Abstract

Infancy is a golden as well as critical period in human life that significantly determines physical, intellectual, social, emotional, moral, and religious development. This developmental process begins during the prenatal period and progresses rapidly within the first two years of life, marked by the maturation of the nervous system, brain, and essential bodily functions. At this stage, infants are highly responsive to environmental stimulation, particularly parental interaction, caregiving patterns, and role modeling as the first form of education. From an Islamic educational perspective, infancy serves as a crucial foundation for instilling values of faith, morality, and spirituality through habituation, a religious atmosphere, and exemplary behavior. Early Islamic education is not limited to cognitive development but also emphasizes affective and psychomotor dimensions to shape a child’s character holistically. This study employs a literature review method with a descriptive-analytical approach to relevant scholarly sources on infant development and Islamic education. The findings indicate that optimal infant development requires an integrated approach encompassing physical, intellectual, socio-emotional, moral, and religious aspects. Therefore, Islamic education during infancy plays a strategic role in forming a strong foundation for a child’s personality, moral character, and spiritual growth, preparing them for subsequent stages of development.
