ABSTRACT
Epistemology as a branch in philosophy has an important position in science including in Islamic This research critically examines the epistemological construction of Islamic education through a perspective of falsification which was coined by Karl R.
Popper.
This research used a qualitative approach to the type of literature study and analyzes data through a productive hermeneutical approach.
The conclusion of this research shows that scientific epistemology needs to be designed to understand the theories, concepts, and propositions of the Islamic education system.
Scientific epistemology contains the verificative-philosophical logic and intuition-revelation logic (Qur'an and al-Hadith.
This epistemology has a rational-critical, empirical, intuitive, and prophetic .
dimension and it is called Prophetic Criticism.
The implication is that Islamic education will have an integrative view of the profane .
and transcendental .
Islamic education is the logical-superlogical content of subjective-objective thinking, the world of theorysupratheory, and critical argumentation with a rational-intuitive foundation of self and outside selfviews.

INTRODUCTION
Epistemology is a branch in philosophy and it has a very important meaning for the building of knowledge (Moser, 2002.
Bianca & Piccari, 2015.
Burhanuddin, 2018.
Delic, 2017.
Gallagher, 2005.
Lechte, 2007.
Qomar, 2007.
Sodiq, 2017.
Watloly, 2.
Therefore, in the world of education, epistemology has a strategic position to continue to develop educational concepts and theories (Humaidi, 2013.
Rangkuti, 2.
including Islamic education theory (Hanafi, 2011.
Rangkuti, 2019.
Humaidi, 2013.
Sumedi, 2009.
Syaifudin, 2.
Moreover.
Islamic education continues to be in the midst of a changing society and has an education subject who continues to be .
and is in the process of forming themselves (Gallagher.
It is normal if epistemology will continue to be used to develop educational theories.
addition to these two things, normatively.
Islam also encourages people to think about and examine the dynamics of nature and humanity -this pattern is only possessed by ul al-albAb (Surah Ali Imran verses 190-.
Therefore.
Islam explicitly explains that in developing science, the use rationality-empirical basis for epistemology is a possible way.
Although this process consists of the levels of certainty, namely: through cognition, perception, and experience (Nor, 2.
To develop some concepts, theories, and propositions.
Islamic education uses the study of epistemology as its basic framework (Jalaludin, 2.
Islamic education in its epistemological building is not only designed as a humanitarian authority .

but also arises from a transcendental normative framework .
uch as revelation, inspiration, and guidanc.
These two slices .

do not stand alone but are integrated with an epistemological unity (Arifin, 2014.
Hery, 2008.
Rahman, 1984.
Rizal, 2016.
Wahyuddin, 2.
Whereas to test the truth of concepts, theories, and the propositions produced, it is done by verifying through inductive logic.
Experts try to gather the facts of the field as proof of the truth of the concept, proposition, or hypothesis.
Some Islamic education experts explicitly support this concept include Daulay, 2014.
Muhaimin, 2015.
Muhammad, 1992.
or Qomar, 2014.
Even the figure of Ibn Taymiyah is a figure who believes in inductive logic-considered the only form of authoritative argument.
The emergence of conclusions about the truth of scientific theory in Islamic education has been objective.
This level arises because scientific truth has been empirically proven through a series of experiments.
In other words, scientific theories .
oncepts or proposition.
are said to be meaningful, even to the extent that they have achieved scientific truth if they can be verified with sensory .
In fact, the building of Islamic education science will be more solid if the truth is a lot of denials of the construction of concepts, theories, propositions, or hypotheses in it.
Therefore, the falsification triggered by Karl R.
Popper needs to be used as a perspective to test the construction of the truth of Islamic education.
This is justified in one of Komarudin's .
writings which concluded that the philosophical principle of Karl R.
Popper was very appropriate to be applied in various Islamic scientific studies, or research from Mohammad (Dochmie, 2.
which led to the conclusion that the Islamic sciences through the principle of falsification can be verified .
he scientific dimensio.
Even in education, the principle of falsification is able to identify problems effectively, as summarized from the Margison, .
The truth of a scientific discipline lies in empirical rationality as evidenced by However, that truth is not a reality as long as the truth is not falsifiable.
Therefore, in the context of the truth of the epistemology of Islamic education, the truth parameter does not lie in inductive verification but lies in falsifiability.
This is exemplified by Popper .
through a statement about Geese having white feathers not the truth as long as gray geese are not found.
This pattern or criterion is a demarcation line based on the Vol.

