A Study of the Western Educational Philosophies Concerning Islamic Philosophy

Abstract

Islam is a comprehensive code of life besides providing elucidations to all the problems. However, there are different religions and modestly can be labeled under the umbrella of Islamic and Western verdicts. Furthermore, Islamic and Western considerations have their subcategories in the practice of groups. Conversely, in this paper, we described perennialism and essentialism as educational philosophies and then provided a detailed account of Islamic philosophy. This study provides literature-based evidence about the logical notions of both philosophies. However, more focus was on describing Islamic philosophical notions. We also studied the Quranic verses to provide authentic sources. This was a qualitative literature-based study. Furthermore, discourse analysis was followed to find out the differences. Findings and conclusions were drawn from the literature. Different websites were studied for online data connected to our particular area. We explored the Islamic philosophical system as more valuable, authentic, and relaxed in terms of knowledge, values, and social relationships. We concluded that the Islamic philosophical system is a holistic system. We recommended that we try our best to apply Islamic philosophical designs in our educational setup about students ‘teachers’ bonds and affiliation in society.
