Abstract

This study aims to analyze the educational thought of the Ikhwan As-Shafa group and its implementation in the design of the Islamic History curriculum in Modern Islamic Boarding Schools. Ikhwan As-Shafa is known for its “Rational-Religious” approach that integrates philosophy and sharia. Using a library research method, this study finds that: (1) The design of the objectives of the Islamic History curriculum in Modern Islamic Boarding Schools is in line with the concept of tahdzib al-nafs (purification of the soul) of Ikhwan As-Shafa; (2) The curriculum material includes a balance between historical facts and philosophical values; (3) The learning experience emphasizes the active involvement of the five senses through varied methods. In conclusion, the thought of Ikhwan As-Shafa provides a strong theoretical foundation for developing a holistic Islamic history curriculum in the modern era.
