Lesson 01

Topic: 01 – Introduction:

Ideology is the common understanding and believes that people in a group have accepted by which to live their lives. Here Islamic ideology will be discussed in this course below because we are Pakistani and many people living here are Muslims.

“A continuous process that nurtures the natural potentials of human beings from the intellectual, behavioural, spiritual and physical aspects in an integrated and balanced manner so as to produce righteous human beings who will bring goodness to this world and hereafter.”

Islamic Philosophers in this perspective:

According to the scholar ‘Abd Halim Hj. Mat Diah’, 1989:

“Islamic education is a process for all under the purposeful guidance of educators who will shape Muslims based on the teachings of Islam.”

According to the scholar ‘Abdul Halim El-Muhammady, 1993’:

“The purpose of education is to produce the righteous individuals who are willing to take on the responsibility of the caliphs (successors of Prophet Muhammad) entrusted by Allah to lead us to happiness in this world and in the next.”

Topic: 02 - Aims of educating people:

To inculcate a noble character To educate the soul to be refined and perfect To teach students to do good, respectful and noble deeds To train students to be courteous and be good human beings To inculcate cleanliness, purity and sincerity as well as noble practices in students.

Topic: 03 - Areas of Islamic Education: · 1. Character · Building:

Character building is the teaching of values and morals. How to lead a good life, treat yourself and others? Moral education is critical because it helps you to become a better individual, citizen and a better person in the long run. 2. Physical Education: We would like to have healthy and active people who are constructive contributors to the society. People who are slow, unhealthy and not well are not good contributors to the society. So, if we want individuals to live a healthy life, they must be physically fit. This encompasses sports, games, athletics and any other physical activity that people are involved in. What this all teaches them is sharing and cooperation because many sports are played in teams. Some sports are played as individuals events but most of them are not and so there is a lot of good learning that happens here.

3. Mental Education: It is the development of the mind and is the basis of education. How does an individual develop his capacity to think and use his brain? It happens when in education we make the individual be embedded in creative, natural and analytical thinking and thinking outside the box through activities that enable the individuals to solve problems, come to decisions, give their opinions and recommendations, share their ideas etc. only when we force students to think for themselves then this mental education proves to be meaningful and fruitful.
4. Life Education: Education is not a morning to afternoon activity, it happens outside the school and classroom also. It happens both formally and informally. Learning through other informal experiences such as gatherings and markets is also essential for young people. If you only limit education to what happens in a classroom, people will never learn as much because a classroom in its true sense is an artificial setting.
5. Social Education: We cannot live on our own alone. We will not be able to survive because we will not be able to do all everything for us, we need other people to help us in our life and so that social interaction is important. Social education teaches us cooperation, sharing, tolerance, listening, not only thinking about you but others as well. With the virtual world becoming more and more of a reality today and the world shrinking to a global village scenario, it is more important for the individuals today to be socially adapt at how to interact with individuals in your own cultural setting and other cultural settings.
6. Sex Education: This education is not in the sense of love and romance, this is the education of how you will deal with the individual of opposite gender. When you are with friends who are all girls and all boys, you behave differently. But when you are in mixed gathering, you behave differently. Sex education teaches you how to behave in such gatherings with the individual of opposite gender.
7. Muslim Faith Education: This really is religious education. We need people to understand what their religion helps them learn, understand and do. So in the Islamic perspective, it involves the teaching of Quran, Hadiths, dealing of the Caliphs and other Muslims, philosophers and all that should be taught to young people.
