The Role and Challenges of Islamic Education in The Globalization Era

Abstract

Islam obliges its people to be educated. It is hoped that educated people in today's global era will increase, while uneducated people will decrease with today's developments. Islamic education guides its students in their development, both physically and spiritually towards the formation of noble personalities and morals. The objectives of Islamic education according to the Qur'an include (1) explaining the position of students as human beings among God's creatures and their responsibilities in this life; (2) explaining their relationship as social beings and their responsibilities in the order of social life; (3) explaining the relationship between man and nature and his duty to know the wisdom of creation by prospering the universe, (4) explaining his relationship with the Creator as the creator of the universe.
