Kecerdasan emosi bertauhid dalam kalangan remaja Muslim Malaysia (Vitality of the tauhidic emotional intelligence of Malaysia’s Muslim adolescents)

Abstract

Dalam Model Ketenangan Hati (Kitab Kimiya al-Saadah) al-Ghazali memberi penekanan kepada empat domain utama yang membentuk kecerdasan emosi seseorang iaitu Mengenal Diri, Mengenal Allah, Mengenal Akhirat dan Mengenal Alam. Keempat-empat domain ini mengandungi elemen tauhid bagi mengukur tahap emosi remaja dari aspek takut, marah, benci, sayang, sedih, dengki dan malu. Kajian ini mengenal pasti tahap kecerdasan emosi bertauhid remaja Muslim di Malaysia berdasarkan Instrumen Kecerdasan Emosi Bertauhid. Data primer diperolehi dari temu selidik 1520 orang remaja daripada seluruh negara. Analisis hasil kajian mendapati tahap nilai kebolehpercayaan Alpha Cronbach bagi instrumen Kecerdasan Emosi Islam adalah tinggi (>0.8). Dapatan kajian juga menunjukkan skor min bagi tahap Mengenal Diri (min= 4.22, sp=0.35), Mengenal Allah (min=4.40, sp=0.40), Mengenal Akhirat (min=4.29, sp=0.42) dan Mengenal Alam (min=3.92, 0.44) adalah tinggi secara keseluruhannya. Cuma 4.3% daripada kalangan remaja ini mengakui tidak malu melakukan dosa dan maksiat kepada Allah SWT. Analisis data inferensi pula menunjukkan wujud perbezaan tahap kecerdasan emosi Islam berdasarkan aliran, lokasi, jantina, keputusan Pendidikan PMR dan PAFA. Kajian ini berguna kepada autoriti agama dan kementerian pendidikan dalam usaha memantapkan kecerdasan emosi remaja berdasarkan tuntutan Islam yang sebenar.

The Tauhidic Emotional Intelligence Instrument was formulated based on al-Ghazali Heart Tranquility Model in his Kitab Kimiya al-Saadah. Al Ghazali emphasized on four major domains that mold one’s emotion, namely, Knowing Self, Knowing Allah, Knowing the Hereafter and Knowing the Universe. All four domains were formulated to measure the level of adolescent’s emotion from these aspects: anger, hatred, love, sadness, jealousy and shame. This research examined the level of Tauhidic Emotional Intelligence among Muslim adolescents in Malaysia. Primary data were gathered from questionnaire returns of 1520 teenagers randomly sampled from all over the country. The reliability level of the Tauhidic Emotional Intelligence instrument obtained a high (>0.8) Alpha Cronbach score. The findings showed generally high mean scores for Knowing Self (mean=4.22, sd=0.35), Knowing Allah (mean=4.40, sd=0.40), Knowing the Hereafter (mean=4.29, sd=0.42) and Knowing the Universe (mean=3.29, sd=o.44). Only 4.3% of the adolescents admitted of not feeling ashamed in committing sins and vices towards Allah SWT. Inferential data analysis demonstrated the difference in the level of Tauhidic emotional intelligence based on stream, location, gender, PMR and FAFA results. This research is useful to the religious authorities and education ministry in the effort to strengthen adolescents’ emotional intelligence as duly required in Islam.
