The ultimate goal of Islamic education in the Holy Quran

The ultimate goal of Islamic education in the holy Quran.

In the available sources and books, there are various interpretations of the educational goals of Islam. These interpretations are many and varied, but they all represent different forms of themselves. Nevertheless, based on Islam's view of the world of creation, the origin of the universe, and the purpose it draws for the general movement of the world, a valuable goal is achieved from this school that cannot be found in any of the educational schools. According to Islamic ontology, the primary purpose of the creation of the universe is God, and the whole universe revolves around its absolute existence. As a result, the ultimate goal of Islamic education, above which no other goal can be imagined, will be near God.

The Holy Qur'an, according to this ultimate goal, calls the pioneers of good deeds closer to God. In verses 10 and 11 of Surah Al-Waqi'ah, it is described in the description of those close to God that they both do good deeds and steal the lead from others in this regard. In Surah An-Najm, this matter is completed, and the description of closeness to God is used about a great prophet who has attained the highest human perfections and is the example of all. Innocent Ali leaders also refer to this ultimate goal in various interpretations. They consider the end of life in this world as the hope of meeting God and their nearness to God as their strongest desire.

Accordingly, nearness to God should overshadow education and all human behavior and bring the individual and society closer to this ideal goal. At the same time, from the Islamic point of view, the definition of this goal and the general orientation of human behavior does not negate the determination of other appropriate goals. Each of the behavioral domains has an immediate goal that requires proper planning to achieve.

Therefore, in addition to the nearness to God, the ultimate goal of Islamic education, we can speak of other purposes that achieve their actual value in the light of the ideal destination.
