Abstract

The importance of character building in education is highly regarded nowadays. Recently, there rises awareness about other functions of education beside the intellectual outcome among experts and teachers. Education is no more limited to teaching lesson, but also involving other aspects such as emotional and spiritual quotient in the curriculum. In order to pursue other benefits from education, the issue of character building is concerned. Character, as explained by Ryan and Boblin, contains three interconnected elements: knowing the good, loving the good and doing the good. This research aims to propose alternative perspective about character building from Islamic point of view. The method used in this research is literature study. From Islamic perspective, character building can be built on the spirit of Ihsan. Ihsan is the third element of Islamic spiritual foundation beside Islam (rituals) and Iman (belief system). Ihsan is the sense of God’s presence and supervision on human activities. Because God is immanent, individual is not only motivated to act in accordance with Islamic rules, but also inspired to unleash the divine potential within self.
