slam is the perfect religion of the
previously revealed religions. As a perfect religion of course the content and
all the content that exist in Islam is very complete and there is no doubt in
it. In order to run Islam is not arbitrary then Allah Subhanahu wata'ala sent one of his servants the prophet Muhammad sallallaahu alaihi wasallam as akhlakul karimah. Then Allah also gives a grip to the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu alaihi wasallam as a
benchmark in the conduct and activity. The grip here is the Quran. The Quran is
the perfect book of books that God had sent down before the Torah, Zabur and
Gospel.
A.
Islamic
education
Islamic
education is the knowledge of Islam systematically arranged according to certain
methods. Islamic education is an effective way of providing guidance and
understanding to humans about how Islam really is, how Islam governs human
gestures in living and interacting with society.
Islamic
education is a process of guidance both physically and spiritually based on the
teachings of Islam toward the formation of Muslim personality.
Along
with the development of the era, Islamic education should now be more
self-improvement in order to produce a new generation that has spiritual
sturdiness, nobleness of morality, professional maturity and breadth of
knowledge, in addition to also prepare themselves to meet the standards of
employment needs.
Islamic
education science is an applied science, that is applied from science or other
disciplines especially philosophy, psychology, sociology and other humanistic
sciences. As an applied science, the development of educational theory comes
from philosophical, theoretical, empirical research in educational practice.
To
develop the science of Islamic education required a philosophy-based basis as a
basis in preparing a paradigm for the development of Islamic education.
Philosophy that will be the development of the philosophy should be based on
Islam.
1.
The
purpose of Islamic education
Philosophically,
education aims to develop human potential to the maximum. The potential given
by God will not develop by itself without adequate educational support. So the
orientation of education not only enter the physiological area, but also must
penetrate the spiritual, psychological and ethical (moral). Purpose can be
interpreted something that aspired in the future and want to be realized with
various power and effort. The purpose of Islamic education is commonly seen
from two kinds of perspectives, namely the perspective of human (personal) and
the perspective of society (social beings). The ideal human perspective is
depicted as perfect human (Insan Kamil), qualified human, superior human,
pious man and so on. Whereas in the perspective of human being as a social being
the purpose of education is formulated in the form of ideal society image such
as: citizen, civil society, main society, and so on.
The
main goal in Islamic education is for people to have a clear, whole and
comprehensive picture of Islam. After knowing the purpose, then the knowledge
has been obtained that can make a person that changes both in terms of
appearance, attitude, behavior and charity so as to produce good morality. Morals
is necessary and should be trained through reading practice and reviewing the
Quran, evening prayers, fasting sunnah,
relating to family and society. The more often he exercises, the more his
charity and the easier he performs the virtue. In addition, exercise will
deliver habits that eventually become a daily lifestyle.
From
the opinions of various characters. So we can say that the goal of Islamic
education is to form a healthy human body and spiritual and moral high, to
achieve the happiness of the world and the hereafter, both as individual beings
and as members of society.
From
the Islamic educational objectives described above, in order for Islamic
education to be implemented more effectively and maximally it is necessary to
use integrated approaches, such as approach through normative philosophy,
approach through historical analysis, and approach through scientific analysis
of the reality of life Actual. The purpose of Islamic education is the
continuation of a large mission that contained in Al-Quran and Hadith
Rasulullah shallallahu alaihi wasallam
2.
Islamic
education as media.
Along
with the development of the times and the influence of foreign education and
foreign cultures, it is very impact on moral and public behavior, especially
for the Muslim community itself. At present the teachings of Islam have begun
to fade and away from society, it is due to lack of religious guidance obtained
by community groups. All they can afford is public education that is not based
on the Quran and Hadith, by which many people are more familiar with public
education than to understand how education is characterized by Islam itself.
Therefore,
for the understanding of religion which is taught by Al-Quran and Hadith until
in the midst of society, then this is where the importance of education that is
characterized by Islam as media and connector of the teachings of Al-Quran and
the real Hadith. But there are things that need to be considered in
understanding the Islamic education itself, namely:
That
although there are Islamic words in Islamic education, but the science of
Islamic education is not Al-Quran or equivalent to Al-Quran. Whatever the case,
the science of Islamic education is as a result of ijtihad that does not escape the error. Nevertheless, the science
of Islamic education is neither liberal nor value-free. The science of Islamic
education is the result of ijtihad
that is guided by the teachings of Islam that comes from the Qur'an and Sunnah. Such guidance, among others,
seen in the existence of the values of the teachings of Al-Quran as mentioned
above which became the principle of developing the science of Islamic
education, and also become his character.
From
the description above, it can be said that Islamic education is the right media
in realizing the teachings of Islam in accordance with Al-Quran and Hadith to
be easily accepted and understood by the community. By using the existing
curriculum is expected character education taught in Islam can easily enter in
society so that the goals and ideals of the Quran can be known and applied in
their daily lives.