December 2019 M/1441 H Islamic education Construction A asymmetry between verity and falsifiability.
Therefore, universal statements containing propositions or hypotheses cannot be derived from a single statement but can be contradicted by singular revelation (Taryadi, 1.
That is, the construction of the epistemology of Islamic education to find the truth of a theory, propositions or hypotheses is not a "must" use to the principle of verification.
Principle is actually the source of problems in the body of Islamic education itself.
The reason is in the principle of verification, according to Popper .
, a theory will result in positive dimensions, so it is possible to distinguish between empirical and metaphysical knowledge and/or to give limitations to science and pseudoscience.
Therefore, there are at least two problems that arise in this domain, namely: first, the verificative principle only leads Islamic education experts to focus on the facts that correspond to their propositions or The verificative principle ignores the facts of anomalies that are contrary to their propositions or hypotheses because they only collect appropriate empirical evidence.
Second, the compilation of theories, propositions or hypotheses that exist in Islamic education will be partly considered pseudoscience .
because they do not have empirical truth .
ational-verificatio.
Therefore, the epistemological construction of Islamic education does not only look at the positivistic-verification side, but the other side also needs to be weighed by the Karl R.
Popper falsification approach.
Thus, this research focuses on the epistemological construction used to build Islamic education's knowledge.
This research brings out into the question: What is the epistemological construction of Islamic education in the philosophical perspective of Karl R.
Popper? The basis for finding meaning from the epistemological framework of Islamic education is seen from the philosophical point of view of Karl R.
Popper.
METHOD
This research used a qualitative approach applying library research.
Data were collected through library research.
The analysis of data applied a productive hermeneutic approach.
That is a method for producing new interpretations by interpreting the text .
of philosophical thinking in the context when the researcher reads it through the philosophical perspective of Karl R.
Popper.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
An Overview of Karl R.
Popper Karl Raimund Popper was born in Vienna on July 28, 1902.
He inherited his interest in philosophy from his father.
Sigmund Carl Popper.
At the age of 16, he left his school "real gymnasium" because he thought that the lessons were not interesting.
Then he came to the University of Vienna and in 1922 and he was accepted as a student.
For several years he embraced the communism then he decided not to follow it.
Popper's rejection of Marxism during his teenage years left a profound mark on his thought.
He had at one point joined a socialist association, and for a few months in 1919 considered himself a communist.
He did not simply accept an uncritical dogmatism and he became anti-Marxist for a lifetime.
His encounter with Marxism was acknowledged as one of the important events in his intellectual development.
In 1919.
Popper heard what Einstein was doing and this event dominated his thinking.
He once listened to Einstein's lecture in Vienna and was interested in Einstein's theory which could not be sustained if it failed a particular test.
He looked for experiments whose compatibility with his predictions did not mean to confirm his theory.
Mismatch between theory and experiment will determine whether the theory can be maintained or not.

of its flagship theory.
His most important works in the field of social scienceAiThe Poverty of Historicism .
and The Open Society and Its Enemies .
Aiwere inspired by his reflection on the events of his time and represented, in a sense, a reaction to the prevalent totalitarian ideologies that then dominated Central European politics.
His books defended democratic liberalism as a social and political philosophy.
They also represented extensive critiques of the philosophical presuppositions underpinning all forms of totalitarianism.
Popper thought that Einstein's theory, as a theory properly grounded in scientific thought and method, was highly "risky", in the sense that it was possible to deduce consequences from it which differed considerably.
The nature of such theories made it impossible for any criticism or experimentAieven in principleAito show them to be When Popper later tackled the problem of demarcation in the philosophy of science, this conclusion led him to posit that the strength of a scientific theory lies in its both being susceptible to falsification, and not actually being falsified by criticism made of it.

