Abstract

This research departs from the downturn of the Islamic education system in the Middle Ages, one of which, according to Fazlur Rahman, is the discussion of philosophy. Even according to al-Ghazali he considered it as a science that is heresy. As a result, it is undeniable that people's beliefs arise to separate between religious science and general science. The influence of al-Ghazali's thought was later criticized by Fazlur Rahman. As a figure of Islamic thought, Fazlur Rahman considers the decline of the medieval Islamic education system to require reconstruction by combining medieval settings with modern (secular) times, because the consequences of this downturn have a broad impact on other sectors. So Fazlur Rahman will do this which is a solution to lift the downturn in the Islamic education system by offering and adapting the Western education system that is trying to be "Islamized". This is what drives this research to reveal the modernization side of Fazlur Rahman's education.The method used in this research is qualitative by using a descriptive analysis approach to the literature (library research). This is done as an object representation of the reality contained in the problem under study to describe everything related to the main theme of the problem.The results show that the traditional Islamic education system will not bring rapid progress, especially in the fields of science and technology. Therefore, Fazlur Rahman criticized the medieval Islamic education system which he considered tended to be traditional, because it had separated the science of religion from philosophy as a result of the influence of al-Ghazali's thinking. From the research that has been done, the modernization of Fazlur Rahman's education system has main characteristics, namely: 1) The use of hermeneutic methods and historical criticism, 2) The difference between Normative Islam and Historical Islam, 3) Merging traditional Islamic education systems with western education systems (secular). However, Fazlur Rahman realizes that there are obstacles in implementing the modernization of the education system. These problems include: 1) The purpose of education does not lead to a positive one, 2) There is still a dichotomy in the implementation of the education system, 3) The quality of students is still low, 4) the lack of professional teachers, 5) Limited literature or libraries.
