Revitalizing Educator Ethics in Tarbawi Hadith: Analysis of Moral-Based Learning Methods in the Digital Era

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has significantly transformed the landscape of education, creating new opportunities as well as challenges, especially in maintaining ethical values and moral integrity among educators and students. In Islamic education, hadith serves as a primary source alongside the Qur'an, offering profound guidance on ethics and pedagogical methods rooted in prophetic traditions. This study aims to analyze the ethical foundations of educators and teaching methodologies as reflected in tarbawi hadith and to assess their relevance and application in the digital era. Using a qualitative library research method, the study draws upon classical and contemporary Islamic literature, hadith compilations, and scholarly interpretations to explore the integration of moral values into modern teaching practices. The findings indicate that the ethics of education as taught by the Prophet Muhammad SAW such as sincerity, patience, compassion, humility, and responsibility remain highly relevant today. Additionally, the study reveals that the Prophet's methods dialogical interaction, role modeling, contextual learning, and adaptive instruction can effectively guide contemporary educators in forming morally upright and intellectually capable learners. The research underscores the importance of revitalizing hadith-based educational ethics as a strategic response to moral degradation and dehumanization in digital education.
