Abstract

This study clarifies terminological distinctions among ‘ilm, science, and knowledge across Western, Arabic, and Indonesian scholarly traditions and examines the pedagogical implications of QS. Al-Mujadilah (58:11) and QS. Al-Fathir (35:28) for Islamic education in Indonesia. A qualitative literature review with narrative synthesis was employed, drawing on classical tafsir, Arabic lexica, contemporary exegesis, philosophy of science, policy documents, and peer-reviewed research in Arabic, English, and Indonesian. Reflexive thematic synthesis generated three convergent findings. First, Western and Arabic traditions distinguish structured scientific products, practices or methods, and general knowledge, whereas Indonesian usage often conflates these meanings. Second, the two Qur’anic verses emphasize an integrative ideal that links iman, ‘ilm, and ethical conduct, highlighting social responsibility and the elevated status of knowledgeable believers. Third, these conceptual and scriptural resources support an integrative, contextual, and multidisciplinary model of Islamic education. The study proposes an operational orientation of ‘ilm as epistemically rigorous, ethically grounded, and socially engaged. It concludes that Islamic education in Indonesia should strengthen curricular integration between Qur’anic values, contemporary sciences, and digital literacy; enhance teacher professionalization and inclusive accreditation; and develop interdisciplinary training supported by collaborative research ecosystems. These findings contribute to Islamic educational thought by offering a conceptually grounded framework for aligning Qur’anic epistemology with contemporary educational reform, while also identifying the need for future empirical evaluation of the proposed reforms.

Abstract

Al-Ghazali, through his seminal work Iḥyā’ ‘Ulūm al-Dīn, has made enduring contributions to Islamic educational thought. However, certain aspects of his philosophy, such as the dichotomy of knowledge and the authoritative role of the teacher have sparked debate when examined in light of contemporary educational challenges. This study seeks to reassess the relevance of Al-Ghazali's educational philosophy within the context of the millennial generation, focusing on academic objectives, pedagogical approaches, epistemology, and the ethics governing educators and learners. Employing a qualitative, descriptive literature review method, the research analyzes Al-Ghazali’s primary texts alongside relevant secondary sources. Findings indicate that while Al-Ghazali’s educational paradigm shaped by his Sufi orientation, emphasizes character formation and spiritual development, several of his more traditional views warrant critical reevaluation. Specifically, the rigid classification of knowledge and the absolute authority of teachers may hinder adaptation to 21st-century educational demands, which prioritize creativity, collaboration, and technological integration. Nevertheless, core elements of his thought, such as the integration of moral values, the principle of gradual learning, and the emphasis on self-purification, remain pertinent to contemporary character education. Accordingly, Al-Ghazali’s educational philosophy continues to offer both inspiration and a critical framework for shaping a progressive and contextually grounded model of Islamic education in the millennial era.