Popper: Falsification In general, the philosophy of Karl R.
Popper is more patterned as a counter to a positivistic ideology that tends to develop inductive thinking methods.
In the philosophy circle of science, he is considered to exist against various thoughts or ideologies that break all knowledge through verification.
He considered the inductive method unable to distinguish between science and pseudo-science.
between empirical science and non-empirical science (Berkson & Wettersten, 2.
He even considered that the method could not distinguish the system between empirical science and logic, and mathematics as metaphysics (Popper, 1.
These thoughts are the starting point of the philosophy of science of Karl R.
Popper.
However, he asserted that the opposing thoughts were logical thinking.
as he stated that he was very rationalist in criticizing the opinions of others and he was willing to accept criticism and learn from the criticism (Popper, 1.
Karl R.
Popper thought was not free from criticism.
Thomas S.
Kuhn describe the criticism to Popper.
He stated.
Popper had twisted the facts by parsing the emergence of empirical science through hypothetical paths and new falsifications were arranged.
This effort was commonly carried out as a general effort in empirical science, after which Popper put forward a number of examples in the history of science to be used as evidence of defending and defending his assumptions (Kuhn, 1.
This criticism indicates.
Popper's view was able to influence the basic framework of validation of the truth of science.
The opinion of Thomas Kuhn provides a point of clarity on the basis of philosophy developed by Karl R.
Popper who tried to develop science through criticism based on empirical facts.
Therefore, the empirical criticism of Karl R.
Popper appears not based on assumptions that were born in a vacuum, but it arises from the dialectic between the inductive-verification method and The dividing line .
etween verificative-inductive and falsificatio.
is what is said to be a demarcation criterion.
The verifiable principle explicitly and strongly rejects knowledge that is not based on real facts, including rejection of metaphysics because it does not have a real empirical source of facts and is finally claimed to be meaningless.
Through the demarcation criterion.
Karl R.
Popper could sort and distinguish between science and pseudo-science.
between real science and fake science.
Because he considers inductivism to put the position of the principle of science into static.

And it turns out that stability only breeds chaos and stagnation in discovering new knowledge, including in the knowledge of Islamic Based on this description, the philosophical thinking of Karl R.
Popper's knowledge is indeed very interesting to use in the construction of knowledge of Islamic education.
Because in Islamic education not only worldly orientation arises but also there is a religious orientation.
It is these two orientations that need to be weighed using a falsification framework to see nonempirical-verification scientific facts .
eschatological metaphysic.
This thought arises not only based on the material framework of Islamic education knowledge but also arises from the material thinking of Karl R.
Popper himself.
The development of Karl R.
Popper's philosophy can be divided globally into two periods, namely: the period of crisis rationalism .
and the metaphysical period (Schipp, 1.
The methodological period includes the fields of induction, demarcation, and falsification.
while the metaphysical period speaks of the world (Taryadi, 1.
In the aspect of methodology, falsification serves as a form of strong criticism of neopositivistic position itself and as a solution or alternative.
Therefore, falsification offers ideas in which there are criticisms to test errors in theory or science.
The more theory or science survives from criticism or from an effort to uncover its mistakes, the more corroborative .
the existence of the theory will be.
In the view of philosophy, there is no theory or science that has definitive or final truths, only propositions or hypotheses .

