URGENSI PENDIDIKAN DALAM PERSPEKTIF ISLAM

Abstract

Thecondition of ignorance that dominated the Arab society in the past
was tried to be changed by Islam. The Islamic education is often
called tarbiyah andta’lim al-tarbiyah which means education that
includes aspects of science and morality. Therefore, Islamic education
is to cultivate humans’ minds andtoregulate humans’ characters
andattitudesbased on the Islamic teachings. Meanwhile al-ta’lim in
Islamic education means teaching, which only gives knowledge to the
students. According to Islamic teachings, humans have two potentials
(evil and piety). The teachings of Islam acknowledge the differences of
people’s talents but the differences do not mean that they cannot be
formed at all. In order to achieve the goals well, education needs to be
adapted with the development of thestudents.
