Social and Cultural Concepts in Islamic Education

Abstract

Social and cultural concepts are the order of people’s lives that includes various things, such as customs, knowledge, beliefs, morals, value systems, language, religion, art, music, and dance—socioculture results from the mindset and intellect of humans who live in society. In social life, humans create various things with their minds and consciences. The social concept in Islam emphasizes the principles of justice and goodness to guarantee the happiness and well-being of society and individuals. Islam teaches that every human being has a social responsibility towards society. Some characteristics of Islamic teachings in the social field are upholding help, mutual respect, solidarity, and togetherness. To teach a more universal tasammuh, not to look at and side only with specific groups. It does not tolerate class wars, social castes, or individual domination over society to know how social and cultural concepts in Islam. So, the method used is qualitative descriptive. The results are great religious attention, in this case, to social problems, by proposing the following five reasons: First, in the Qur’an or hadith books, the second largest proportion of Islamic sources is related to the affairs of muamalah. Second, the emphasis on the problem of muamalah (social) in Islam is that if the matter of worship coincides with the essential affairs of muama, then worship can be shortened (certainly not abandoned) but still done as it should be.
