Peran Bimbingan Konseling Qur’Ani dalam Upaya Pencegahan Perilaku Bullying di Panti Asuhan Al Ihsan Banjarmasin

Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the role of Koranic guidance and counseling in preventing bullying behavior at Al Ihsan Orphanage, Banjarmasin. Bullying is viewed as a form of deviant behavior that can negatively affect children’s psychological condition, social relationships, and character development. Therefore, an approach is needed that is not only oriented toward problem solving but also directed toward the formation of moral and spiritual values. In this context, Koranic guidance and counseling is considered an alternative approach that integrates the teachings of the Qur’an as a guide for moral development, the cultivation of empathy, and the promotion of mutual respect and compassion among individuals .This research employed a qualitative approach with a field research design. Data were collected through observation, interviews with caregivers, counselors, and foster children, as well as documentation. The data were then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The validity of the data was examined using source triangulation and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that Koranic guidance and counseling plays an important role in preventing bullying behavior through the internalization of Islamic values, moral development, the provision of advice based on Koranic verses, the habituation of worship practices, and both individual and group mentoring. Through this approach, foster children’s awareness of the importance of respecting others, controlling emotions, and resolving conflicts peacefully can be enhanced. Nevertheless, the implementation of the counseling process still faces several obstacles, such as differences in children’s personalities, diverse family backgrounds, and limited time available for guidance activities. Overall, Koranic guidance and counseling has made a positive contribution to creating a more conducive, safe, and harmonious orphanage environment and to supporting the sustainable prevention of bullying behavior.
