The Inculcation of ‘Adab’ as the Essence of Education

Journal Title: Asian Journal of Management Sciences and Education - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 4

Abstract

Education is a learning itinerary and a well-planned journey of experience in achieving the desired learning objectives. It is a tool to educate the new generation properly and assisting them to enrich their talent, strength, professionalism and preparing them to be responsible for themselves, family and society. The emergence of numerous institutions of higher learning in generating graduates from various disciplines is the result of the curriculum developed by the scholars. However, recent issues concerning the degradation of moral and social values affecting the economy, politics, laws and even family relationship ‘triggered’ by the educated people or the university graduates has triggered a question mark: is there any loophole in the curriculum of a higher learning institution that caused a production of soul- less or ‘robots in flesh’? This paper will discuss on the concept of instilling adab in the education process in purpose of reclaiming soul in education. The views from the Islamic education scholars are taken as the reference besides looking at KUIS’ approaches in developing the student’s character. It is hoped that this paper will provide a clear worldview in developing the students of a higher learning institution. In conclusion, a few suggestions are given emphasizing on the coordination of the curriculum and co-curriculum management.