That is, the principle of falsification confirms that the power of a theory, proposition, or hypothesis is not determined by the level of validity/truth of the theory, proposition, or hypothesis, but it is determined by the power to prove its error .
roof of erro.
(Popper, 1.
From this, the application of the deductive method for testing the reliability of a theory is very possible, therefore science will continue to develop.
Epistemology of Islamic Education Epistemology is a branch of philosophy that breaks down critically about science (Bagir.
Maksudin, 2016.
Ravertz, 2014.
Tafsir, 2.
Epistemology is considered as a philosophy of knowledge because it enables to discuss the construction of knowledge starting from its origin, its boundaries, the nature, methods, and validity of that knowledge.
It can be said as philosophical science that is specifically geared to get the essence of knowledge.
When it comes to discuss the epistemology, one should understand the epistemological material object, namely knowledge.
while the formal object is the essence of knowledge itself.
The discussion starts from the meaning of knowledge, the process of growth and development of knowledge, kinds of knowledge, and methods in knowledge (AsyAoari, 2.
Therefore, the methodology is used to compile knowledge in accordance with the standards of truth, theories, propositions, or hypotheses.
In this context, the discussion of the epistemology of Islamic education is more oriented towards approaches that can build knowledge or theory of Islamic education.
The epistemology approach is the most possible entity to develop Islamic education knowledge in terms of theoretical and applicative.
Scholars who examine epistemology in various disciplines have been emerged like Bagir, 2017.
Effendi, 2013.
Mujahidin, 2013.
or Yazdi, 1992.
Islamic education, the study of epistemology has also been written by several figures, namely Abdullah .
n Mulkhan & et.

Ahmad & Lubis, 2017.
Syaifudin, 2013.
Widiyanto.
This indicates that epistemology has a strategic role in developing science, particularly Islamic education.
The development of science is also increasingly confirming the existence of epistemology as a part that must not be abandoned.
Naturally, if the philosophical study of Islamic education is more often parsed on the epistemological dimension than ontological and axiological dimensions.

divides three types of approaches, namely.
empirical methods, logical methods, and intuitive methods or revelations.
These epistemological approaches are essentially functioning to foster and increase the awareness of the subject of education about In essence, the subject of Islamic education in developing theories or knowledge of Islamic education emphasizes not only the results but also the process of how to obtain Therefore, epistemology provides a comprehensive, detailed and intact understanding.
Islamic education cannot be separated from the framework of the methodology -read epistemology to build a true knowledge.
Sources, objects, and methods should be understood and examined in order to be able to obtain and build theories in Islamic education.
Although between Islamic education and conventional education has a different pattern, especially at the source and method.
The source of Islamic education is the verses of qawliyyah .
he Qur'an and the Hadit.
and qawniyyah .
he univers.
While the method for obtaining the truth continues to integrate between profane values -humanitarian authority- with the normative value of In constructing the truth of knowledge, as in ArifinAos thought, it still follows scientific thinking based on Islamic values Ghofur .
So, the epistemology that is built does not let go of profanity values as an arena for the struggle of Islamic education theory.
This is in line with the development of al-Farabi's educational philosophy pyramid, namely the internalization of naturalism, nativism, and empiricism.
The main characteristics of the epistemology of Islamic education are strongly tied to the normative value of verse qawliyyah, and place it as the ultimate paradigm.
In this realm, the epistemology of Islamic education is integrated and framed with these prophetic values, even though theories, propositions, or hypotheses arise through a rational-empirical or positivisticverification pattern.
With a dialectical-consultative or confrontational-contradictory pattern.
Islamic education continuously integrates empirical-rationality .

the way the Qur'an and the Hadith are able to understand the reality.
Knowledge of Islamic education through integrative epistemology is expected to be able to educate and enlighten human civilization.
Epistemology which are discussed with integration based on processes involving logical implications is built by removing dichotomous paradigms.
In fact, it also fosters knowledge that is submitted to prophetic ethics amr maAorf, nahi munkar, and tawud.
this epistemology which is said in one of the research is able to bring up a generation of moslems who are righteous in religion as well as science and technology (Yusuf, 2.
However, most Islamic education experts tend to carry out a positivistic critical-procedural analysis.
Logic, hypothesis, and verification are terms that cannot be taken away in analyzing Islamic education As if the corrective parameters of the truth of knowledge can only be proven through these procedures, namely inductivity mindset.
It is this mindset that encourages empirical observation and experience metamorphosed into evidence and parameters of knowledge objectivity.
In fact, withdrawing singular statements into general needs to be tested using a falsification framework (Berkson & Wettersten, 2.

