Etika Pendidikan Karakter Ilmuwan Muslim

Abstract

The rapid development of modern science and technology today often proceeds in isolation from spiritual and moral values, thereby triggering a crisis of moral degradation among academics, such as plagiarism, data manipulation, and a destructive orientation toward science. This study aims to formulate the concepts, basic principles, and relevance of character education ethics for Muslim scientists based on the Islamic perspective in order to produce a generation of scientists who are not only academically excellent but also possess high moral integrity. The method used is qualitative, specifically library research, where data collection is conducted through a critical review of classical Islamic texts and contemporary literature, followed by analysis using content analysis techniques. The research findings indicate that the ethics of character education for Muslim scientists are deeply rooted in the integration of faith, knowledge, and action, with core characteristics including sincerity, scientific integrity, humility, and social-spiritual responsibility. This character education successfully positions science not as a value-free entity, but as a value-bound one for the benefit of humanity and as a form of worship to Allah SWT.
