Understanding the quran resources as main principle for family institution in islamic education

Abstract

This conceptual paper discusses the Koran as a source of Islamic education principles. The Quran is a holy book that is perfect and complete with all instructions for all humanity. This is because of its miracle which no longer needs to be denied. This case may be referred to the basis on variations in the understanding of the Koran itself. In fact the Koran and its relation to Islam cannot be separated at all. The smile of Islam itself is based on the Koran. Indeed, the Koran is the most important source of reference in all aspects including education. The Quran has been placed as a source of Islamic educational principles because of its universal nature. Manifestation of the Koran as an unauthorized source may be seen in the aspect of formal education in schools solely, even the earliest education process which actually starts from the establishment of a family institution.
