Dimensions of Basic Educational Character in the Qur’ān: A Hermeneutic Analysis of Tafsīr Al-Jawahir by Sheikh Tantawi Jauhari on Surah Nuh

This research aims to explore the dimensions of basic education character in the scientific interpretation of Surah Nuh, verses 13–14, as presented in Al-Jawahir Fi Tafsīr Al-Qur’ān Al-Karim. Using a library research approach, data was collected by identifying and analyzing verses related to character education. Verification was conducted by comparing the interpretation of these verses from Syeikh Tantawi’s perspective with the views of other interpreters. The findings indicate that Syeikh Tantawi’s interpretation in Al-Jawahir has significantly inspired Muslims to implement character education for elementary school students. This pattern is evident in the interpretation of Surah Nuh, verses 13–14, which describes the process of human formation in the womb. Tantawi’s explanation serves as an inspiration for internalizing fundamental values that shape a child's positive character. The dimensions of character education identified include diligence, appreciation for life, continuous learning, gratitude, recognition of God, and empathy for others' development. This study contributes to the development of a character education curriculum based on Qur’ānic verses, particularly Surah Nuh, verses 13–14, which contain essential values that can be integrated into the learning process to foster positive character at the basic education level.
