The Role of the Family in Child Education and National Development: The Example of Ibrāhīm’s Family in the Quran

Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of the family in child education models, particularly in the context of the values taught by Prophet Ibra hī m and his contribution to national development. Using a qualitative approach with descriptive methods, this research relies on relevant Quranic verses, scholarly literature, and previous findings. The results indicate that the family plays a crucial role in the moral and spiritual education of children, forming the foundation for the development of high-quality human resources. The values of monotheism, obedience, patience, and compassion taught by Prophet Ibra hī m serve as a primary model for shaping children's character. The study also identifies modern challenges, such as the impact of technology and globalization on family education, and offers effective adaptation strategies. This research's implications include public policy recommendations to support the role of the family in child education and sustainable national development, specifically through parent training and education programs, economic support for families, flexible work policies, strengthening social and community institutions, and character education in schools.
