PEDAGOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF FAMILY UPBRINGING: SHAPING CHILDREN’S MORAL AND COMMUNICATIVE CULTURE THROUGH HADITH-BASED ETHICAL GUIDANCE

Abstract

This article explores the pedagogical principles of family upbringing based on the seminal works of Shaykh Muhammad Sodiq Muhammad Yusuf, particularly in his treatise Happy Family. The study emphasizes children’s education as a sacred responsibility of parents, integrating moral, intellectual, and physical development. The research highlights the relevance of Hadith guidance, specifically: “Respect your children and refine their manners,” as a foundational ethical framework. Furthermore, the article connects traditional Islamic educational wisdom with modern pedagogical theories, particularly Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences, demonstrating their applicability in cultivating children’s holistic potential. The findings underscore that moral upbringing, combined with intellectual and physical development, fosters well-rounded individuals who contribute positively to society.
