THE FUNDAMENTAL BASE OF EDUCATION IN ISLAM Islam has, from its beginnings, placed a high premium on education and has experienced a long and rich intellectual tradition. Knowledge or 'ilm occupies a significant position within Islam, as evidenced by the more than 800 references to it in Islam's most revered book, the Holy Qur’an. The importance of education is repeatedly emphasized in Qur’an with frequent injunctions, such as in surah Al Mujadilah: verse 11 that says "O you who believe, when you are told to you, "Walk in majlis", then spread out, Allah will give space to you. And when it is said: "Stand you up," stand up, surely Allah will exalt the believers among you and those who are given the knowledge of some degree. And Allah knows what you do. Another surah is in Surah Thaa haa verse: 114 that says “So Exalted is Allah, the True King, and do not rush to recite the Qur'an before it is perfected in revealing to you, and say: "O my Lord, add to me knowledge." Such verses provide a powerful stimulus for us as Moslem to strive for education and learning. Islamic education is uniquely different from other types of educational theory and practice largely because of the all-encompassing influence of Al Qur’an. It serves as a comprehensive blueprint for both the individual and society and as the primary source of knowledge. The advent of Al Qur’an in the seventh century was quite revolutionary for the predominantly illiterate Arabian society. Arab society had experienced a rich oral tradition, but Al Qur’an was considered the words come from Allah through Angle Jibril passed down to the Prophet Muhammad Saw and needed to be organically interacted with by means of reading and reciting its words. Hence, reading and writing for the purpose of accessing the full blessings of AL Qur’an was an aspiration for most Moslems. Therefore, education in Islam is certainly derived its origins from a symbiotic relationship with religious instruction. picture by gainislam.com Glossaries: High premium (Noun): kedudukan yang tinggi dan mulia Experienced (verb past tense): mengalami Significant (adjective): berarti/ penting Repeatedly (adverb): berulang kali Emphasized (verb passive): ditekankan Exalt (verb): meninggikan/ menaikkan kedudukan/ derajatnya Degree (noun) : derajat All-encompassing (adjective): yang mencakup semua aspek/ pengaruh Advent (noun): kedatangan/ tibanya Blueprint (noun): rencana/ perencanaan Revolutionary (adjective): politis Predominantly (adverb): mayoritas/ sebagian besar Aspiration (noun): tujuan/ cita-cita Task1 Comprehension questions 1.

Al-Irsyad Mosque, which is located in Bandung, is one of the unique mosques in Indonesia. First, the building was in the form of a cube. The shape resembles the Kaaba in Mecca. Since it looks like a cube, the mosque does not have a dome. The second thing that made this mosque unique was the arrangement of the bricks. Not all parts of the wall are covered with bricks. This part forms the two calligraphy words of Shahadah. These parts also have a function as ventilation. Then, this mosque does not have pillars like most other mosques. So, the support of the mosque is in the form of four walls. They function as a barrier to the mosque and as building support. Finally, the mihrab is designed openly, and in front of it, there is a big ball with the name of Allah. The purpose is that worshipers can see and always remember the name of Allah. Because of its uniqueness, the mosque becomes one of the popular mosques in the world. Task 1 Find a topic for a descriptive paragraph and explore it with specific details.
