The Effect of Islamic Education on the Personality of Students at Higher Learning Institutions in Indonesia

Abstract

Islamic education can be applied in a variety of ways, including avoiding confrontational approaches and emphasising intellectual conversation, building unity, and appreciating the diversity of human characteristics. This strategy helps to boost individual personality development. The study's goal is to determine the impact of Islamic education on character development among students in Indonesian higher education institutions. The findings of our study show that Islamic Religious Education instructors have successfully contributed to the development of their students' personalities by achieving the following: By prioritising the teaching of religious education, we can lay a solid foundation for students' character development. This is achievable through theological education, which is essential. Families, communities, and the government must also help provide advice and mentoring. The study used a qualitative research design to gather relevant information from the target audience. Nonetheless, the findings are limited in their relevance to other ethnic or educational contexts due to their focus on Indonesia's Islamic educational system.
