Abstract

Islamic education in Malaysia is at a crossroads where traditional teachings intersect with contemporary educational methodologies. The al-Linggi Spiritual Development Module, inspired by Tasawwuf  principles, offers a potential path to address the spiritual needs of students, emphasizing the role of repentance in soul purification. This article provides a numerical study on the widely recognized importance of spiritual education. The study aims to assess the usability of the al-Linggi Spiritual Development Module in fostering spiritual growth and moral development among students. This study utilized the Nominal Group Technique (NGT), engaging 16 experts in a structured decision-making process to assess the al-Linggi Spiritual Development Module's content and teaching strategies, especially its approach to teaching repentance, through semi-quantitative analysis. The results are expected to show that the NGT analysis will reveal a high consensus among experts on the module's suitability for enhancing students' spiritual development. The findings aim to highlight the module's effectiveness in integrating reflective and interactive teaching methods, thereby promoting a deeper understanding and practice of Islamic principles among students. The implications of this research strive to provide valuable insights into the usability of the al-Linggi Spiritual Development Module for tazkiyyah al-nafs, emphasizing the role of repentance in spiritual education.
