Abstract

Surah Al-Kahf represents one of the important examples in the pedagogical approach, and among the etiquettes of Surah Al-Kahf is the learner accompanying the scholar, and the follower accompanying the follower. The etiquettes of the scholar and the learner therein bless the act of following, as the verses of the Surah illustrate these etiquettes through clear situations in its narrative context. The study aims to uncover the etiquettes of dialogue in seeking knowledge through the dialogue between Moses (peace be upon him) and Al-Khidr, derived from Surah Al-Kahf. The study utilized the inductive and descriptive methods. The study addressed several key points, namely: first, the importance of dialogue. Second, dialogue in Surah Al-Kahf: where Quranic stories dominate in Surah Al-Kahf. Third, the etiquettes of dialogue in Surah Al-Kahf, including: gentleness in dialogue, returning knowledge to Allah, good listening, choosing appropriate words, and showing empathy towards interlocutors. The study concluded by highlighting the most significant findings, including considering the Quran as a source of etiquettes in nurturing a generation capable of accepting and coexisting with others in a multicultural society. Surah Al-Kahf, among the chapters of the Quran, encapsulates many etiquettes of dialogue that must be cultivated and activated in education and upbringing.
