Rekonstruksi Peran Ayah dalam Pendidikan Anak: Kajian Tafsir Q.S. Luqman: 13-19 dan Q.S. Ibrahim: 40 dalam Merespons Fenomena Indonesia sebagai Fatherless Country

Abstract

The phenomenon of fatherless country has become one of the hidden crises currently afflicting Indonesia. Data indicates that Indonesia ranks third in the world as a country with the highest rate of fatherlessness, where millions of children grow up without the active involvement of a father in their education. This condition has serious impacts on children’s moral, emotional, and intellectual development. On the other hand, the Qur’an explicitly presents the figure of the father as the primary educator in the family, as depicted in Q.S. Luqman: 13-19 and Q.S. Ibrahim: 40. This study aims to reconstruct the role of fathers in children’s education based on the interpretation of these two verses, and to implement them as a response to the fatherless crisis in Indonesia. The method used is maudhu’i (thematic) tafsir with a contextual approach. The results show that the Qur’an offers a comprehensive model of fatherly education, encompassing tauhid, moral, worship, and social education, which is highly relevant to addressing the crisis of father absence in Indonesia.
