The concept of mau'izhah hasanah is an appropriate method to use. This method is mentioned in the Qur'an, that the way of conveying messages can touch the hearts of students, making them easily absorb the messages. This study aimed to assess the concept of mau'izhah hasanah as an Islamic Education method. This was library research using primary sources of the tafsir of Qur'an and the thoughts of Islamic Education leaders. The results of this study showed a picture that teachers who implement mau'izhah hasanah must behave and act according to what they say, convey messages with kindness, affection and sincerity. Mau'izhah hasanah is used as a method to teach kindness using affection, calmness and compassion. Therefore, teachers who implement mau'izhah hasanah shall be affectionate and persuasive, as well as avoid selfishness. Teachers influence students psychologically and rationally in the forms of thinking framework and life experience, so that messages, learning materials and kindness will be conveyed faster and evoke belief in God in their soul that may create fear and submission so as to achieve the objectives of Islamic education.
