Filsafat Pendidikan Islam Dalam Perspektif Ibnu Maskawayh

Abstract

This study examines the Islamic educational thought of Ibn Miskawayh, focusing on the formation of noble character as the core of educational objectives, which aims to achieve true happiness (al-sa‘ādah) through the development of an inner disposition that naturally produces good actions. Ibn Miskawayh’s holistic approach emphasizes the balance between physical, intellectual, and spiritual aspects, integrating both religious and worldly sciences into a curriculum that addresses all dimensions of the human being. Effective education, according to him, requires natural methods that align with the developmental stages of learners, with teachers serving as moral and spiritual guides. This research employs a qualitative method using literature review and descriptive-critical analysis to present a conceptual framework and practical recommendations for the development of modern Islamic education. Furthermore, the study discusses the relevance of classical and modern curricula in addressing contemporary educational challenges, which demand the integration of scientific knowledge and character development to shape a balanced and competent generation in the global context. The findings reinforce the importance of Islamic education rooted in moral and spiritual values while accommodating modern advancements, in order to cultivate insān kāmil individuals who are faithful, morally upright, and globally competitive.
