 as a whole until it becomes the original interpretation of researcher. The research findings show, al-Fātihah [1]: 1-6 contains the meaning of monotheism relating to the themes (1) prayer and infāq; (2) social interaction between believers, disbelievers and hypocrites; (3) science; (4) education and learning outcomes; (5) propaganda; ( 6) human ethics and ability to subdue nature; (7) the benefits of al-Quran for believers; and (8) dzikr. The relevance to the meaning of ijmāl al-Fātihah [1]: 6-7 with al-Baqarah [2]: 1-20 in formulating educational interpretations is related to the believers who empower their fitrah and reason until they are on the straight path. As for the disbelievers and the hypocrites who are angered by Allah and are heretical because they do not empower their fitrah and reason in understanding ayah qawliyah and ayah kawniyah.

The Concept of Nafs in Islamic Psychology and its Relevance to Student Development

“…In addition, the results of the study (Maksum et al, 2023) shows that the concept of Tazkiyat al-Nafs (self-cleansing) contained in the Quran has potential as the basis of Islamic education that focuses on the dimension of spirituality. This research underscores the importance of combining religious teachings with education to shape the character of students with good morals through the process of self-cleansing and improvement of spiritual values.…”

“…Thus, integrating the concepts of nafs and tazkiyatun nafs in the Merdeka Belajar curriculum will not only help produce academically qualified students, but also individuals who are competitive, ethical, and have deep spiritual awareness. Mohammad Natsir's concept of three pillars of da'wah, which connects mosques, pesantren, and campuses as an integrated da'wah strategy, also has strong relevance in the context of tazkiyat al-nafs-based Islamic education (Maksum et al, 2023). Adopting this approach in an educational environment can provide a solid foundation for shaping the character of students who are empowered, competent, and relevant to the demands of the 21st century.…”
