Quran-Based Education: Integration of Knowledge and Morals Through the Concept of Ta’dib and Maqasid

The current education system is often confronted with an ethical crisis resulting from the separation of knowledge from spiritual and moral values. This paper aims to explore how Qur’an-based education can integrate science and ethics through two fundamental concepts: the concept of Ta’dib as articulated by Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas and the concept of Maqasid al-Qur’an as formulated by Prof. Dr. H. Mahyuddin Barni, M.Ag. Using a qualitative literature study, this research analyzes the relationship between these two concepts within the framework of contemporary Islamic education. The findings reveal that Ta’dib provides a practical approach by emphasizing the cultivation of manners, ethics, and character, while Maqasid al-Qur’an offers a philosophical foundation in determining the ultimate goals of education. The integration of these approaches is expected to produce learners who are not only intellectually competent but also morally grounded, socially responsible, and committed to contributing to the development of a civilized society.
