Abstract

This study aimed to examine aspects of caring for students with underachievement in the context of Islamic thought, using the descriptive approach. The results revealed that the care of students with underachievement according to the Islamic teachings varied between preventive care and curative care. Preventive care varied between self-care, the most prominent of which were sincerity of intention in seeking knowledge, avoiding sins, patience in learning, choosing appropriate times to seek knowledge, perseverance, humility in seeking knowledge, abandoning wonder, and the family care, the most prominent of which were taking responsibility from God, good choice of spouses, fairness between children, and mental education of the child. Moreover, school care, the most prominent of which were the teacher's eligibility to teach,  taking into account the influence of the role model factor on the personality of students, compassion for learners, justice among them, and gradual education. The curative care consisted of building and strengthening self-confidence, stimulating and developing motivation, taking into account individual differences, indoctrination and repetition, studying, and developing moral values.
