Some crucial questions have been raised in recent decades about proper Islamic education: its aim, underlying philosophy and assumptions, and value system. The most profound question is how to integrate the dualistic and contradictory systems of education to solve the problem of dualism or bifurcation faced by the Ummah in the present day. Some Muslim scholars suggest that the pre-requisites of being excellent in this world and the hereafter go back to the Quran and the Sunnah. Unfortunately, the views of Islamic scholars on Islamic education have been neglected due to the dominance of western elements and modern ideas. Therefore, there is a great need for us to examine the previous Muslim philosophers’ views and contributions. To discuss the Muslim philosopher’s view of education, Ibn Sina’s concepts and ideas concerning education derived from some philosophical and epistemological domains have been analyzed. Extensive documentary analysis was made for this purpose, while previous literature by Ibnu Sina was referred to. A ‘biographical’ work was done, which refers to a work that draws on whatever materials are available to Ibnu Sina to represent an account of his life and achievements. Narrative analysis is used to elicit results, and a comparative analysis of this philosopher with Western thinkers such as Aristotle and John Dewey also ensues. It is hoped that this will explain Ibn Sina’s genuineness in developing knowledge in accordance with the Quran and Sunnah and his contribution to the contemporary educational system.
