Abstract

This study aims to analyze the concept of gratitude in the Qur'an, Surah Al-Kautsar, through a thematic interpretation (maudhu'i) approach in order to discover its theological and philosophical meaning in the context of Islamic education, identify the educational values ​​contained therein, and formulate a conceptual model of Islamic education based on the value of gratitude that is relevant to the development of students' character. This study uses a thematic approach.This qualitative research uses an integrative digital-hermeneutic method, combining a literature review, thematic interpretation analysis, and digital exploration of the latest scientific sources based on online data. This method allows researchers to triangulate classical and contemporary sources, both from interpretation books and digital scientific publications, to gain a more comprehensive and contextual understanding of the meaning of gratitude. The results show that the concept of gratitude in Surah Al-Kautsar encompasses three main dimensions: theological awareness of God's blessings, moral responsibility for knowledge, and spiritual practice manifested in social behavior and worship. These three dimensions serve as the foundation of Islamic educational values ​​that emphasize the balance between the intellectual, spiritual, and moral development of students. Based on these findings, this study produces a conceptual model of Islamic Education Based on the Value of Gratitude (MPINS) that can be applied in curriculum design, learning strategies, and character development in Islamic educational institutions. Theoretically, this study expands the discourse of Islamic education by emphasizing the relevance of Qur'anic interpretation as a source for developing value theory. Policy-wise, these findings can be used as a reference in the development of a character education curriculum based on Qur'anic values. Meanwhile, practically, the formulated model provides guidance for teachers and educators in instilling the value of gratitude through learning.
