ABSTRACT


INTRODUCTION
Etymologically, education comes from the Greek, paedagogiek.Paes means child, gogos means guide/guidance; and iek means knowledge.So etymologically pedagogic is the science that talks about how to provide guidance to children.In English education is translated into education.Education comes from the Greek word educare which means to bring out what is stored in the child's soul, to be guided to grow and develop.
While the notion of education in terminology is "human activity and effort to improve his personality by cultivating his personal potentials, namely: spiritual (thought, intention, taste, creativity, and conscience) and physical (five senses and skills).
To achieve the functions and objectives of education, the role of religious education is absolutely necessary and the role of other educational institutions cannot be denied.One of the fields of religious education is moral education.Moral education in schools is a sub-section or subject of Islamic religious education subjects.Al-Karimah moral learning in schools teaches students to study and implement the material obtained in the form of habituation of commendable (good) moral character and avoiding despicable (bad) morals.Aqidah has a very important position like a building, aqidah is the foundation, while other Islamic teachings, such as worship and morals, are something that is built on it.destroyed.According to the language "Aqidah" linguistically comes from Arabic, namely [ ˝ْ ‫ع‬ ‫قد‬ -‫َي‬ ‫ْع‬ ‫ِق‬ ‫د˚‬ -َ ‫عقَ‬ ‫د‬ ] means to bind or enter into an agreement.Meanwhile, Aqidah according to the terms is matters that must be justified by the heart and accepted with a sense of satisfaction and stabbed firmly in the depths of the soul that cannot be shaken by a storm of subhat (doubt).
The position of al-karimah morality in life is very important in terms of the life of a Muslim.Akhlak al-karimah is the axis or core for humans in continuing their life goals.According to language, the word Aqidah comes from Arabic, namely 'aqada-ya'qidu-'aqdan-'aqidatan.'Aqdan means conclusion, bond and firm agreement, after being formed into aqidah means belief.The word morality comes from the Arabic language, which is the plural form of "khuluq" which means character, temperament, behavior or character.Aqidah and morals have a very close relationship, and the two cannot be separated.Aqidah is the foundation for all actions.Morals are a good human deed, both in relation to God Almighty, fellow human beings, and their environment.
Moral education is formal and informal education from Al-Ghazal's point of view.The beginning of informal education is in the family environment, starting with getting used to the behavior and food eaten.Then, if education has shown a development where an educated child can distinguish something, then he must be directed towards positive things.On the other hand, Al-Ghazali also provides advice with the saga method or exemplary stories.Moral growth also requires getting used to doing things that are good and useful.In addition, you also have to pay attention to environmental conditions, does the environment support moral education or does the environment not support it because of various adverse factors.(Al-ta and Al-ta, Morality can be strengthened by imitating the qualities of the Prophet Muhammad.Moral learning begins with different stages, namely self-improvement of questionable qualities, habituation of noble morals, and the results of exemplary morals.When teaching children, use the same methods as adults.It's just that the emphasis of the two methods is different.For adults, the main way to achieve noble character is to accommodate oneself to good things, so that adults are much more depressed than their peers.In contrast to children, parents or teachers protect children from various bad associations and environments to avoid bad behavior and achieve good behavior.Therefore, a large part of teaching to children is about emulating good behavior and practicing it to achieve the desired result after various attempts.Imam Al Ghazal's idea of moral education towards children is as follows.

Morals to Allah
Inviting children to worship at a young age is very good for these children because it forces them to worship and follow his orders.religion at a young age is very influential, because he is accustomed to worship since childhood, practicing worship when he is an adult, for example prayer, praying, fasting in Ramadan, so after the child matures, he understands that Islam is a very important thing in his life.

Morals to parents
As explained by Imam Al Ghazali that it is important to punish the child and reward, praise and not reveal your secret if he does the opposite, that is, teach the child to obey teach him to respect and glorify someone older than him, because something like that would really define the child's character later.

Morality towards oneself Eating Customs
The first thing that is good to see in children is according to Al Ghazal they really crave food, then it would be nice if they were taught the manners of eating and drinking, namely.Read basmallah before eating using your right hand Taking food by taking before eating which is close to that and more.it is also recommended to get used to eat bread without additives, so that additional ingredients are not mandatory, and parents are also encouraged to include the value of simplicity.

Customs in dress
Al Ghazali emphasized that the children who must be taught to wear white clothes and not another color or silk, because these clothes are only worn by women or people who resemble them or (sissy) are suitable for men, then parents should keep their children away from the habit of living in luxury, love of jewelry, pursuit of worldly pleasures and all kinds of luxuries and excessive life, because it has a negative effect.About the effect it had on him, Priest Al Ghazali also warned about the dangers of someone who loves gold and silver, so as parents we must teach from an early age and understand how bad it is to love gold and silver excessively.

Modest in sleep
Al Ghazali emphasized that children should not get used to sleeping during the day, because it has a negative effect, namely laziness.But on the contrary, if we do not deprive the child of sleep at night, we also do ours.parents don't spoil our children by sleeping on a soft mattress, so that their bodies become strong during.

Patience and Courage
Al Ghazal describes restraint for children who are punished or being persecuted by educators for help or shouting loudly about their mistakes, because of what a boy has to do, he's in charge, patient, brave and ready to do the work.accept the consequences, the goal is that students are accustomed to and able to be patient, assertive and courageous, accept the punishment and shape their personality to be people who are truly responsible for what they make.

Procedure for Walking
According to Al Ghazal's explanation, children are advised not to move their feet too fast and not to point their hands down but keep both hands on the sides of the body.The Akhlak Aqidah has the following objectives: 1. Cultivating and developing the basis of divinity from birth Humans are divine beings.Since birth humans are driven to acknowledge the existence of God 2. Aqidah Akhlak also aims to form a noble and noble Muslim person A Muslim who has a noble character always behaves commendably, both when dealing with Allah SWT, with fellow humans, other creatures and with the natural environment.Therefore, the embodiment of a noble Muslim person in the form of concrete actions becomes a goal in aqeedah morals.

Avoid yourself from the influence of misleading thoughts
Humans are given advantages by Allah over other creatures in the form of reason.
Opinions or thoughts that are solely based on human reason, sometimes mislead the man himself.Therefore, the mind needs to be guided by moral aqeedah so that humans are free or avoid a misguided life.
