THE RELEVANCE OF THE VALUES IN SONG LYRICS TO EARLIER STORIES IN THE PROPHET’S HADITHS

Description

What happens when a contemporary song speaks to a timeless prophetic story?

This book offers a thoughtful exploration of the Islamic educational and character values embedded in La’allahu Khair, a song by Humood Alkhuder, and brings them into dialogue with the prophetic account of the three men tested by illness, hardship, and the restoration of their fortunes. Through a qualitative literature based study and content analysis, the author reveals a meaningful connection between artistic expression and the ethical teachings of Islam.

At the heart of this work are values such as patience, trust in God, gratitude, positive thinking, faith, sincerity, moral responsibility, wisdom, independence, compassion, and spirituality. These values are not presented merely as abstract ideals. They are understood as sources of strength for facing hardship while remaining conscious of God and responsible toward others.

The book also opens a wider reflection on Islamic education. It suggests that meaningful educational values may be encountered not only in formal learning spaces, but also through literature, art, music, stories, and lived experience.
