| description | This study discusses Mohammad Natsir’s concept of integrated
education from the Qur’anic perspective. Natsir was concerned with the need
to develop the Muslim ummah in Indonesia through educational approaches.
He disagreed with the system of Islamic education as represented within
Islamic boarding schools known as pesantren, arguing that graduates from
such institutions were not equipped with worldly knowledge to maintain their
survival and contribute to the development of the ummah in the real world. He
equally criticized graduates of Western education for being highly motivated
by material interests. The purpose of education, according to Natsir, cannot
be separated from the mission of life in this world: that is to promote justice
and to eradicate evil practices in the community. Natsir disagreed with the
division of knowledge into Eastern and the Western, asserting that both realms
of knowledge belong to God. The study attempts to discuss the relevance of
his educational thought today as a contribution to the concept of Islamization
of knowledge. |
