Abstract

This study explores the influence of Qur’anic verses on shaping Islamic ethics and morality within the English-speaking Muslim community at Al Urwatul Wutsqaa Benteng. The research was conducted to examine how Qur’anic values are internalized in daily behavior and social interaction, as well as to identify the main challenges faced by students in implementing these ethical principles in a multilingual and multicultural pesantren environment. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis involving five purposively selected participants.

The findings reveal that the Qur’an functions as a significant moral foundation for the students, particularly through the concept of al-ihsan, which fosters sincerity, self-awareness, and moral responsibility. Qur’anic values such as honesty, justice, compassion, patience, and respect for parents are shown to contribute to positive character formation. However, the research also identifies persistent challenges in their practical application, especially in the domain of informal social ethics. The primary obstacles include inconsistent mutual respect between senior and junior students, limited control of speech in daily interactions, and the strong influence of peer groups whose habitual communication patterns do not fully align with Qur’anic guidance. The limited use of English in daily communication also affects the process of internalizing values within English-speaking activities.

In conclusion, Qur’anic verses have strong transformative potential in shaping Islamic ethical awareness among students, but the consistent implementation of these values requires continuous guidance, supportive social environments, and strengthened ethical habituation. This research contributes to the development of Islamic ethics studies by highlighting the role of Qur’anic teachings in multicultural educational contexts and by offering insights into the moral challenges faced by English-speaking Muslim communities in contemporary pesantren settings.
