The present study aims to elucidate the construction of the values of the Qur’an as the basis for the Islamic education development based on Abdullah Saeed’s thought. The concept of a hierarchy of values initiated by Abdullah Saeed is a continuation of Rahman’s general principles, proposing a new way of looking at the ethico-legal verses in the Qur’an, so that this concept is very pivotal in contemporary Qur’anic studies. Framed in a library research with a content analysis, this study constructed a basic framework from the values of the Qur’an. Abdullah Saeed’s book entitled “Interpreting the Qur’an: Towards a Contemporary Approach” became the primary source in obtaining the data. Study findings reveal that the construction of the Qur’anic values comprises obligatory, fundamental, protective, implementation, and instructional values. The construction can be adopted as the basis for Islamic education development regarding the institution, courses, values and culture. This study also demonstrates that Qur’anic values-based Islamic education is completely projected to produce qualified and competitive human resources in the globalized age.
