This study aims to comprehensively analyze educational values in Nadhom Alala Tanalul ‘Ilma by Sheikh Imam al-Zarnuji to produce a synthesis of learning methodology relevant to contemporary challenges. The research explores 37 nadhoms to identify fundamental educational values that can be integrated into developing contemporary Islamic education models. This library research employs qualitative descriptive methods with Miles & Huberman’s analysis framework through four simultaneous processes: data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal four classifications of educational values: (1) learning preparation; (2) motivation and appreciation of knowledge; (3) ethics and learning etiquette; (4) application and practice of knowledge. Each category reflects a holistic approach integrating cognitive, affective, and psychomotor dimensions in structured learning. The study demonstrates that learning methodology in Kitab Alala was systematically developed far preceding Western modern educational concepts, with 37 nadhoms based on religious morals to form good character through integration of moral conduct, knowledge, and practical skills. The practical contribution provides recommendations for developing an Islamic education curriculum based on Nadhom Alala’s values relevant to society’s 5.0 era challenges. read more…
