Islamic education is not only oriented toward the transfer of knowledge but also aims to shape individuals who are faithful, possess noble character, and maintain a balance between intellectual, spiritual, and moral aspects. However, the implementation of Islamic education still faces challenges in determining teaching methodologies that align with the essence and objectives of Islamic education. This study aims to examine the philosophy of Islamic education regarding the nature of Islamic educational methodology, including its philosophical foundations, principles of application, and relevance to contemporary learning processes. This study employs a qualitative approach using content analysis through a review of relevant written sources, such as the Qur’an, hadith, literature on the philosophy of Islamic education, and related scientific research findings. The data were analyzed descriptively and analytically to identify the concepts, principles, and values underpinning the methodology of Islamic education. The results indicate that Islamic educational methodology is a systematic approach grounded in the values of tawhid, oriented toward character development, and integrating cognitive, affective, and spiritual dimensions into the educational process. Its implementation must take into account learning objectives, student characteristics, the exemplary role of educators, and contemporary developments without neglecting the principles of Islamic teachings. This study highlights the importance of developing a holistic, contextual, and human centered methodology of Islamic education.
