BACKGROUND Islamic education (tarbiyatul Islam) makes a person the center of the educational process. It becomes evident in Islam’s concern for all aspects of human formation, starting from children even in the earlier period. Islam pays attention to intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual mental aspects. Education in this aspect is a form of formal education, so it must be carried out as early as possible at home, out of home, formally in educational institutions, and non-formal in the community. An-Nahlawi mentions it as individual education that brings people to faith, self-education that brings people to real valuable work in life, and education community that brings people to mutual strengthening in truth and patience. 1 The current condition of Indonesia shows a graph of structured deviations in social life from the joints of Divine guidance in almost all aspects of life; political, 1 Abdurrahman An-Nahlawi, Ushulut Tarbiyah Islamiyah wa Asabiliha fil Baiti wal Madrasati wal Mujtama, Penerjemah Shihabuddin, Pendidikan Islam di Rumah Sekolah dan Masyarakat (Jakarta: Gema Insani Press, 1995), p. 27.
