education are: 1) the value of aqidah education which contains the pillars of faith and
strengthening faith in good and bad destiny by not doing discarding grievances and fighting,
2) the value of sharia education which contains values in the implementation of the pillars of
Islam, 3) the value of moral education which contains Islamic personality values.

community using a rational development approach, clarification of values, cognitive, social
behavior, instilling values, and using internal strategies and skills development strategies.
