Urgensi Etika Moral di Tengah Krisis Nilai Zaman Modern: Surat Al-Hujurat Ayat 9-13

Abstract

This study aims to examine the urgency of internalizing moral ethics in contemporary life from the perspective of the Qur’an, with a particular focus on Surah Al-Hujurat verses 9–13 as a guide for social ethics. The research employs a qualitative-descriptive method using a normative-theological approach, analyzing the Qur’anic text in relation to current social phenomena. The findings reveal that the universal values embedded in these verses justice (al-‘adl), brotherhood (ukhuwwah), and piety (taqwa) are highly relevant in shaping individual character and maintaining social harmony. The Qur’an serves not only as a guide for ritual worship but also as a strong ethical foundation for building a just, tolerant, and dignified society. Character education based on Qur’anic values is considered a viable solution to the ongoing moral decline, especially among the younger generation. The value of justice underscores the importance of fair conflict resolution, brotherhood fosters social solidarity, and piety nurtures deep spiritual awareness. The study concludes that the cultivation of Qur’anic moral values must begin within the family and be reinforced through both formal and informal education to develop a generation that excels intellectually, morally, and spiritually.
