| description | Moral improvement is defined as a change in
behavior trait from bad to good, good to better and
better to best. Nowadays, many programs are
created and offered by psychologists, trainers and
motivators to help people, especially the youth, in
behavior modification. Expensive fees and
ineffective modules are overshadowed with
aggressive advertisements and exaggerated
testimonies. The tendency of parents in expecting
easy and fast positive changes in their children
aggravates the situation. In many cases, the
participants returned home with superficial and shortlived
developments. This paper therefore aims at
revisiting behavior modification method used by the
Prophet (p.b.u.h) and sees how this prophetic
method is able to produce successful people
throughout history in the persons of Abdul Rahman
bin Auf in business, Umar Abdul Aziz in governance
and so on. It is hoped that this prophetic method can
help our psychologists, trainers, motivators in
preparing and reviving their modules, as well as
parents in their relentless effort in improving their
childrenʼs behavior. |