How
to implement Islamic education
In
the process of implementing Islamic education as a medium in order to achieve
the mission of Al-Quran itself, then there are some focus stages in implementing
Islamic education among them are:
a.
It is reciting the
verses of Allah well and truthfully.
b.
Tazkiyah
purify themselves from the actions that are not good and deviated from the
teachings of the Qur'an.
c.
Talimul
quran wa sunnah namely the teaching
of Al-Quran and Hadith
From
the above activities, it is expected that the process of implementation and
application of the teachings of Al-Quran itself can be applied within the
community, especially in their daily lives.
Islamic
education is more centered on 2 things that is how a person's understanding of
Islam, then after understanding Islam and then implement it in its activities
and always hold fast to the religion of Allah that is by following the entire
contents of the Qur’an, as the word of God in surah Ali-Imran 3: 103:

And
hold on to the ropes of Allah, and do not divorce ... (Q.S. Al-Imran: 103)
From
the above verse we can conclude that the truth only comes from Allah subhanahu
wataala, delivered through His verses. If one wishes to obtain the salvation
and happiness of the world and the hereafter then it must always follow and
practice the content and content of the Qur'an and As-Sunnah.
B.
The
Qur'an
The Quran is the word
of Allah subhanahu wata’ala which is passed down through
the intermediary of the angel Gabriel given directly to the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam as a
guide and guidance for all mankind, as Allah says in surah al-Baqarah 185:

(The prescribed day is) the month of
Ramadan, the month in which the Quran is derived as a guide for man and the
explanations of the guidance and the distinction (between the right and the
vanity). .... (Q.S. Al-Baqarah: 185)
From the above verse Allah
subhanahu wata’ala explains to us that the Qur'an is a guide and guidance for
all human beings who believe that Allah as their god (Islam) and other
non-Moslem (non-Muslim). Allah deliberately make the Qur’an as a guide for all
humans in solving the mystery or knowledge that is in this universe so that
people can use their common sense and think that everything that exists in this
world there is creating that Allah subhanahu
wata’ala that can animate and Deadly
creatures. But it is unfortunate from the knowledge that they have had not make
them believe in Allah subhanahu wata’ala. Their hearts have been locked
as a result of their unwillingness to Allah subhanahu
wata’ala.
1.
Mission
of the Qur'an.
The
education that Allah taught by through His Messenger is sourced to the Qur'an
as a reference and approach so that with tarbiyah
(education) will form a conscious society and make God as God alone. Al-Quran
is the basis of activities and association for all people who claim to believe
in Allah and His Prophets. Whoever does not acknowledge the existence of the
Qur'an then we can say the person is a class of people who go astray.
If
we read about the history of the decline of the Qur'an, then we can take three
main purposes of the Qur'an, namely:
a. Guidance
of faith and belief that must be embraced by the human being implicit in faith
will unity of god and belief in the certainty of the day of vengeance
b. The
guidance on pure morality by way of explaining the norms of faith and morals to
be followed by man in his life individually and collectively.
c. Instructions
recognize the Islam Rules and the law by explaining the legal basis that man
must follow in relation to god and his fellowman. Or in other words shorter,
the Koran is a guide for all humanity to the path that must be pursued for the
happiness of life in the world and the Hereafter.
In
the Qur'an Allah subhanahu wata’ala has explained all things
related to man since man is still in the process of birth until they leave this
world. Allah revealed the Quran so that man can distinguish which is good and
permissible by religion and which is forbidden by Allah subhanahu wata’ala. In
this life God gives two ways for man whether they will believe and follow God
or leave God and follow the invitation and temptation of demons. If they want
to always get salvation from Allah subhanahu
wata’ala then let them believe and
follow the entire content and content of Al-Quran itself, but vice versa if
they just follow their lust and distanced themselves from Al-Quran then they
are including people who Losers.

2. This Book (the
Qur'an) has no doubt on him; Guidance for those who are pious, 3. those who believe in the Unseen, who establish
the prayer, and spend the portion of the Provision which We bestow upon them.
4. and those who believe in the Book (the Qur'an) that has been sent down to
you and the Books that have been revealed before you, and they are sure of the
Hereafter. 5. They are the ones who keep guidance from their Lord, and they are
the ones who are lucky. 6. Surely the disbelievers are the same to them, you
give warning or warn not, they will not believe. (Q.S. Al-Baqarah: 2-6)
The
main mission of the Qur'an itself is to be a guidance for mankind so that they
may read the signs of the greatness of Allah subhanahu wata’ala, and
become a guide to the salvation of the world and the afterlife for the
believers.
Apart
from the main mission above, Al-Quran also aims to make man as a creature who
always fear Allah Subhanahu Wataala, always follow and do what he
ordered and leave what is forbidden. If a servant can carry out both of the
above, then Allah subhanahu wata’ala pledge salvation for him and as
a gift from God for them is a heaven in which the rivers flow. Thus Allah
explains His verses to man that they may be cautious.
