Ta'arruf as a Philosophy of Muslim education

Mehr zum Buch

The book presents a compelling defense of ta'arruf, or associational knowing, as an enriched interpretation of good education. It begins by exploring Abu Bakr Effendi's rational and pragmatic approach to Muslim educational philosophy. The author argues that ta'arruf fosters an autonomous self, encourages diverse deliberative dialogues, and inspires reflective openness to growth. Ultimately, this concept is positioned as a means to cultivate humanity, extending the practices of tarbiyyah, ta'lim, and ta'dib within the context of Muslim educational philosophy.
