Abstract

This study examines the fundamental aspects of Islamic education, with a focus on the principles of acquiring knowledge and fostering ethical and moral development in humans. The Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) emphasize the importance of educated individuals in Islam, urging Muslims to seek knowledge and approach the process of learning with a reverent respect for Allah. The Islamic educational system goes beyond academic content, prioritizing the development of a person's mindset and conduct to align with Islamic principles. This study utilizes qualitative approaches to examine scholarly literature to comprehend the fundamental tenets of Islamic education. The goal is to examine the Islamic principles of education, which cover various subjects, and aim to foster those who possess a deep comprehension of the religion and commitment to Islamic ethical and moral values while giving priority to the comprehensive development of a person's cognitive and physical well-being.
