Abstract

The transformation of Islamic educational methods through the perspective of philosophical thought that developed from classical to modern times by highlighting the contributions of figures such as Al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, and Al-Ghazali, this article identifies a significant change in educational approaches that are shifting from traditional methods that focus on memorization to a more holistic and critical approach. Al-Farabi emphasized the importance of character building and morality in education, while Ibn Sina introduced a scientific method that integrates observation and experimentation. Al-Ghazali, on the other hand, underlined the need for integration between science and spirituality. Through a thematic and interpretive analysis of these philosophical works, this article shows that the contribution of philosophical thought not only enriches the Islamic educational curriculum, but also creates a more adaptive and relevant educational system in an ever-evolving social and cultural context. These findings emphasize the importance of a balanced educational approach between intellectual and moral aspects in shaping individuals who are able to contribute positively to society.
