چکیده:
Integrating knowledge and education has become a major issue
in Malaysia in the context of globalization. This study develops a
teacher-centered Qur’anic methodology based on the integration
of acquired (‘aqlī) and revealed (naqlī) knowledge as regards content,
as well as the integration of teachers’ role in a teaching-learning
process designed to empower students to manage “self” and
“system.” It further investigates the existing curriculum and institutional
efforts to integrate these two types of knowledge, students’
understanding of the integrated knowledge and its learning
process, as well as how the teachers and lecturers understand this
integrated knowledge and apply it to their teaching methods. Data
collected through interviews and surveys of participating school
students and teachers, as well as university students and lecturers,
revealed several issues that need to be addressed.

5 In light of the underlying principles and philosophy of the Islamization of knowledge and education, this study holds that the curriculum, the outcome for students, the learning process, and the quality of teachers in some of the country’s integrated education institutions have to be discussed in the context of the graduates’ personality and impact on society.
Teachers must teach their students according to proper learning process so that the latter can better internalize the Islamic worldview, show the students how to connect revealed and acquired knowledge, and explain the revealed sources in terms of contemporary meanings and philosophical underpinnings.
