Abstract

The Islamic education has two dimensions: to acquire intellectual knowledge (through the application of logic and reasoning) and develop spiritual knowledge (gained from divine revelation and spiritual experiences). God is the centre and focus of education; hence to be educated a Muslim means to be devoted to attaining the pleasure of God. This should result in pious actions that would enable the Muslim to draw closer to God. The aim of education is the creation of the good and righteous man who worships Allah in the true sense of the term, builds up the structure of his earthly life according to the Syaria and employs it to subserve his faith. The purpose of spiritual education is expected to find, nurture and develop individual relationshipsvertical harmonious; until (wushūl) to God with fidelity to Him alone, implementing Islamic morality exemplified by the Prophet based on the ideals of the Qur’an.
