Building the Character of Humility Through the Prophet Sulayman Model in Kindergarten

Abstract

Moral education needs to be instilled since early childhood. The problem core morals need to be implanted, and how do you teach them? An-Nahlawi, Egypt, introduced a variety of Quranic learning models. One of them is uswah hasanah as a moral model. Ideally, there are moral figures. However, it is difficult, maybe even nonexistent. The only model is the Prophets. The study aims to find the learning model of uswah hasanah of Prophet Sulayman to instill the attitude of humble for early childhood. The study method uses the classroom action research. The study found, Prophet Sulayman had the attitude of humble; because he realized that he could do nothing without God, even breathing could not. He became king, not because of his greatness, but because it made him king by the Lord. He was wealthy because it made him rich by God. He was highly knowledgeable because it made him smart by God. The goal was to be tested, and Prophet Sulayman passed the test of God. He is a believer, there is no little conceit. The implication is that moral education should make students aware of their weaknesses by always relying on God. Keywords—moral education; uswah hasanah; Prophet Sulayman; humble
