Abstract:

Abstract Moral education is crucial as it gives positive impacts on both individuals and the society around them. However, moral decadence continues to prevail among adolescents. To solve this issue, literature studies can serve as a solution. The novel Negeri 5 Menara depicts the lives of santri (muslim students who are studying Islam as education) in pondok pesantren (Islamic boarding school) that emphasizes morality. The purpose of this research is to find the moral representations that can be role modeled and implemented to strengthen Pancasila students profile. Therefore, the focus of this research is the representation of santri's akhlak in the Negeri 5 Menara novel and its relevance as a literacy material to strengthening Pancasila students profile. This research uses content analysis as a method. The object and data source of this research is a literary work titled Negeri 5 Menara. The data is obtained through precise, critical, and in-depth reading of discourses or quotations that explicitly or implicitly relate to the depiction of santri’s akhlak and values in Negeri 5 Menara novel. In the Negeri 5 Menara novel, the santri’s behavior can be found depicting morals to God, morals to parents, morals to teachers, morals to each other, and morals to oneself. Whereas in Pancasila student profile, the dimensions of faith, devotion to the God Almighty, and morality are emphasized to form religious morals, personal morals, morals to humans, morals to nature, and morals to the country. This research exploration has found relevance between the results and the Pancasila student profile. The representation of akhlak in Negeri 5 Menara can be used as an excellent reference on how a student should behave, either to God, to others, or to themselves. In addition, Negeri 5 Menara has the potential to be a literacy material to develop good morals in students.
