Peran Pendidikan Keagamaan dalam Majlis Ta’lim sebagai Sarana Pembinaan Moral Masyarakat

Abstract

Majelis ta'lim is a non-formal Islamic educational institution that plays a vital role in fostering community morality. Amidst increasingly complex globalization and social change, society requires a platform for religious education capable of strengthening moral, spiritual, and social values. This study aims to examine the role of religious education within majelis ta'lim as a means of fostering community morality through a literature review approach. The method used is a literature study by collecting various scientific sources in the form of journals, articles, and books relevant to the research theme. The results of the study indicate that majelis ta'lim functions as a medium for religious education, character formation, strengthening social values, increasing religiosity, as well as a means of da'wah and community empowerment. Religious education within majelis ta'lim can shape community behavior that is more religious, disciplined, responsible, and caring for the social environment. In addition, regular recitation activities, religious lectures, Islamic discussions, and moral development are important factors in instilling moral values ​​in the congregation. Majelis ta'lim also plays a role in strengthening social relations through social gatherings and mutual cooperation activities. However, several challenges remain, such as low participation by the younger generation, limited facilities, and the influence of modernization, which can reduce the effectiveness of moral development. Therefore, innovation in learning methods and strengthening the management of Islamic study groups are necessary to ensure their relevance to the needs of modern society. Thus, Islamic study groups remain strategic religious educational institutions in shaping a society with morals and Islamic character.
