Abstract:
This discussion aims to explain further the foundation of Islamic education. The primary purpose of education in Islam is to create a good human being, a universal human being (al-insân al-kâmil). The science and technology that Islam wants to develop are a science and technology that focuses on physical and spiritual needs. Islamic education is a process of internalizing the values and cultivating manners in the human body, and this is what is called character education today. It is an indication that the educational paradigm in Islam refers to the moral, ethical, personality, moral-transcendental (affective) aspects while also not ignoring the cognitive (aspects sensual-logical) and psychomotor (sensual-empirical). It is relevant to the aspirations of Islamic education, namely religious aspirations, such as honesty, love, tolerance, discipline, responsibility, and more.
