Internalization of the Leadership Values of the Rashidun Caliphs through Learning Islamic Civilization History at MAS Al-Ishlahiyah Binjai

Abstract

The research results indicate that the internalization of the leadership values of the *Khulafaur Rasyidin* (the Rightly Guided Caliphs) is achieved through an instructional process that integrates historical content with character value cultivation. Teachers employ various methods—such as lectures, discussions, the study of historical figures, and value reflection—to help students understand and apply these leadership values in their daily lives. The most prominently internalized values include honesty, responsibility, justice, discipline, and *musyawarah* (consultation). The success of this internalization process is further supported by the religious culture of the *madrasa*, character-building programs, and the exemplary conduct of teachers within the school environment. Thus, instruction in the History of Islamic Civilization proves effective as a means of fostering Islamic leadership character grounded in the example set by the *Khulafaur Rasyidin*. These findings align with previous studies emphasizing the importance of history education and the exemplary role of the *Khulafaur Rasyidin* in shaping students' leadership character.
