This research explores the historical emergence of the Khawarij and Murji’ah sects within early Islamic history, aiming to understand their origins, doctrinal differences, and impacts on Islamic thought. The study addresses the primary research question: how did the Khawarij and Murji’ah sects arise, and what were the key theological and political factors that influenced their development? Utilizing a historical-analytical method, this research examines primary sources, including early Islamic texts and historical records, as well as secondary scholarly analyses. The findings reveal that the Khawarij emerged as a radical faction following the Battle of Siffin, emphasizing strict piety and rejecting any form of sin among leaders, whereas the Murji’ah advocated a more lenient stance, deferring judgment of sinners to God. The study concludes that the Khawarij and Murji’ah significantly shaped early Islamic discourse on faith, leadership, and community, leaving a lasting legacy on Islamic jurisprudence and theology. This research highlights the complex interplay of theology and politics in the formation of early Islamic sects, providing deeper insights into the dynamics of religious movements.

The focus of the study is on three things, namely what strategies are used by teachers in instilling religious attitudes in class VII at Gema Buwana Private Middle School, what PAI teachers' strategies are in instilling religious attitudes in class VII at Gema Buwana Private Middle School, and the reasons why PAI teacher strategies are needed in instilling a religious attitude in class VII of Gema Buwana Private Middle School. The research method used is qualitative based on descriptive studies. The data collection techniques used were observation, interviews and documentation studies. The data obtained was then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman technique, namely data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results explain that teachers are called PAI teachers because their main task lies in the ability to teach how the Islamic religion can be understood and implemented by students appropriately and proportionally. The process of knowing, understanding and applying is not as easy as turning the palm of your hand. It needs a mature, long, continuous or systematic process. Therefore, there needs to be a conscious process to develop all human potential so that Islam can function as a solution to solve the problems of people's lives.

Humans are God's creation. who has a strategic role as a servant and at the same time caliph on earth. Humans are born in a state of purity, in the sense of fitrah. In an authentic hadith narrated by Bukhari and Muslim, it is stated that every child is born in a state of fitrah. It was his parents who allowed him to become a Jew, Christian, or Magian. This hadith implies that from birth, humans are equipped with various potentials called fitrah. Fitrah is an Arabic term which means a holy or good character, specially created by Allah swt. for humans as the main potential in the review of Islamic educational philosophy.

The notions of philosophy, science and philosophy of science will be clarified through this study. This work is a qualitative research that aims to create meaning through selected literature. Dimensions Philosophy comes from everything that exists and might exist. A thorough understanding of the philosophy of science requires an etymological and terminological understanding of philosophy and science itself. Derived from the Arabic word “alima” which means knowledge, science is terminologically precise and structured knowledge. Philosophy has its etymology in the Greek term philoshopia, which means love of knowledge. Philosophers' own definitions give many meanings to philosophical terms. Philosophy was defined by Aristotle as knowledge that incorporates truth and covers the fields of metaphysics, logic, rhetoric, ethics, and aesthetics. Thus, one can read philosophy of science as a philosophy that contains exact and structured truths about knowing. The tangible result of scientific philosophy is science. Its scope includes the axiological foundation, which is the virtue of science, the epistemological foundation, which is how knowledge is obtained, and the ontological foundation, which is what science really means.
