Interpretation of Qur’an Verses on Learning Objects in Islamic Education

Abstract

Islamic education is a learning system based on the Qur’an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad, aimed at developing individuals with faith, knowledge, and noble character. The Qur’an serves not only as a life guide but also as the main reference for defining the nature and objects of learning. In Islam, the object of learning encompasses all aspects related to humans, the universe, and divine revelation, serving as a means to know the Creator. Understanding Quranic verses related to learning is essential to build an educational paradigm that integrates spiritual, intellectual, and moral dimensions. This study aims to analyze the interpretation of Quranic verses concerning learning objects in Islamic education to identify divinely rooted educational concepts. Using a qualitative, library-based method, the research examines classical and modern tafsir works such as Tafsir Al-Maraghi, Tafsir Al-Mishbah, and Fi Zhilalil Qur’an. The findings reveal three dimensions of learning: divine (knowing God), human (developing mind, heart, and morals), and universal (learning from God’s creation). Thus, all creation serves as a learning laboratory leading humans toward ulul albab those who unite knowledge and spirituality in pursuit of holistic perfection.
