The Self-Concept Formation Based On Sufism In Overcoming Moral Deviance Among Santri: A Case Study At Al-Inaroh Islamic Boarding School
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study aims to explore how the formation of self-concept based on Sufism can address moral deviations among students (santri) at Islamic boarding schools. Conducted at Pondok Pesantren Al-Inaroh, the research investigates the integration of Sufi teachings into the institution's character development framework. A qualitative case study approach was employed, utilizing participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis to collect both primary and secondary data. The findings indicate that the internalization of core Sufi values—such as muraqabah (spiritual vigilance), muhasabah (self-reflection), and zuhud (detachment from worldly desires)—plays a critical role in cultivating spiritual awareness among students. This awareness positively shapes their self-concept, which, in turn, acts as a preventive mechanism against moral deviations. The research highlights the significant impact of Sufism-based education in fostering a strong moral foundation within the pesantren environment. By offering insights into how spiritually grounded educational models contribute to moral development, the study presents a valuable approach for addressing moral deviance and strengthening character education in Islamic boarding schools.
