Islamic Education as an Instrument of Maqashid Al Syariah: Study of the Thought of Sheikh Sulaiman Ar-Rasuli

Abstract

Islamic education in Indonesia still has various kinds of problems that have not been resolved, ranging from internal and external problems of educators to the contribution of students after completing education. Islamic education is expected to be able to provide a safe space and benefit humanity. In terms of Islamic law, Maqashid Al Syari'ah is a concept that seeks to protect aspects of human life, namely religion, soul, mind, property and offspring. The aim of this research is to examine Sheikh Sulaiman Ar-Rasuli's thoughts on Islamic education and the integration of Islamic education with Maqashid Al Syari'ah. The methodology used is qualitative library research with a Hermeneutical approach and the primary source used is the work of Syekh Sulaiman Ar-Rasuli entitled Guidebook for Living in the Minangkabau Nature according to the Lines of Adat and Syarak. The research results show that Islamic education is an instrument used by Sheikh Ar-Rasuli in implementing the concept of Maqashid Al Syari'ah. The integration of the two shows the maintenance of aspects of human life carried out through Islamic education.
