This study aims to reconstruct an Islamic educational philosophy paradigm by synthesizing the educational thought of Al-Ghazali, Ikhwan al-Shafa, and Ibn Khaldun to develop a conceptual framework relevant to contemporary Islamic education. This study employed a qualitative approach using a conceptual research design based on library research and philosophical analysis of primary sources and relevant scholarly literature. The findings demonstrate that the three thinkers represent distinct yet complementary paradigms emphasizing moral-spiritual formation, epistemic integration, and civilizational orientation. Based on this synthesis, the study proposes an Integrative Islamic Educational Philosophy Paradigm built upon three interconnected pillars: ethical foundation, epistemic integration, and civilizational orientation. This paradigm contributes to the development of Islamic educational philosophy by offering a conceptual model that integrates ethical, intellectual, and social dimensions as a foundation for advancing both the theory and practice of twenty-first-century Islamic education.
Abstrak
Penelitian ini bertujuan merekonstruksi paradigma filsafat pendidikan Islam melalui sintesis pemikiran Al-Ghazali, Ikhwan al-Shafa, dan Ibn Khaldun guna membangun kerangka konseptual yang relevan bagi pendidikan Islam kontemporer. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain penelitian konseptual (conceptual research) melalui kajian kepustakaan dan analisis filosofis terhadap sumber primer serta literatur akademik yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketiga pemikir tersebut merepresentasikan paradigma yang berbeda namun saling melengkapi, yaitu pembentukan moral-spiritual, integrasi epistemologi, dan orientasi peradaban. Berdasarkan sintesis tersebut, penelitian ini mengusulkan Paradigma Integratif Filsafat Pendidikan Islam yang dibangun atas tiga pilar, yaitu ethical foundation, epistemic integration, dan civilizational orientation. Paradigma ini berkontribusi dalam memperluas kajian filsafat pendidikan Islam dengan menawarkan model konseptual yang mengintegrasikan dimensi etik, intelektual, dan sosial sebagai landasan pengembangan teori maupun praktik pendidikan Islam abad ke-21.
