🟢[LIVE DELAY] SEMINAR PENGARUH PENDIDIKAN AKHLAK TERHADAP KARAKTER PEMIMPIN | MPR DAN MUI JAKSEL

Main Ideas and Concepts

Importance of Moral Education in Leadership Moral education is foundational in shaping a leader’s character. Leadership success depends not only on intelligence and strategy but also on noble morals such as honesty, justice, responsibility, and trustworthiness. A leader without morals risks corruption, abuse of power, and injustice. Moral education must start early—from family, educational institutions, and social environments.
Islamic Perspective on Morality and Leadership Morality (akhlaq) is rooted in divine values from Allah and exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who is the ultimate role model for moral leadership. Islamic leadership is a mandate with enormous moral responsibility to uphold justice and unity. The concept of Sultaniyah Tarbiyah (Sultanic Education) synthesizes teachings from Imam Mawardi and Imam Al-Ghazali on moral education for leaders. Imam Al-Ghazali’s Syajaratul Iman (Tree of Faith) metaphor illustrates stages of moral development for leaders, starting from strong roots of faith to fruits of justice.
Challenges Facing Moral Leadership Today Modern challenges include corruption, transactional politics, declining public trust, and moral decay among leaders. Democracy allows people to elect leaders, so the moral quality of leaders reflects the moral quality of society. Social media and misinformation pose risks to societal order and leadership integrity. There is a need for continuous moral education integrated into national education systems and leadership training.
Role of Scholars and Ulama Scholars have a crucial role in guiding, educating, and providing social control over leaders. Corruption among scholars can lead to corruption among leaders. Ulama must act as moral guardians, advising and correcting leaders to prevent moral decay. The relationship between ulama and leaders should be constructive, aimed at saving the government and society.
Practical Aspects of Moral Education Moral education involves a balance between intellectual knowledge and spiritual/emotional development. It must be integrated into curricula, with teachers and parents as role models. Technology can be used as a medium to spread moral values but requires ethical guidance. Oaths of office should be more than ceremonial; they must carry moral and spiritual weight.
