Abstract

This study explores the transformative potential of the Noble Quran as a scientific authority in reshaping the science of education and pedagogy. Employing a descriptive, analytical, and critical methodology, it examines the Quran’s unique attributes—systematicity, comprehensiveness, trans-historicity, and inerrancy—as foundational for scientific advancement. The research highlights how Quranic epistemological, ontological, anthropological, and axiological foundations, coupled with its sublime objectives, such as proximity to God, provide a robust framework for educational transformation. By establishing principles like convergence, conformity with Islam, and gradualism, the Quran fosters sustainable and meaningful pedagogical development. The findings underscore that reliance on the Quran’s scientific authority enables profound transformations in education, surpassing secular frameworks that lack its distinctive qualities. This study affirms the Quran’s capacity to elevate sciences, particularly education, by offering a holistic and infallible guide for knowledge production and human development.
