<![CDATA[This research is motivated by the problem of scientific dichotomy in Islamic education which separates revelation and reason. This study aims to reconstruct the philosophy of Iqra' in Surah Al-'Alaq verses 1–5 as the foundation of Islamic education epistemology. This is a library research utilizing thematic exegesis and philosophical approaches. The results show that the philosophy of Iqra' contains three main epistemological principles: (1) Theocentric integration, where the source of knowledge (science and religion) originates from Allah; (2) Validation of scientific methods symbolized by Al-Qalam (pen/research) alongside revelation; and (3) Axiological balance between intellectual intelligence and spiritual awareness. The implications of these findings demand a transformation of the Islamic education curriculum towards integration and a shift in academic culture from rote learning to a research tradition to produce the Ulul Albab generation.]]>
