In such conditions, the foundation of religious spirituality finds its point of relevance. The orientation of education is not only focus in shaping the intellectualintelligence of the child, but also will foster social and emotional intelligence. In connection with the discussion, the education story of Luqman al-Hakim contained in the Qur’an finds its momentum, as a religious philosophical foundation in the process of character formation of children.The educational goal according to Luqman is to form a man of faith, Islam and morality, because all three are unified and can not be separated from one another.
