Abstract

Lately, secularism becomes a very dangerous belief spreading and infecting a society, because it will make the structure of society is set by social agreements. If social agreement is determined by a forum who supports religious values, the agreement will be in line with religious teachings. On the contrary, if the social agreement is established by the people whose lives are only based on lust, it will produce a society which life is far from the religious teachings. As a Muslim, we should believe that the God's rules are the best. Unfortunately, many Moslem now are secular which disbelieve to the God's rules as the absolute truth. It is seen that Islam is merely a religion, whereas life problem is concerned to intelligence which has limit to reachthe truth. Therefore, to overcome the danger of secularism, the author provides a solution which combines Islamic education thoughts from lbn AI-Qayyim Al-Jauziyah and Syed Naquib AI-Attas. lbn Al - Qayyim Al -Jauziyah focused more on the prenatal education system while Syed Naquib Al - Attas was famous for his thoughts on Science Islamization. When these two thoughts are combined, it will establish intellectuals and religiosity. Syed Muhammad Naquib argues that "A good citizen in a secular country is not the same as a good human being, on the contrary, a good human being is definitely a good citizen". Al - Attas also explained that "the goal of education from the lowest to the highest level should not be aimed at producing a complete citizen, but to create a complete human being ". Al-Attas mentioned that an intellectual is "One who fully realizes his responsibility to God which is Haq ... ". Education is the most influencing factor to the people's thinking patterns. Educational Thoughts from Syed Naquib Al - Attas certainly directs education to Islamic values so that it will keep people away from secularism. On the other hand, a book called Tuhfat Al-Maudud bi Ahkami Al-Maulud which discusses things about Islamic education since people in fetus from the perspective of the Qur'an and the Sunnah has been discussed completely by a great ulama Muhammad Bin Abi Bakr bin Ayyub bin Sa'ad Haris Az-Zar'i Ad-Damasqy or known as lbn AI-Qayyim Al-Jauziyah. It is expected that the combination of Islamic Education Thoughts of the two great figures will be able to present Islam as Rahmatan Lil alamin and keep away from the secularism which is finally able to create integration between science and Islam.
