Islamic System of Education
Islamic System of Education.
The Islamic system of education has a rich history and is deeply rooted in the Islamic
faith. It is based on the teachings of the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be
upon him), and emphasizes the acquisition of knowledge and understanding as a means
of getting closer to God.

Islamic education is not limited to religious studies, but also includes a wide range of
subjects, including science, mathematics, history, and literature. The goal of Islamic
education is to produce well-rounded individuals who are not only knowledgeable in
their fields of study, but also possess strong moral values and a deep sense of
spirituality.

The traditional Islamic education system begins with the memorization of the Quran,
which is considered to be the foundation of Islamic knowledge. Students then move on
to the study of Islamic law, theology, and philosophy, as well as the Arabic language,
which is the language of the Quran.

Islamic education is also characterized by a strong emphasis on the relationship


between teacher and student. Teachers are highly respected and are seen as mentors
and guides, rather than just instructors. Students are expected to show respect and
obedience to their teachers, and the relationship between the two is often lifelong.

Islamic education has undergone many changes over the centuries, and today there are
many Islamic schools and universities around the world that offer a wide range of
courses and programs. Some of these institutions are focused solely on Islamic studies,
while others offer a more secular education with an emphasis on Islamic values and
teachings.

Overall, the Islamic system of education is centered around the acquisition of


knowledge and understanding as a means of deepening one's faith and developing a
strong moral character. It is a holistic approach to education that seeks to create well-
rounded individuals who are not only knowledgeable in their fields of study, but also
possess a deep sense of spirituality and morality.

Concept of Knowledge.
The concept of knowledge is a complex and multi-dimensional idea that has been
studied and debated by philosophers, scientists, and scholars for centuries. At its most
basic level, knowledge can be defined as the understanding, awareness, or familiarity
gained through experience, education, or research.

There are many different types of knowledge, including propositional knowledge


(knowledge that is expressed in statements or propositions), procedural knowledge
(knowledge of how to do something), and personal knowledge (knowledge gained
through personal experience). Knowledge can also be classified into explicit knowledge
(knowledge that can be easily articulated and transferred) and tacit knowledge
(knowledge that is difficult to articulate and transfer).

One of the key debates in the philosophy of knowledge is the distinction between
knowledge and belief. While beliefs are personal convictions or opinions, knowledge is
often seen as a more objective and justified form of belief. According to many
philosophers, knowledge requires both true belief and justification or evidence.

Another important concept in the philosophy of knowledge is the idea of epistemology,


which is the study of knowledge itself. Epistemologists study questions such as how
knowledge is acquired, how it can be justified or validated, and how it can be
communicated or shared.

In many cultures and traditions, knowledge is highly valued and respected. In Islamic
tradition, for example, knowledge is seen as an important means of getting closer to
God, and is therefore highly valued and sought after. Similarly, in many indigenous
cultures, knowledge is passed down through generations and is deeply tied to the
community and its history.

Overall, the concept of knowledge is a complex and multifaceted idea that has been
studied and debated by scholars and philosophers for centuries. It is a fundamental part
of human experience and is highly valued in many cultures and traditions around the
world.

Islamic Concept of Knowledge.


In the Islamic tradition, knowledge is highly valued and is seen as a means of getting
closer to God. The Quran, which is the central religious text of Islam, emphasizes the
importance of seeking knowledge and understanding as a means of deepening one's
faith and developing a strong moral character.

In Islam, there are two main sources of knowledge: the Quran and the Sunnah (the
sayings, actions, and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad). The Quran is considered to
be the word of God, and is seen as the ultimate source of knowledge and guidance. The
Sunnah, on the other hand, provides guidance on how to interpret and apply the
teachings of the Quran in daily life.

Islamic scholars have developed a rich tradition of knowledge and learning, which
includes fields such as theology, philosophy, law, and science. The pursuit of knowledge
is seen as a lifelong endeavor, and Islamic scholars have made significant contributions
to various fields of study throughout history.

One of the key principles of Islamic knowledge is that it is seen as a means of serving
others and benefiting society as a whole. Islamic scholars are expected to use their
knowledge to help others, and to work towards the betterment of society as a whole.
This is reflected in the many charitable and educational institutions that have been
established throughout the Islamic world, which provide education and assistance to
those in need.

Another important principle of Islamic knowledge is that it should be grounded in


humility and a deep sense of reverence for God. Islamic scholars are expected to
approach their studies with a sense of awe and respect for the vastness and complexity
of the universe, and to recognize the limitations of human knowledge.

Overall, the Islamic concept of knowledge emphasizes the importance of seeking


knowledge and understanding as a means of deepening one's faith and serving others.
It is a rich and multifaceted tradition that has made significant contributions to various
fields of study throughout history.

experience, such as mathematical and logical truths, while a posteriori knowledge is
knowledge that is based on experience, such as empirical observations and scientific
discoveries.

scheme has its own advantages and limitations depending on the context and purpose
of the classification.

Salient Features of Islamic Concept of Knowledge.

