Abstract

Introduction: Akhlaq, or moral character, plays a pivotal role in human existence, encompassing the virtues that a servant must embody in life. Influenced by factors such as peers, society, and life experiences, an individual's akhlaq is particularly crucial for orphans who contend with the emotional and financial challenges of losing their loved ones. This study delves into the morality, social standards, and spiritual aspects of orphans at Pusat Jagaan Hembusan Kasih Sayang, exploring their interactions with each other, teachers, and society. Objective: The aim is to investigate the moral and social behaviors, as well as inner feelings, of orphans towards one another, teachers, and society. Methods: A qualitative cross-sectional study involved 20 Year 2 undergraduate students from the Kulliyyah of Pharmacy, with 50 children and 5 caregivers participating in the survey. The study utilized a self-report questionnaire through the Google Forms platform, including both "Yes" or "No" questions and open-ended inquiries. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Results: The orphans in the study exhibited strong moral values, regularly engaging in religious practices such as daily prayers and Quran recitation. They demonstrated positive behavior towards their guardians, friends, and in everyday life, reflecting a well-rounded moral upbringing. Conclusion: The orphans at Pusat Jagaan Hembusan Kasih Sayang displayed commendable morality, fulfilling religious obligations and exhibiting kindness towards others. Their genuine commitment to positive actions, including prayers, Quran recitation, and helping each other, highlights the effectiveness of their moral education. This study emphasizes the importance of nurturing moral values in orphans to mitigate potential negative impacts on their character.