Islamic Education Perspective of Falsification Epistemology in Islamic education is needed as a medium to realize the goals that are In terms of epistemology, according to Widiawati's .
Islamic education is expected to reflect the process of forming students who are able to apply their knowledge into their attitudes and actions.
Indeed, conceptually, the epistemology of Islamic education has comprehensive characteristics, foundations, and sources, so it is very different from the epistemology of Western education which tends to be partial.
Western education prioritizes critical, empirical, and theoretical dimensions, while Islamic education adds one dimension, namely the illAhiyah dimension.
Therefore, the final orientation of the epistemology of Islamic education is the degree of devotion and the human approach to God (Matin & Sahed, 2017.
Siswanto, 2.
or the benefit of humans in the world and the hereafter.
These four dimensions certainly exist in Islamic education, which Sumedi .
termed the wisdom Islamic education is designed not only to focus on the development of worldly potential -material or physics- but also to embrace aspects of end -immaterial or metaphysics.
Based on the ontology framework.
Islamic education recognizes being in two domains, namely physics and metaphysics.
While on the side of axiology it does not emphasize the realization of pragmatic worldliness but afterlife too.
Likewise, the epistemological aspect, the construction of knowledge of Islamic education depends on the power of ratio and empirical or empirical rationality and depends its truth on two normative forces, namely the Qur'an and the Hadith (Sunn.
Clearly through this framework.
Islamic education can not only be proven through rational-empirical processes, but also at the same time there is an intuitive-metaphysical proof.
Therefore.
Hanafi .
stated that because between science and con-science is a unity, then when developing and exploring concepts of theories and practices it does not stop at the fact but it also needs to be in the fact behind the fact.
so there needs to be a definition of metaphysical meanings in each physical proposition.
In a positivistic view, what is stated as a science is a concept, theory, or proposition that can be proven empirically, because positivistic views only consider "ontos" which can be observed positively, namely sensory.
In Islamic education, "ontos" is not as reality, but it is a sign of the existence of ultimate reality (Go.
Islamic education treats "ontos" integratively -it does not separate between physical and metaphysical dimensions.
between material and However, this does not necessarily make Islamic education enter and lock itself in the view of esotericism and only holds strongly the mystical-sufistic intuition epistemology and subject-essential evaporation.
Islamic education still holds strong the urgency of rationalempirical perceptions which guarantees an objectification of objectivism and universalism as its epistemological basis.
In the epistemology of Islamic education there are two types of knowledge, namely Kasbi and Ladduni.
However.
Kasbi science appears to remain based on the positivistic-verification basis.
In KasbiAos science, the chaos of scientific work procedures determines the validity of the truth that is built and the epistemological emphasis is very thick on positivistic.
Therefore.
Kasbi science does not come at the truth of objective substance which is integrative AuontosAy and only reaches the degree of validity of epistemology by using a manipulative-benefit In fact at this time.
KasbiAos science designed in Islamic education is the result of theories, propositions, or hypotheses that have been verified through inductive-empirical In fact, the scientific anatomy that composes Islamic education cannot always be proven using that logic, as about the dimensions of aqeedah -the concept of divinity, heaven and hell, angels, or jinn- which cannot be materially -empirically verified.
That is, in this realm it cannot Vol.

