-

Abstract

Abstract: The study of positive psychology was first introduced by the American
psychologist Seligman in the early 2000s. Included in this study is the role of
parents in instilling positive emotions and character strength to children. In
addition to parents, teachers also play a role in developing positive psychological
behaviors, especially in terms of motivation. This study focuses on the research of
Imam Al-Bukhari, a great figure in the field of hadith in the context of whether
the family and the education system in his time has had a great influence on his
character and psychological behavior to succeed as a leading figure in the field of
hadith. This study found that the backbone of Imam Al-Bukhari’s success was due
to the blessings and pleasure of his parents and teachers. This factor shows how
important the spiritual element is in the field of psychology and it needs to be
given attention in that field. As a conclusion, this qualitative pattern study
successfully finds spiritual function, in triggering internal motivations that can be
harnessed for the strengthening of positive character and emotions in the field of
modern psychology.
