FILSAFAT PENDIDIKAN ISLAM: DARI AKAR SEJARAH HINGGA DIMENSI FILOSOFIS

Abstract

This article examines the philosophy of Islamic education through an integrative historical and philosophical  approach.  The  main  contribution  of  this  paper  lies  in  its  effort  to  construct  a framework of thought that connects the educational practices of early Islam with their philosophical foundations. Islamic education is understood as a system rooted in three main pillars: ontology, epistemology,  and  axiology.  Ontologically,  Islamic  education  is inseparable  from the  nature of humanity and divine reality, as Allah as al-‘Alīm (the All-Knowing) is the source of knowledge that distinguishes  Islamic  education  from  secular  education  systems.  Epistemologically,  Islamic education recognizes the bayani (textual), burhani (rational), and irfani (intuitive) approaches, so that the process of acquiring knowledge does not rely solely on rational-empirical dimensions but also  on  revelation  and  intuition.  Axiologically,  Islamic  education  is  directed  toward  forming righteous individuals who understand divine values and practice them in life. Thus, the spiritual, theoretical, and practical values in Islamic education are integrated to lead humanity toward the highest reality, which is God. This article enriches the study of contemporary Islamic educational philosophy through a systematic, historical, and philosophical approach.
