Abstract

The character of the nation’s religious children can be formed through reading fiction in literary works. Literary works with Islamic nuances can be used as a forum and means as alternative reading in forming a person with noble character. The purpose of this study is to describe the noble character in the form of Islamic values through fiction in the form of the novel Assalamualaikum Beijing, Rumah Tanpa Jendela, and Surga yang Tak Dirindukan by Asma Nadia. The fruit of the creative process of this female novelist can be used as an alternative or supplement to Islamic reading for the younger generation (students). This study uses a structuralism approach with a qualitative descriptive method through a literature study. The three literary works of Asma Nadia contain messages so that the younger generation (students) will later become (1) Islamic people who have a firm stand, strong, independent, pious, and efficient; and (2) motivated to care more about the environment, one another, and His glory. The leading Islamic values are faith, worship, and the fruits of good morals (patience, sincerity, and gratitude) are the core of character building for the younger generation. Thus, teachers, parents, the younger generation (students), and stakeholders must synergize in fostering the literacy of the younger generation (students) in this case the interest in reading literary works with Islamic nuances.
