<![CDATA[Ibn Khaldun's educational thought provides an important Islamic perspective on knowledge, human development, teaching, and the role of educators. This study aims to analyze his educational thought and examine its conceptual relevance to contemporary Islamic education in Indonesia. The study employed a qualitative approach using content analysis of Al-Muqaddimah and relevant scholarly literature. Data were analyzed through identification, categorization, interpretation, and synthesis. The findings show that Ibn Khaldun viewed education as an integrative process that connects religious and rational knowledge, intellectual and practical development, and spiritual and social objectives. His concept of malakah emphasizes learning through gradual development, practice, and experience, while his criticism of coercive teaching highlights the importance of learners' capacities and psychological development.

The study concludes that Ibn Khaldun's educational thought remains a valuable conceptual resource for addressing contemporary educational needs.]]>