1. Integration of spiritual and secular knowledge: In Islamic tradition, there is no separation


between the sacred and the profane, and knowledge is seen as a means of getting
closer to God. Thus, Islamic knowledge integrates both spiritual and secular knowledge,
and seeks to address both the spiritual and material needs of human beings.

social justice and human welfare.
5. Recognition of the limitations of human knowledge: Islamic scholars recognize the
limitations of human knowledge, and approach their studies with a sense of humility
and reverence for God. Islamic knowledge is seen as a means of gaining a deeper
understanding of the universe and one's place in it, rather than as a means of attaining

Definition of Education.
Education can be defined as a process of acquiring knowledge, skills, values, and
attitudes through various forms of learning, such as teaching, training, research, or self-
study. It is a lifelong process that begins from birth and continues throughout an
individual's life. Education is not limited to formal schooling or academic institutions; it
can also be acquired through various other means, such as life experiences, practical
skills, and interactions with others.

Education can be divided into different categories, such as formal, non-formal, and
informal education. Formal education refers to the structured learning that takes place
in schools, colleges, and universities. Non-formal education refers to the learning that
takes place outside the traditional classroom setting, such as vocational training,
apprenticeships, and adult education programs. Informal education refers to the
learning that takes place through daily life experiences, such as learning a new skill or
hobby, observing others, or interacting with friends and family.

Education is not only about acquiring knowledge or skills; it also involves the
development of an individual's character, values, and attitudes. Education plays a crucial

understanding of various subjects, such as mathematics, science, language, history, and
social sciences. It often takes place in a structured setting, such as a school, college, or
university, and is typically delivered by teachers or instructors. Education is not limited
to formal schooling, however, and can also be acquired through informal or non-formal
learning experiences, such as reading, research, or self-study.

Training, on the other hand, refers to the process of acquiring specific skills or
competencies that are necessary for a particular profession, job, or task. It is often more
focused and practical than education and is designed to prepare individuals for specific
roles or responsibilities. Training can take place in a variety of settings, including the
workplace, vocational schools, and professional development programs.

Both education and training are important for personal and professional development.
Education provides individuals with a broad understanding of various subjects, while
training equips them with the specific skills and competencies needed to perform
particular tasks or jobs. Ultimately, a combination of both education and training can
lead to well-rounded individuals who are equipped with the knowledge, skills, values,
and attitudes necessary for success in their personal and professional lives.

In terms of theories of learning, Islam emphasizes the importance of both spiritual and
intellectual development. The process of acquiring knowledge is seen as a lifelong
journey, and it is believed that learning should be approached with humility and a desire
to seek knowledge for the sake of Allah.

Deen) and worldly knowledge (Ilm al-Dunya). Both types of knowledge are considered
important, and it is believed that individuals should seek to acquire knowledge in
various fields to benefit themselves and society.

Islam also emphasizes the importance of experiential learning, where individuals are
encouraged to learn through observation, reflection, and personal experience. This
approach to learning is reflected in the Hadith, where Prophet Muhammad (peace be
upon him) encourages his followers to "seek knowledge even if it be in China."

of learning that housed a vast library of books and manuscripts, and was staffed by
scholars who translated and preserved works from different cultures and traditions. This
institution became a model for later educational institutions and had a lasting impact on
the development of education and scholarship in the Islamic world.

Islamic Education Conferences Efforts to Islamized Curriculum in Pakistan.


Islamic education conferences in Pakistan have been an important forum for discussions
and efforts to Islamize the curriculum in the country. These conferences have brought
together educators, scholars, policymakers, and religious leaders to discuss issues
related to Islamic education and to promote the integration of Islamic values, principles,
and teachings into the education system.

One of the most significant Islamic education conferences in Pakistan was the
International Islamic Education Conference, which was held in Karachi in 1980. The
conference was attended by scholars and educators from around the world, and it
focused on issues related to the development of Islamic education in Pakistan and other
Muslim countries. The conference emphasized the need to Islamize the curriculum in
order to promote Islamic values, ethics, and worldview among students.

Since then, there have been several other conferences and initiatives aimed at Islamizing
the curriculum in Pakistan. In 2002, the government of Pakistan established the National
Curriculum Revision Committee (NCRC) to revise the curriculum and introduce Islamic
values and teachings into the education system. The NCRC has been working on

MUSLIM MODEL DEGREE COLLEGE MARDAN ROAD CHARSADDA


EMAIL: [email protected] Phone No: 03139063621
30

revising the curriculum for different levels of education, from primary to secondary and
higher education.

In addition to government initiatives, there have been efforts by Islamic scholars and
organizations to promote Islamic education and Islamize the curriculum in Pakistan. The
Jamaat-e-Islami party, for example, has been advocating for the integration of Islamic
values and teachings into the curriculum and has been running its own schools that
follow an Islamic curriculum.

However, the efforts to Islamize the curriculum in Pakistan have also been controversial
and have faced criticism from some quarters. Critics have argued that the focus on
Islamic education can lead to the neglect of other important subjects and skills, such as
science, technology, and critical thinking. There have also been concerns about the
politicization of the education system and the use of education to promote a particular
ideology or religious agenda.

In summary, Islamic education conferences and initiatives have played an important role
in promoting the Islamization of the curriculum in Pakistan. While there have been
efforts to integrate Islamic values and teachings into the education system, these efforts
have also faced criticism and controversy. The challenge for policymakers and educators
is to strike a balance between promoting Islamic education and values and ensuring that
students receive a well-rounded and balanced education that prepares them for the
challenges of the modern world.
