Validity and Reliability Study of The Prophetic Hadith Practices Module in Islamic Counseling (M-AHKI)

Abstract

The practice of integrating Prophetic hadith into counseling sessions represents a significant approach in strengthening the spiritual dimension and Islamic values within the helping process. However, this effort remains limited as the integration of Prophetic hadith into counseling practice requires specific knowledge and skills. Hence, counselors need a systematic guide or module to assist them in effectively incorporating Prophetic hadith into their counseling practices. Accordingly, this study was conducted to evaluate the content validity of overall module by appointed experts, to collect their feedback and suggestions for improvement, and subsequently to assess the reliability level of the developed module in enhancing counselors’ knowledge and skills to integrate hadith into Islamic counseling practice more effectively. The content validity assessment involved six experts in the fields of Usuluddin, Counseling, and Psychology, while thirty registered counselors were selected to test reliability. The findings indicated that the content validity of the module was 87.5%, while the overall Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficient was 0.967, reflecting very high internal consistency. The results confirm that the M-AHKI is a valid and reliable guidance module with strong potential to be utilized in the training and practice of Islamic counseling grounded in Prophetic hadith.
