Famili education, Surat luqman, Moral values, Islamic educationAbstract
This study aims to analyze the values of family education contained in Surah Luqman verses 12–19 and examine their relevance to contemporary family life. The analysis focuses on the foundations of faith and gratitude, moral responsibility and ethical discipline, worship practices and social ethics, as well as ethical communication and humility within the family context. This research employs a qualitative approach using library research, drawing on Qur’anic texts, classical and contemporary tafsir, and relevant peer-reviewed journal articles published within the last five years. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis to identify core educational values embedded in the verses and to contextualize them within modern family challenges. The findings reveal that Surah Luqman verses 12–19 present a comprehensive framework for family education, encompassing spiritual foundations, moral accountability, ethical discipline, social responsibility, and respectful communication. These values remain highly relevant in addressing contemporary issues such as moral decline, weakened family communication, and value disorientation. This article extends thematic tafsir studies of Surah Luqman (12–19) by integrating contemporary family education perspectives and psychological approaches in analyzing the values of gratitude and ethical communication within family life.