2.
Implementation
of the mission of the Quran
After
we know how the mission of the Qur'an above, then we as conscious human, and
sensible should apply all the teachings and commands that have been described
in the Qur’an it. For all people who have long shelter under education that is
characterized by Islam such as Madrasah, Pesantren
and others must have known for sure how the implementation of alias of the
actual application of the Qur'an and in accordance with the example given by
the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi
wasallam. But the question is again how with the layman who has not really
know how the implementation and implementation of the actual mission of the
Quran? Especially to apply in the life of society.
Therefore,
the role and function of Islamic education is needed as a media channel and
guide the community so that understanding of the teachings of Islam contained
in the Qur'an and Hadith fully can be done well so as to produce servants who
believe, cautious and charitable Pious and become a reliable generation of
Islam by religion. In the case of the application of the mission of the Qur'an
we are required to always try not to deviate from the teachings of Islam, and
always try to run and implement all the rules that Allah has set us so that the
practice of worship and our activities get grace from him.
The
Quran is “Rahmatan Lil’aalamin”, the
point being that the Qur'an is a grace descended by Allah subhanahu wata’ala for
all mankind as a sign of God's greatness and compassion to all the creatures he
has created. Perseverance of worship and always remembering God under any
circumstances whether in happy or difficult conditions is one of the musts that
must be done by every human being who has acknowledged that God is his god and
Prophet Muhammad the messenger of Allah.
In
the case of worship as Allah has explained in the Qur'an, which emphasizes to
us first perform the worship. The important thing is that we eliminate the
first obligation of worship so that we are not burdened with sin, the case of
the acceptance of our worship is only the will of Allah subhanahu wata’ala. We
only do our best and hope that our worship will be accepted by Allah and become
our reward.
Indeed
in the case of implementing this is a burden for all the people who do not know
the nature and meaning of the implementation of worship that they do, so they
think it is just something ordinary. If they do such a thing, they do not get
any benefits and rewards the least of what they do. Therefore, we need to know
the importance of the nature and meaning of the practice of worship, so that
the worship we do can be accepted by God.
Article
Analysis:
From the explanation of
the above article on Islamic education as a medium in carrying out the mission
of Al-Quran, from various discussions described there are some that I agree,
including:
Islam is a perfect
religion, with no defects and doubts in it, because the statement is directly
conveyed by Allah subhanahu wataala in many verses in the Qur'an.
So, as a good Muslim, we should make the Qur'an our life guide, because
everything is complete in the Qur'an.
In addition to the
Qur'an, Allah also gives us a signal that we always follow His prophet, that is
Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu alaihi
wasallam in all our actions and daily activities, because as contained in
the verses of the Quran (QS Al-Ahzab : 21)
that in fact it is in the Messenger of God that is a good example for us all as
his people.
Islamic education at
this time is indeed very necessary for every Muslim to always be able to
strengthen the faith, bring Muslims to the real path of Islam according to
Al-Quran and Al-Hadith, shaping the Muslim personality in accordance with
Islamic Rules, and become a useful figure for religion, nation and state.
The purpose of Islamic
education is also a fundamental foundation that we must keep guarding, because
with us studying Islamic education, we will find the essence of Islam itself as
a whole and as a bulwark of all kinds of life problems that we face, We who
study the importance of Islamic education, then who else will do that.
It is undeniable that
the present day Muslims have been at an alarming time, many slanders arise to
destroy the unity of Muslims, many Muslims who have no good moral character,
many Muslims who are far from the Koran and Hadith, And they assume that
general education is perceived to have more interests than the interest itself.
In explain various problems above, so many ways that can be done, one of them
as in the article above is to make education of Islam as media in realizing the
teachings of Al-Quran and Al-Hadith. So that we can awaken the importance of
these two things as a guide our daily lives. The trick is to do teaching
regularly and intensively about Al-Quran and Al-Hadith and can apply it by way
of behaving commendable
And as a conclusion,
then once again the need for a special study so that Muslims in this era can be
awakened to return to Al-Quran and Al-Hadith as the only best life guidelines.
Because in Al-Quran already there are various aspects of the field of life,
starting from worship, behave, socialize, family, to trade (muamalah). And we also need to imitate
and follow every word, deeds and decrees of our Prophet, who is Prophet
Muhammad sallallaahu alaihi wasallam,
because he is an exemplary figure sent by God to us, who can direct us to the
real meaning of life and to gain mercy from God.
Therefore, the only
learning that fits all that is only Islamic Education, because with us studying
Islamic education seriously, then we will be directed back to Al-Quran and
Al-Hadith as the best guideline of life.
Indeed, sometimes found
a variety of obstacles in studying Islamic education, especially for the layman
and for people who consider Islamic education is not important. Therefore, the
need for special strategies in teaching Islamic education to various types of
people, such as to the laity, to small children, to parents and others. So that
the essence and the essence of Islam is really delivered and can be realized in
everyday life through Islamic Education itself.
