Islamization of the Curriculum

Abstract

This paper makes two important arguments. It demonstrates how the
curriculum design is important for the mod and social well-being of
individuals as well as societies. Having asserted that, the paper argues
that curriculum design depends fundamentally on a well-defined philosophy
of education. Without a philosophy of education that can give
moral purpose to both individuals as well as societies, it will be difficult
to identify a core element that can anchor the curriculum design.
The paper then proceeds to identify the fundamental elements of an
Islamic education philosophy and from it elicits the core concerns of an
Islamic education curriculum. The paper also discusses several strategies
to integrate revealed knowledge and acquired sciences for Muslim
universities and schools.
