PENGGUNAAN BODY LANGUAGE DALAM PEMBELAJARAN DALAM PERSPEKTIF HADIS NABI MUHAMMAD SAW

Abstract

 This article aims to thematically examine the use of body language in the teaching practices of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as recorded in authentic hadiths, and to formulate pedagogical principles relevant to contemporary Islamic education. The study is motivated by the growing recognition of non-verbal communication as a vital component in effective teaching, which is widely explored in modern pedagogical discourse but rarely analyzed through the lens of prophetic tradition. This research employs a qualitative approach using library research methods, with descriptive-analytical techniques applied to selected hadiths from Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. The findings reveal that the Prophet actively utilized various forms of body language—such as hand gestures, facial expressions, changes in posture, and vocal intonation—as integral elements of his instructional method. These non-verbal cues not only reinforced verbal messages but also fostered emotional connection and clarity. In conclusion, the Prophet’s non-verbal communication holds substantial pedagogical value and serves as a transformative model for developing humanistic and communicative approaches in modern Islamic education.
