ALIVE Program, Islamic Education, National Public Holidays, PhilippinesAbstract
Mainstreaming the issue of Islamic education in the Philippines will be a significant avenue for providing the overall educational requirements for every Filipino Muslim. A qualitative method is applied in this study, which mainly involves analyzing contents. The study’s findings show that Islamic education plays a vital role in peace and development in the Muslim-Christian relationship. The study finds out that due to the achievement of peace and development for the country, the government implements the Arabic Language and Islamic Values Program (ALIVE) that leads to National Public Holidays, provides equal education, provides an opportunity for Muslim scholars, and gives some advantage to Muslim society in the Philippines. Focusing on the issue of Islamic education in the country will create a garden of peace that may lead to respect and harmony.
