Martabat Manusia dalam Pendidikan Agama Islam dan Implikasinya Terhadap Asuhan Kebidanan yang Bermartabat

Abstract

The concept of human dignity in Islamic teaching provides a robust ethical foundation for dignified midwifery care, yet the explicit integration of Islamic educational values into midwifery professionalism remains underexplored in the literature. This study aims to analyze the concept of human dignity (karamah insaniyyah) and human potential (fitrah and khalifah) in Islamic religious education and their implications for dignified midwifery practice in Indonesia. A systematic literature review with thematic analysis was conducted, selecting 15 studies from 148 records identified across five databases (Google Scholar, PubMed, SpringerLink, DOAJ, and Garuda/Sinta) after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Four major themes emerged: (1) Islamic constructs of human potential aql, qalb, and jasad as the theological basis for holistic midwifery; (2) human dignity as a universal-Islamic ethical principle underlying respectful maternity care; (3) Islamic religious education as a formative force for empathetic and ethical midwives; and (4) humanization of midwifery services through the integration of Islamic values. Findings indicate that the concept of khalifah obligates midwives to treat every mother and infant as a sacred trust (amanah), while karamah insaniyyah requires unconditional respect for patients' rights, privacy, and spiritual needs. The article proposes a three-pillar model of dignified midwifery recognition of human potential, respect for dignity, and internalization of Islamic values and recommends integrating these principles into national midwifery competency standards and education curricula.
