LITERATURE REVIEW ON THE PRACTICE OF IMPLEMENTING THE 40 HADITH AMONG ISLAMIC EDUCATION TEACHERS IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS

This study examines the literature review related to the practice of implementing the 40 Hadith among Islamic Education teachers in primary schools. Imam al-Nawawi’s 40 Hadith is regarded as a collection that encompasses core Islamic values, including faith (ʿaqidah), worship (ʿibadah), ethics (akhlaq), and social dealings (muʿamalat). This review emphasizes the significance of teachers as role models (qudwah ḥasanah) in educating students, not only cognitively but also in terms of character and spiritual development. Various pedagogical approaches have been identified, including storytelling, simulations, values-based activities, and the use of experiential teaching aids. Previous studies also discuss the supporting and challenging factors affecting the effectiveness of hadith implementation in the classroom, emphasizing the role of professional training and a conducive school environment. Gaps in the research remain in terms of teachers’ understanding of the essence of the 40 Hadith, consistency in practice, and the effectiveness of implementation strategies in the primary school context. Therefore, this review provides a strong justification for further research to strengthen values-based Islamic education at the foundational level.
