Bullying is the common case in educational field. Bullying often

This misunderstanding makes many educators and teachers become the bullies or
subjects of bullying. Educators are very close with Bullying, because the position
of educators has more authority in the school and the educational model in this
nation is Teacher – centered class model
Bullying becomes global educational issue because almost all of nation
entire the world has the bullying problems. There are differences about the
existence of bullying between in Indonesia and Western Countries, one of that is
the bully in Indonesia dominated by educator, while in western countries, the
bullies are more variations, such as educators, peers and family. In this research,
researcher more focused on Bullying case that included educators and students,
due to the close interaction between them.
Researcher use library research as the kind of research and take the
primaries data from two books, Tarbiyatul Aulad Fil Islam, written by Abdullah
Nasikh Ulwan dan Bullying: The Bullies, The Victims and the Bystanders, written
by Sandra Harris. Both books are considered to represent the Western and Islamic
thought on Bullying. These books explain the concept, existence and solutions on
Bullying, although in Tarbiyatul Aulad Fil Islam, Bullying term specifically is not
used by the author due to the difference era between the author and present.
This research focuses on (1) to know the concept of bullying according to
Abdullah Nasikh Ulwan and Sandra Harris. (2) to determine differences in the
concept of bullying according to Abdullah Nasikh Ulwan and Sandra Harris. This
study aimed to compare the concept, existence and solution for Bullying case.
Method of collecting data is done through collecting articles, data and journals
about Bullying. In analyzing data, the researcher uses qualitative comparative
techniques, namely by comparing data from different sources.
The research suggests that the concept of bullying, according to Abdullah
Nasikh Ulwan is one of the educational method through violence or punishment.
Although this method is allowed, it is the last method to educate children and
accompany with the strict requirements to be applied. Meanwhile, Sandra Harris
firmly rejected Bullying or educated student through violent, because violence can
impair mental and child psychology.
Researcher wish there was more research on Bullying, especially Bullying
in the view of Islam and its solution. So that the later generations would be
realized free from violence in the name of education.
