This article constructs a prophetic education model based on the Sirah of the Battle of Badr through an integrative literature review. In this study, prophetic education refers to an educational process that reconstructs the Prophet Muhammad’s values, actions, relationships, and decisions into learning principles integrating divine orientation, reasoning, social responsibility, and ethical action. The data comprised four primary sources—the Qur’an and three classical Sirah works—and 50 journal articles published in Scopus-indexed journals. The analysis combined chronological-pedagogical reconstruction, thematic coding, cross-study comparison, and conceptual synthesis. The findings identify eight core values: tawhid and trust in God, consultation, strategic intelligence, discipline, courage, resilience, solidarity, and compassionate justice. These values are operationalized through exemplary conduct, deliberative dialogue, narrative reflection, spiritual habituation, role differentiation, experiential learning, motivational reinforcement, and reflective ethical evaluation. The synthesis produces the Badr Model: Belief orientation, Analysis and adaptive strategy, Deliberation and disciplined action, Affective resilience and altruistic solidarity, and Reflective ethical evaluation. The model offers a contextual and peace-oriented framework for Islamic Religious Education that supports spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional, and leadership formation. As a conceptual construction, the model requires expert validation and empirical testing.
