INTEGRASI NILAI SPIRITUAL, INTELEKTUAL DAN MORAL DALAM KONSEP PENDIDIKAN SAID NURSI

Abstract

Bediuzzaman Said Nursi (1877-1960) was an Islamic revivalist who lived
in the last period of the Ottoman caliphate in Turkey. He emerged with his
book "Risale-i Nur" trying to save the faith of Muslims by revealing the
miracle of Qur'an. The primarly purpose of the Risale-i Nur is the
revitalization of the faith of the ordinary believers, along with moral
renewal. The methodology employed in this paper is qualitative. The main
corpus used is Nursi’s book of Risale-i Nur. The findings of this article
reveal that the concept of education according to Said Nursi’s view is an
integration of three main elements which combine religious sciences (alulum al-diniyyah) with modern cosmic science (al-ulum al-kauniyyah alhaditsah) and the values of sufism doctrine. Nursi stated that religious
knowledge was the light for heart while modern science was the light of
the mind. The combination of both will guide to the truth and minimize
bigotry. The main curriculum of learning should study the main topics
contained in the Risale-i Nur. This concept combines three holistic
aspects: spirituality which come from religious schools (medrese),
intelectuality which come from the scientific schools (mekteb) and morality
that come from the sufistic schools (tekke).
