This paper aims to explain the concept of Thomas Lickona's character education based on the study of Islamic psychology. Thomas character education is an educational design oriented to moral knowledge, moral feelings, and moral action. Overall character education can be defined as a way of thinking and behaving based on aspects of knowledge (cognitive), feelings (feeling), and action (action). Islamic psychology is considered relevant in examining aspects of psychology contained in Thomas Lickona's character education. Islamic psychology is literally a science that discusses human behavior and soul based on an Islamic perspective.
