Abstract
Love, as a method of education, has a prominent role in education, and it has its importance and educational means, and it has its fruits for the educator and the educated. Therefore, the Islamic approach, represented by its two sources - the Qur’an and the Sunnah - has confirmed the importance of this method in education, to produce generations that are beneficial to themselves and their nation. The Holy Qur’an has indicated this. The style is found in many verses, including what confirms God’s telling of His love for certain types of people. He mentioned their actions and characteristics, with the intention of enhancing their positive behavior.With societal changes and contemporary global changes, the need to know the educational methods that have the most impact on young people increases, those methods that touch upon the emotions of belonging, loyalty, compassion, and tenderness on the one hand, and firmness, encouragement, direction, and fear on the other hand, so that the desired balance is achieved in building the individual and thus forming a society capable of Adapting to changes and facing contemporary challenges.
The current research aimed to identify the features of education with love in Quranic stories as an introduction to building a family in a changing world. The research used the fundamentalist approach, and the research included four main axes, namely: The first: the philosophy of education with love in light of Quranic stories. Second: Features of education with love in Quranic stories. Third: The role of the family in activating the method of education with love as a gateway to building its members in a correct Islamic structure in light of Qur’anic stories. Fourth: Some educational applications of the love education method, and how we can benefit from it in contemporary reality.
The research reached a set of results, including: that the features of education with love in the light of Qur’anic stories dealt with its goals, principles, and forms, and that the method of education with love has several forms, including: advice and guidance, and showing human feelings and emotions to children, and that Qur’anic stories are a moral and doctrinal school in the field of building a system of values. Especially the family, and that love cannot be separated from education, as education is a combination of love and guidance, and they are like the wings of a bird in the educational process.
