The concept of education according to Imam al-Ghazali and al-Zarnuji is a process
of the soul to understand the meaning of something as an effort to form akhlakul
karimah to bring closer (taqarrub) to God in order to achieve salvation in the world
and in the hereafter. Both concepts emphasize the moral requirements as the main
base, but al-Gazali is more likely on the teacher (al-Mu'allim). While al-Zarnuji
stressed the moral requirements, both on teachers and students. That is, the
interaction of teachers and students in the learning process must uphold ethics
without having to turn off the creativity and dynamics of learning. Thus, it is clear
that the two characters make morality as a basis for their thinking in conducting
educational thinking. The thought of Islamic education based on morals is relevant to
life in the modern era, considering the Islamic society is facing increasingly complex
problems. Education based on morals is expected to be a solution for both teachers
and learners.
