Analysis of Islamic Educational Values in the Novel "About You" by Tere Liye on the Character of Sri Ningsih and Its Relevance to the Culture of Female Santri

Abstract

Islamic educational values are principles, teachings, and references derived from the Qur'an and Hadith, which are then understood and developed through the perspectives of Islamic scholars and prominent Islamic educational thinkers. This study aims to analyze the relevance of Islamic educational values represented by the character of Sri Ningsih in the novel Tentang Kamu by Tere Liye with the culture of female students at the Hikmatussyarief NWDI Salut Islamic Boarding School. The research approach used in this study is a qualitative research approach, the types of research used are library studies and field studies. Data collection techniques use documentation, interviews, and observations. Data analysis techniques used are content analysis, and Miles and Huberman analysis. The results of the study show that the Islamic educational values of the character Sri Ningsih have a strong relevance to the culture of female students, which include the values of faith in the form of faith and tawakal, the value of worship through the habit of carrying out worship consistently, and moral values that include patience, discipline, hard work, honesty, qana'ah, compassion and care, generosity, forgiveness, husnuzan, and obedience. Although the internalization of values in Sri Ningsih's character is formed through life experiences, while in the female students it is developed through the education system and habituation in Islamic boarding schools, both demonstrate the same goal: to develop individuals who are faithful, pious, and have noble morals. Thus, the novel " About You" has significant relevance as a contextual learning medium for Islamic educational values and can support the character development of female students in Islamic boarding schools.
