QASHASH AS MATERIAL AND METHOD IN ISLAMIC EDUCATION

Abstract

This study aims to explore the materials and instructional methods embedded in the stories (qashas h) of the Qur’an, which can be applied in Islamic religious education. Using a qualitative research approach and library research methods, this study examines the pedagogical values contained in the selected stories of the Qur’an. The findings show that Qur’anic stories have significant educational value and are frequently used in Islamic educational institutions to facilitate the teaching and learning process. Storytelling is considered an effective method due to its ease and engaging nature, which attracts students' interest. However, this study also highlights that not all subjects in Islamic education are suitable for delivery through this method. Educators must be able to select appropriate material so that the qisah method can be optimally applied and align with the learning objectives.
