Abstract

Background. The dominance of Western empirical paradigms in educational sociology has limited the integration of revelation as a primary source of knowledge in Islamic intellectual traditions. This creates a gap in developing a comprehensive Islamic sociological framework. Purpose. This study aims to formulate a concise educational framework that contributes to the development of a grand theory of Islamic Sociology based on the integration of revelation and social science. Method. This research employs a qualitative approach using literature review and conceptual analysis of classical Islamic texts, works of Islamic sociologists, and contemporary academic publications. Results. The findings show that integrating revelation and social science generates a sociological paradigm that incorporates empirical, normative, and transcendental dimensions. The study highlights a conceptual model that bridges religious values and scientific analysis, offering a more holistic understanding of educational and social realities. Conclusion. This study offers a novel theoretical contribution by providing an integrated framework that strengthens the foundation for developing Islamic Sociology and enriches contemporary educational discourse with a more comprehensive and value-based approach.
