Abstract

Islamic religious education has been an effort to cultivate and strengthen the tendency toward Tawhid (monotheism), which is an inherent human nature (fitrah). Islamic religious education teachers also play a crucial role in shaping an individual's personality, particularly a Muslim's personality, especially when such religious education is provided intensively and gradually.
