Abstract

This study examines the virtue of knowledge in Irshad al Ibad by Shaykh Zayn al Din ibn Abd al Aziz al Malibari and its relevance to contemporary Islamic education. Using qualitative textual and conceptual analysis, the research focuses on the discussion of knowledge as its primary source within the Islamic scholarly tradition. The findings show that knowledge is understood not merely as intellectual attainment, but as a moral and spiritual force that shapes faith, ethical behavior, and social responsibility. Knowledge is presented within an integrated hierarchy of creed, jurisprudence, and ethics, forming a unified educational vision oriented toward character development. The study further demonstrates that the realization of this virtue is guided by normative educational principles influencing curriculum orientation, learning processes, and assessment practices, rather than technical instructional models alone. This perspective offers a critical response to contemporary Islamic education that often emphasizes instrumental rationality and competency-based outcomes. By reaffirming the virtue of knowledge as an epistemological and pedagogical foundation, this study supports a more holistic model of Islamic education integrating intellectual, moral, and spiritual dimensions.