Umiarso be proven through inductive inference as in science.
Thus, the anatomy of Islamic education cannot be fully verified through particular inductive proofs.
Even so, when it cannot be proven it does not mean that Islamic education cannot be regarded as science.
there is the highest fact behind the facts.
As it has been done by a researcher when examining the facts of diversity and godliness behind the reality of "nista", namely the reality of AoAyam KampusAo/sex workers (Rijal & Umiarso, 2.
like other writings that see explicit feuds and implicit integration between sharia law entities and Sufism (Rijal & Umiarso, 2.
In terms of positivistic-verification, the truth of Islamic education material-fasting, will not be proven through the rational-empirical dimension.
Therefore.
Islamic education cannot be said as a science, but it can be said as a deceit science or false science.
although it was able to bring the subject of Islamic education to the highest reality that is the divine reality -humans who transform themselves into "God" (Rijal & Umiarso, 2.
It cannot be denied that Islamic education through inductive verification can be said not as a scientific discipline categorized as pure science with particular, materialistic, and rational-empirical characteristics.
Because it is not able to be proven rational-empirically which demands particular materialistic proof, or objectivity has been attempted in the general direction.
In this framework, the line of demarcation between science and pseudo-science -falsification- which Popper triggered becomes very relevant so that we can distinguish both of them.
As a science, of course, falsification cannot be separated from the effort to test the construction of concepts, theories, or propositions in Islamic education.
It means that testing the truth through systemic and massive denials is needed to strengthen Islamic education as a science, framework or education system.
It is clear that Islamic education will be considered legitimate as a science if it has been placed on a rational asymmetric line between variability and falsifiability.
On the other hand, it needs to be verified by inductive logic, and also needs to be falsified through deductive logic that can deny the construction of the concepts, theories, or propositions itself.
The function of falsification is able to sharpen the implementation of Islamic education.
Clearly, falsification does not mean as a systemic and structured effort to reject overall concepts, theories, or propositions in Islamic education.
The construction of Islamic education is a scientific discipline, then the truth is relative insofar as there have not been found anomalies that influences it.
Islamic education in this area is only a temporary assumption .
that is not final and very open to criticism or even replaced by other educational systems.
In this context, the doctrine of Islamic education about the greatness of the behavior of the prophet Muhammad .
notted in four characteristics, namely tablgh, faAnah, amAnah, and idd.
This great personality should be sought "records" -especially the four traits- to test the truth of these concepts, theories, or and more "no records" are found, more the truth is.
This effort by Popper is termed the thesis of refutability that is, a concept, theory, or proposition .
if there is a space or gap that allows criticism and denial.
Obviously, to test the truth of Islamic education it is necessary to put inductive rationalization as an entry point and to test the objectivity, it is necessary through deductive rationalization.
In this area, critical efforts through proof of "right" or "wrong" become the basis of the demarcation of science and the pseudo-science (Popper, 1.
, included in the Islamic education system.
This domain is what Popper says as a critical phase.
The effort can actually be done by using the epistemological-methodical trilogy of Islamic education, namely bayAn, burhAn, and irfAn.

Through this procedure.
Islamic education -as well as the Qur'an and the Hadith- increasingly affirmed by the existence of truth in the realm of humanity, because it has exceeded the phase of "error" that cannot be realized.
Whereas irfAn .
confirms the results of the falsification subjectively to arrive at enlightening in other words, discursive knowledge needs to be integrated with the knowledge of intuition -the values of spirituality, e.
d- so that concepts, theories, or propositions can contribute to human life.
This can be seen from the research findings of the author, the kiai's leadership effective in developing pesantren educational institutions, including culture in Islamic boarding schools on the basis of spiritual values -or Islamic values (Umiarso, 2.
People tend to view the dimension of intuition which is closely related to the entity of metaphysics as an unscientific fact.
The objective scientific truth states that the final claim is a lie and it is criticized by Karl R.
Popper.
Thomas S.
Kuhn.
Richard Rorty, or Paul Feyerabend (Syamsuri, 2.
Islamic education in this field needs to establish itself as an educational system that cannot be denied and functioned by the benefits of the subject of education.
Therefore, it affirmed itself in front of scientific skeptics through various forms of rejection, or even with a test of proof of the error.
For example, the relevance of Islamic education values in millennial society with the conclusion "through internalizing the values of Islamic education, society X has a strong character".
This conclusion is an empirical fact which can be proven by disablement or errors through tracking X community members who have weak If in reality there is no community member with a weak character, then the conclusion is considered wrong.
Through proof of this error.
Islamic education does not stand on an ignorance assumption or on the basis of mere conviction, but it stands firmly on the foundation of proof of truth through pre-verification verificative-inductive and continued deductive-falsification.
People today are still not accustomed to using the pattern of falsification as an alternation of scientific work procedures for Islamic education.
They only recognize a concept, theory, or proposition, if there is something that strengthens, confirms, and justifies its existence.
and even they thought, knowledge was confined in the midst of facts that he could not overcome.
Though logical positivism indivisivism will not be able to load all the material and dynamics of Islamic education.
One of the unique features of Islamic education, fosters educational theories from creative imaginations that emerge from socio-historical wombs and normative texts .
he Qur'an and the Hadit.
Testing its theory not only confirms, but also finds the validity of educational theory -this is what Popper, .
said as an epistemology of open society.
It is clear if the scientific theory of Islamic education emerges based on findings or allegations that appear bold to be eliminated if it is contrary to empirical This is what has been epistemologically said by Karl R.

