PEMIKIRAN SYEKH YUSUF AL MAQASSARI TENTANG PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DAN RELEVANSINYA DALAM DUNIA PENDIDIKAN ISLAM KONTEMPORER

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze Sheikh Yusuf al-Maqassari's biographies and concepts regarding Islamic education and its relevance in educational contexts. Sheikh contributed to the educational landscape in Indonesia by integrating Islamic principles with public sciences. A hermeneutic methodology was applied alongside qualitative research techniques. Secondary data was utilized, gathered via documentation methods and subjected to content analysis. Sheikh Yusuf al-Maqassari originated from Gowa, South Sulawesi. His early education was exclusively focused on Islam. He pursued further Islamic studies in the Arabian Peninsula with distinguished scholars. He played a pivotal role in the dissemination of Islam and Sufism in Ceylon, South Africa, and Indonesia. Sheikh Yusuf's educational perspectives include key concepts of tasawuf, such as Ihathah Ma'iyah, Wahdat Syuhud, and Insan Kamil. He gave a thorough explanation of the concept of sufism in terms of its implications and pedagogical tenets. A generation of strong faith and tolerance in communal life may be sustained by modern education through Sheikh Yusuf's moral sufism. As seen by the effectiveness of da'wah, Sheikh Yusuf's contribution to Islamic education is an enemy to increase tolerance so that Islam may be seen by the general public as a polite and peaceful religion.
