ABSTRACT
The objective of this research
is to discuss Al-Imam Al-Ghazali’s concept of moral education: purposes and pillars
through using the deductive and inductive methods.
According to Al-Ghazali, morals have two sides: instinctive
and acquired. As for Al-Ghazali, moral
education aims to achieve some goals that work to promote the moral, intellectual,
and social level of individuals and the whole society. On the other hand, the most
important pillars of moral education are considering individual differences, accountability,
self-monitoring, learning by practice, gradual education, perseverance, self-purification,
and reinforcement. The study concludes that Al-Ghazali differentiates between the
morals as a nature and distinct, and good manners.
