REVITALIZING THE MAIN STREAM TRANSFORMATIVE ISLAMIC EDUCATION "MUHAMMAD JAWWAD RIDLA" (SOCIOLOGICAL-PHILOSOPHICAL) PERSPECTIVE: EFFORTS TO OVERCOME CRITICAL ISSUES IN THE RENEWAL OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION

Abstract

The world of Islamic education is currently enlivened by new ideologies such as pluralism and postmodernism which offer educational doctrines as a therapy for the crisis that has hit the world of Islamic education. On the other hand, the presence of these ideologies enriches the repertoire of educational thought, but on the other hand it can also confuse educational planners and practitioners. This study aims to revitalize the three main streams of Islamic education from the perspective of Muhammad Jawwad Rida (sociological-philosophical) which can be used as an effort to address critical issues in the renewal of Islamic education today. This study uses the library study method where the material for data analysis uses books and articles that are relevant to this research. The results of this study indicate that Islamic education is currently gradually starting to show progress as evidenced by renewal in terms of methods, theories, curricula, and so on. However, in the process of renewal, Islamic education still has quite complete problems, such as due to the narrow understanding of Islamic science, which only focuses on aspects of ukhrawi life which are separate from worldly life, pays little attention to its involvement in the process of social change. Critical siu in the world of Islamic education can be overcome by revitalizing efforts, as well as understanding the three main streams of Islamic education from the perspective of Muhammad Jawwad Rida which have varying characteristics according to the scientific level of each character.
