Character education according to Umar Baradja is a series of basic concepts in forming the qualities, characters, and habits that must be possessed by children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly. Umar based his values (character) on the obligation of a servant to his Creator and his family's Prophet, father, mother, siblings, relatives, and all humans. The character recommended by Umar Baradja directs humans towards the goodness of the world and the hereafter, meaning that the goodness of the world can be trusted, honest, wise, patient, generous, and so on. The goodness of the hereafter is saved from God's anger. The attributes of ethics are divided into two, namely praiseworthy ethics and blameworthy ethics. Meanwhile, ethics based on its scope are divided into two, namely ethics towards God and ethics towards creatures, namely ethics towards fellow humans, which include ethics towards oneself, ethics towards others (family and community), and ethics towards creatures other than humans, namely ethics towards the environment.
