Jurnal Indonesia Sosial Teknologi, Vol. 3, No. 4, April 2022 522
Ethical education aims to make a person a good person. Ethics will make respect each other
and themselves. With ethical education, it is hoped that students will give benefit their
surrounding environment and achieve happiness in life (Nisbet, Zelenski, & Murphy, 2011).
If we want to know how Islam pays attention to ethics, then researching and studying
classical books by scholars is one of the best ways (Nardi, 2018). Classical thinkers have written
many books containing adab and ethics in the process of learning (Sahin, 2021). Some books are
compiled briefly, some are arranged at length. Some include the discussion of ethics as an addition
to the benefits of the discussion of other chapters (di Capua, Bobrowsky, Kieffer, & Palinkas,
2021). Some have compiled a special book only to discuss ethics. The many works of scholars on
ethical discussions are clear evidence that Islam gives great attention to ethics (Gassama,
Sawarjuwono, & Hamidah, 2021).
Some of the books that discuss ethics are At-Tibyan fii Adabi Hamalatil Qur'an by Imam
An-Nawawi, Tadzkirtus Sami' Wal Mutakallim by Ibn Jama'ah, and Ta'lim Muta'allim by Syaik
Az-Zarnuji. These books are important that contain discussions about various ethics in learning.
At-Tibyan by An-Nawawi contains various ethics of students and teachers in the learning process.
This book specifically discusses the various ethics that must be possessed by memorizing the
Qur'an and ways to interact with the Qur'an. Tadzkirtus Sami 'wal Mutakallim contains the ethics
of teachers and students in the learning process. This book provides a comprehensive discussion
of various learning problems. Starting from the ethics of attacking the teacher to discussing the
place that should be chosen in the learning process. For the book mentioned at the end, it seems
that this book has got a special place in the hearts of the Indonesian people, especially among
Islamic boarding schools. Ta'lim Muta'allim has become the standard curriculum of Islamic
boarding schools in carrying out the wheels of learning. In almost all Indonesian Islamic boarding
schools this book is studied. There may not be anyone who has lived in pesantren who does not
know this book. Ta'lim Al-Muta'allim itself is a fairly concise book. This book only specifically
discusses ethics and the various methods students must take in their learning process.
This article aims to be a guideline for students who are studying. This is felt to be quite
important by taking into account the quality of graduates produced by the education units of
primary, secondary, and even higher education which slightly decreases in quality when
compared to past scholars.
The basis used in describing learning ethics emphasizes Islamic ethics, so that the reference
sources used are the Qur'an and Sunnah and the opinions of the scholars who concentrate on
Islamic education, which at its node points that ethics, or more familiar morals in Islam are the
most effective method of transfer-knowladge in students.
It is hoped that this article will be one of the solutions in facing challenges in the world of
education so that in the future scientists will be born who are able to apply their knowledge for
the advancement of themselves and their people. This article provides readers with the benefits
of studying ethics. Studying ethics, being able to create good self-standards in the society's point
of view, knowing the level of good quality and being able to distinguish behavior in society. In
every muamalah, interaction a person and each other, ethics is one of the main factors in the
judgment of others against us. Simply put, when someone sees us being kind, respectful and able
to respect others, then people will see us as a good person and can trust us and vice versa. In
addition, applying ethics can help distinguish between what cannot be changed and what can be
changed and helps a stand in various views and morals.
Ethics is one of the important things that must be learned and applied for everyone who
wants to seek knowledge. Because it is useless for someone to understand something, but not
practice it in his life. By knowing what ethics is, how the ethics of a student to the teacher, the
ethics of students to the knowledge they want to learn, and ethics to fellow students, it is hoped
that students can understand and apply existing ethics so that good relations will be established
between students and their teachers, students with each other. Moreover, students can receive and
understand knowledge easily.
