This study aimed to assess the concept of mau'izhah hasanah as an Islamic Education method. This was library research using primary sources of the tafsir of Qur'an and the thoughts of Islamic Education leaders. The results of this study showed a picture that teachers who implement mau'izhah hasanah must behave and act according to what they say, convey messages with kindness, affection and sincerity. Mau'izhah hasanah is used as a method to teach kindness using affection, calmness and compassion.
