Abstract

Character development in Islam is significant among Muslims in order to fulfill the notion of acting with good conduct and righteous deeds. This notion is stated as one of the fundamentals of Islam, whereby Mahmudah morality, which represents the good attitudes based on al-Quran and as-Sunnah, is stated as an important aspect of character development. The aim of this study is to know what the activities are to develop a good character for children of Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) in Indonesia Community Centre (ICC) Muar, Johor. This study uses a case study as a qualitative method through interviews, observations, and document analysis involving eight informants. The results of the study found that the activities carried out by ICC Muar to form a good character for PMI children are through the worship approach, such as learning to perform ablution, praying, reading the Qur'an, following religious talks, helping each other, helping friends in distress and cultures ingrained which relates to the character development in the community center.
