Islamic Education, Insan Kamil, and the Challenges of the Era of Society 5.0: A Literature Review

Abstract

This study attempts to elaborate the concepts of Islamic education, the concept of insan kamil, and the challenges of the two concepts. This study is considered very important considering that both concepts face serious challenges in the Society 5.0 era. Through the literature review method on a number of relevant literature, the study found several conclusions. Facing the challenges of the Society 5.0 era, Islamic education must improve itself and try little by little to solve the various problems that bind it. The efforts that are offered as alternatives in this article, which are also frequently raised by the results of previous studies, can at least be used as academic and practical discourses in addressing the conditions and existence of Islamic education and the challenges it faces. A number of alternatives offered are (1) eliminating the notion of dualism-science, (2) developing teacher professionalism standards, (3) developing Islamic education as a center of excellence, (4) reorienting the understanding of Islamic teachings, and (5) optimizing the curriculum of the Islamic Religious Education in public schools
