PAI teachers have a vital responsibility in providing comprehensive understanding of the concept of tawakkal (reliance on Allah) that is not passive but based on trust in Allah while still making necessary efforts. They also play a role in identifying and avoiding unhealthy or superstitious beliefs that may be prevalent in the community in relation to natural disasters. PAI teachers impart Islamic ethics and values, such as solidarity, compassion, and justice, that should be applied in emergency response efforts. They guide students in understanding verses from the Quran related to natural disasters, offering a deeper Islamic perspective on how to face disasters with patience and reliance on Allah. PAI teachers also contribute to community support mobilization, teach prayers and worship in the face of disasters, and provide emotional and spiritual support to students in need. They serve as role models for students and the community, incorporating Islamic values into disaster responses and fostering positive attitudes and actions in the face of challenges. With these roles, PAI teachers significantly contribute to building a stronger, more prepared, and more compassionate community in dealing with natural disasters, making Islamic values the primary guide in every aspect of life.
