AN ISLAMIC COUNSELING MODEL BASED ON THE QUR’AN AND HADITH FOR DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ SELF-REGULATION
Keywords:
Islamic counseling, Qur’an, Hadith, self-regulation, character educationAbstract
This study develops an Islamic counseling model based on the Qur’an and Hadith to strengthen students’ self-regulation across cognitive, affective, and behavioral domains. Employing qualitative library research, it analyzes Islamic primary texts and relevant scholarly works, with data examined through descriptive analysis and triangulation. Findings show that the model effectively fosters self-regulation by enhancing students’ understanding of Islamic values such as patience, discipline, and self-control. It also nurtures affective growth through spiritual reflection, motivating behavior regulation as a form of devotion, and improves behavioral discipline and emotional control in daily practice. Compared to Western self-regulation theories, this model provides a more holistic perspective by integrating psychological mechanisms with transcendental values. The study highlights its dual contribution: theoretically, it enriches Islamic educational psychology by embedding Qur’anic and Prophetic principles in counseling; practically, it offers guidelines for educators to integrate character formation with counseling services. Despite challenges—such as teachers’ reliance on conventional models, varied student religiosity, and limited time—the model demonstrates strong potential for shaping disciplined, responsible, and spiritually conscious learners, offering insights relevant to global discussions on integrating spirituality in education
