Empowering Islamic Studies through Arabic Language Education: An OBE and SDG-4 Approach towards Global Peace and Humanity

Abstract

Arabic language learning has a strategic position in Islamic studies because it is the main means of understanding the Qur'an, Hadith, and Islamic scientific heritage. However, the degradation of academic ethics shows a separation between knowledge and morality, so that a learning paradigm that unites cognitive, affective, and spiritual aspects is needed. This study aims to develop a conceptual model of the integration of faith values in Arabic language language learning to strengthen academic ethics and social sustainability. The method used is a conceptual approach (conceptual research) through a literature review of Islamic education theory, Outcome-Based Education (OBE), and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). The results of this study are [1] Empowerment of Islamic studies through Arabic language education, [2] Integration of the OBE approach to ensure learning outcomes that include linguistic, spiritual, and social competencies, [3] Synchronization of OBE and SDG-4 to realize quality, character-based, and globally oriented Islamic education, [4] Implications for global peace and humanity through the development of moral awareness, empathy, and religious moderation. This research contributes to the development of an Arabic language curriculum model based on faith values that is relevant to the demands of the 21st century, supports the creation of civilized, sustainable Islamic education, and contributes to world peace.
