MAKNA TAWAKAL DAN SYUKUR SEBAGAI IMPLEMENTASI AKHLAK KEPADA ALLAH PADA ANAK USIA REMAJA

Abstract

This study examines the meaning of tawakkul (religious trust) and gratitude as manifestations of morality towards Allah in adolescents. Using a qualitative literature study, this study examines spiritual concepts derived from the Qur'an, hadith, and the thoughts of scholars such as Al-Ghazali, Ibn Qayyim, and other Sufi scholars. Tawakkul is understood as an attitude of complete reliance on Allah after maximum effort has been made, which gives rise to serenity, surrender, and confidence in His decree. Gratitude is understood as a deep acknowledgment and appreciation for Allah's blessings through knowledge, the condition of the heart, and deeds involving the tongue, heart, and limbs. This study found that tawakkul and gratitude are two important levels in morality towards Allah that complement each other. Tawakkal forms steadfastness in facing the future, while gratitude fosters appreciation for the blessings already received. In adolescents, these two attitudes play a role in shaping noble morality towards Allah, fostering optimism, contentment, spiritual tranquility, and positive behavior in daily life. Thus, trust in God and gratitude are not only theological teachings, but also essential foundations for developing the character of Muslim youth with commendable morals and balanced personalities.
