<![CDATA[This study aims to comparatively analyze the concepts of Islamic and Western educational philosophy and formulate an integrative synthesis of both in developing a contemporary educational approach. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research method through content analysis techniques on relevant primary and secondary sources, including books, scientific articles, and academic literature on Islamic and Western educational philosophy. Data analysis is carried out through the stages of data reduction, theme categorization, data presentation, and drawing conclusions using descriptive-analytical-comparative methods. The results show that Islamic education is based on the principle of monotheism that integrates revelation and reason in the formation of people who are faithful, pious, and have noble character, while Western education is based on rationalism and empiricism that emphasize the development of intellectual, critical, and innovative abilities. In terms of educational approach, Islam emphasizes a balance between spiritual, moral, and intellectual dimensions, while the West places more emphasis on scientific rationality and the development of critical thinking skills. In terms of learning methods, Islamic education uses role models, habituation, advice, and value reflection, while Western education uses experiments, problem-based learning, and evidence-based learning. This research concludes that the integration of these two paradigms can be developed in the form of a holistic contemporary educational approach, namely the integration of the spiritual and ethical values of Islamic education with the strengths of Western scientific educational methodology, resulting in an educational system that balances intellectual, moral, and spiritual development.]]>
