Abstract


This study aims to examine curriculum innovation based on love and compassion (rahmatan lil ‘alamin) as an effort to develop humanistic and spiritual education in Islamic educational institutions. The study addresses the need to reconstruct Islamic education curricula in response to the growing crisis of humanity, moral values, and spirituality in modern education. It employs a qualitative approach using library research with a descriptive-interpretive and conceptual design. Data were collected through the identification, selection, examination, and documentation of relevant scholarly literature, Islamic normative sources, and official curriculum policies and guidelines issued by the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs. The data were analyzed through descriptive and interpretive analysis to identify the philosophical foundations, pedagogical principles, and educational implications of integrating love and compassion into curriculum development. The findings indicate that the rahmatan lil ‘alamin paradigm provides a comprehensive foundation for integrating humanistic and spiritual dimensions into Islamic education. Its implementation emphasizes empathy, compassion, tolerance, justice, respect, humanity, cooperation, responsibility, and creativity through learning activities, teacher role modeling, reflective practices, and a supportive educational environment. Furthermore, dialogical and collaborative learning can foster critical thinking, respect for diversity, emotional maturity, and spiritual awareness. The study concludes that a love-based curriculum can serve as a conceptual framework for addressing the crisis of values and radicalism while promoting holistic student development. However, its effectiveness depends on consistent integration into curriculum planning, teaching practices, and institutional culture.
