Relevance of the Value of Contemporary Islamic Education with Islamic Education in the Time of Umar Bin Khattab

Abstract

This research examines and explores the implementation of Islamic education during the time of Umar bin Khattab and its relevance to contemporary Islamic education. In this study, the authors are interested in raising education during the time of Umar bin Khattab, because Umar's caliph was one of those who made Islamic education progress and develop and expand to other countries. Umar's reign, which tended to be relatively long, namely 10 years, made the Islamic territory expand beyond the Arabian Peninsula. This can be seen when Umar ordered commanders if they succeeded in controlling a city, they were ordered to build a mosque as a place of worship and education.

This type of research is literary research using analytical methods using a social history approach and using books, articles, and journals related to the caliph Umar bin Khattab. As for data collection techniques in writing this thesis by reading, understanding, clarifying, and concluding the contents of journals, books, articles, and novels related to the relevance of Islamic education during the time of Umar bin Khattab to contemporary Islamic education.

The results of this study indicate that Islamic education is relevant during the time of Umar bin Khattab and contemporary Islamic education. It can be seen from several components that are still relevant, namely educators, educational institutions, and educational methods. In terms of educators, during the time of Umar bin Khattab the recruitment of teachers already had qualifications by the scientific midwives of the educators, as well as nowadays. While the educational methods that existed at the time of Umar bin Khattab were halaqah, talaq, and lectures. These three methods are still relevant to educational methods today. This shows that Islamic education is relevant today and Islamic education at the time of Umar bin Khattab. It's just that education is now more sophisticated and facilitated by technological sophistication.
