This study aims to explore the progressivism of character education in Sang Pencerah's novel, describe the character values of social piety within K.H.A. Dahlan's teachings in Sang Pencerah, and formulate K.H.A.'s prophetic values. Methodology: The research consists of a descriptive-qualitative study including a single case study design. Data was collected through documentation, marking, and source triangulation. The data analysis technique consists of a descriptive-reflective-holistic method (DRH) which reinforces the Constant Comparative analysis (CCA) of Fram's Model. CCA-integrated DRH application is employed in the stage of describing the findings of the implementation of progressivism values, integrating each character education value, reducing findings on social piety, and formulating prophetic theoretical generalisation originating from Dahlan's teachings. The four methods were also followed by an external socio-pragmatic analysis. Results: The results of this study reveal the progressivist values of Dahlan's teachings consisting of pure Tawheed (monotheism/unity of God), deep understanding of the Qur'an and Sunnah, functionality, contextuality, being solutive, present- and future-orientation, tolerance, moderation and co-operation. Reducing poverty through education and health services are concrete and authentic ummah (the people) related matters. The piety value of Dahlan's social teachings reflect a 'man of action'. 'He made history for his work than his words' refers to solving ummah related problems together with his students by establishing schools, hospitals, orphanages and nursing homes. Social situations and religious practices need continuous effort. Applications/Originality/Value: The values of Dahlan's social teachings include compassion, patient, helpful, generosity, humanity, as well as authentic spiritual values including sensitivity and social responsibility. It also includes a high degree of honesty, sincerity, and respecting humanity as main pillars of social piety. © 2020 Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
