Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas’s “The Concept of Education in Islam: A Framework for an Islamic Philosophy of Education” (1980) defines Islamic education as the, “recognition and acknowledgement of the proper places of things in the order of creation,” aimed at producing a “good man” rather than just a “good citizen”. It distinguishes Islamic education (ta’dib) from mere instruction or training, emphasizing that true knowledge is a gift from God that leads to wisdom and moral action.
