Abstract

ABSTRACT
Education should develop adequately all dimensions of human intelligences. One of the neglected intelligences is spiritual intelligence. Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) is a scientific finding, first conceived by Danah Zohar and Ian Marshall through very comprehensive research. Even though the SQ did not touch God at first, in Indonesia SQ was further interpreted as a transcendental relationship between humans and God. The purpose of this study is to explain and analyze the concept of Islamic Education about the development of Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) dimensions. The method used is a critical analytical method to the theory of spiritual intelligence in the perspective of Islamic Education. The concept of Islamic Education is known as the theory of tazkiyat al-nafs (purification of the soul). Tazkiyat al-nafs in Islamic Education can be seen from three perspectives, namely the perspective of the Quran, Al-Hadith, and Psychology. Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) in the concept of Islamic Education is tazkiyat al-nafs, namely efforts to spiritual purification, purify the soul, educate the mind, improve morals, and cleanse the body. All efforts are closely related to belief in Allah.
