This study is about establishing a connection between Sufi classics and value education. Reading Sufi works with this perspective may constitute an intersection between Sufi literature and value education. The study aims to show that such a connection is possible and functional. In this study, the literature review method was used. Value education can be shown as an element that complements academic success in pre-school, primary and secondary education as well as being important in itself. The amount of efficiency to be obtained from the approaches, methods and techniques applied in value education depends primarily on the teacher. The concept of value is closely related to behavior. An effective value education improves the student's ability to distinguish right from wrong and serves as a reference for their attitudes and behaviors. Adult modeling plays a critical role in this process. A value that has not been studied in detail by the teacher is difficult to present with high performance. In order for teachers to gain an in-depth understanding of values, they should consult literary texts, sociology, anthropology, moral philosophy as well as Sufi literature. Sufism, which can be characterized as a kind of ""Muslim wisdom"", has contributed to the universe of morality and values along with language, culture, art and architecture in a geography stretching from Central Asia to the Balkans. In this article, some of the network of relationships between Sufi classics and value education is identified. The paper suggests that value educators benefit from the rich Sufi thought. The text of the paper is limited to the analysis of riya in al-Riʿāyah li-ḥuqūq Allah wa'l-ḳiyām bihā by al-Ḥarith al-Muḥāsibī (died 243/857), which is known as the first classic work of Sufism. By making connections between the chapter and value education, it is shown that Sufi classics are capable of providing qualified support for the mastery of domain knowledge needed to apply approaches to value education, especially direct teaching of values, value development, value analysis, and character education. In conclusion, by looking at the analysis of riya in al-Muḥāsibī's Al-Riʿāyah li-ḥuqūq Allah, it is possible to say that Sufi classics offer a wide range of possibilities for theoretical and practical solutions in the educational process in the planning phase of values education and when it comes to adult modeling in values education.
