Orphan Education, Qur'an and Tarbawi Hadith, Islamic EducationAbstract
Orphan education holds a significant position in Islamic teachings, as emphasized in both the Qur'an and Hadith. Orphans children who have lost one or both parents often face distinct challenges in their emotional, spiritual, and social development. This study aims to explore the concept of orphan education based on the Qur'an and Tarbawi Hadith and its practical implementation within Islamic educational institutions, particularly in pondok pesantren. Employing a qualitative library research method, this study examines primary sources, including the Qur'an, Hadith, classical tafsir, and contemporary scholarly literature. The findings reveal that Islamic education for orphans emphasizes safeguarding their rights, nurturing spiritual and moral character, and responding to their emotional and social needs with compassion. In practice, Islamic institutions adopt an integrated character education model that combines Islamic values with a holistic developmental approach. The study concludes that orphan education must be intentionally structured upon the principles of mercy (rahmah), justice (‘adl), and social responsibility as outlined in the Qur'an and Hadith. The implication of this study is the need for Islamic educational institutions to develop inclusive, empathetic, and values-based pedagogical frameworks that empower orphans to become morally upright and independent individuals, contributing meaningfully to society.
