Muslim Scholars’ Views on Education
Education within Islamic civilization has long been shaped by scholarly reflection on knowledge, ethics, and social responsibility. Muslim Scholars’ Views on Education examines classical perspectives on teaching, learning, and intellectual development within the broader Islamic intellectual tradition.
About the Book
Muslim Scholars’ Views on Education surveys educational philosophies articulated by prominent Muslim thinkers across different historical periods. The book analyzes how scholars defined knowledge as both spiritual refinement and intellectual cultivation. It explores the teacher-student relationship, emphasizing mentorship, discipline, sincerity, and moral example. Discussions include classification of sciences, curriculum organization, and integration of religious and rational disciplines. The text highlights that education was historically viewed as a moral trust rather than a purely professional pursuit. By examining primary writings and educational practices, the book demonstrates how scholars sought balance between memorization, reasoning, and character formation. Contemporary implications are also discussed, including how classical principles may inform modern reform efforts. The analysis reveals that Islamic educational thought remains relevant in addressing fragmentation and ethical decline in contemporary systems.
