Description
Summary:This paper explores the educational concept of the 10th-century Islamic scholar Al-Zarnuji and its relevance to the teaching of Islamic Education in Malaysia. This literature analysis aims to determine the applicability of Al-Zarnuji's educational concept for educational reform in the current Islamic education system in Malaysia by examining previous Islamic educational concepts and how they can enhance the current system. The study employed content analysis from various resources related to the ideas of education from Al-Zarnuji. The study found that Al-Zarnuji highlights the moral, intellectual, spiritual, and social aspects of an individual's development in his book "Ta'lim Al-Muta'allim." His method of teaching encourages critical thinking, moral learning, and active student participation. His emphasis on developing moral character, cultivating virtues, and moral behavior is consistent with the National Educational Philosophy and Islamic education goals, which focus on the development of diverse and balanced individuals.