However, we need to recognize that Islamic education in Greek influence began from the thought system and the substantial analysis of ideas which tend to be intuitive in terms of Fauzan & Fata .

Thus, the metaphysics of Islamic education is not seen as a pseudo science .

Moreover, as Popper said, sains itself has become appear from the idea of metaphysical which examined by empirical realities (Walker, 2.
Therefore.
Islamic education can be appeared as a slices of physical reality and universal objective metaphysics.

The emergence of science -read the science of Islamic education- from the womb of revelation or metaphysics is a form of absoluteness.
Popper himself strongly believes in the construction of science that emerges from the dimension of metaphysics, but with an emphasis on mindfulness.

Therefore.
Islamic education needs to be parsed from the physical ontological framework to metaphysics.
Because of this dimension opens meaning to be seen, so that the physical reality .
he fact behind the fac.
is a metaphysical normative locus on every construction of the theory of Islamic education.
The theory of Islamic education does not have to be built from the fact of materialistic-empirical reality -but reality in this context must be falsifiable (Popper, 1.
, but also from a metaphysical-intuitive framework.
The implication of this attitude.
Islamic education philosophy (Filsafat Pendidikan Isla.
will emerge as a critical reflection on the construction of theories, concepts, or propositions.
and as a dissection of mixing psychological and epistemological problems in Islamic education.
Likewise in Islamic education (Ilmu Pendidikan Isla.
, the theories that arise based on the critical aspects of rationality .
as an alternative solution to educational problems can be tested through empirical experience while remaining in the normative anchor of the Qur'an and the Hadith.
It is not an exaggeration if the two courses will be more meaningful to build a non-dichotomic Islamic education system that unites between science and non-science through a prophetic-based line of demarcation.
Prophetic Criticism: Breaking the Progressive Islamic Education Although the concept of falsification developed by Karl R.
Popper was able to be a counterweight to the outbreak of the logic of empiricism .
, but this concept tends to perceive the same between the humanities social sciences with natural sciences.
The scientific work that is the basis of the thought of the concept of falsification is an objective and rational framework.
like positivistic logic.
Therefore, this method of scientific work is not fully applicable in the context of Islamic education theories.
There are several underlying reasons, including.
First.
Islamic education theory, concepts, or propositions are not always objective to say as science.
One example.
Islamic ritual doctrines such as prayer, fasting, or hajj which have axiological subjective nuances in each "subject".
Finally, the values in it accumulate towards absolute objective truths.
this is actually acknowledged by Popper .
through the statement "only in our subjective experience, in our subjective faith, can we be" absolutely certainAy.
And secondly, the doctrinal framework that exists in Islamic education does not all have a scientific rational dimension.
Islamic education tends to contain irrational dimensions if it is included in the standards of science, as prayers have "upside down" and relatively irrational movements.
or Hajj which has certain rituals that are also irrational.
These characteristics show that Islamic education is a complete set of educational Therefore, scientific epistemological thinking that needs to be designed is the framework of the education system that is able to contain the logic-verification logic, as well as the intuition-revelation logic .

So the epistemology is one that has a rational-critical, empirical, intuitive, and prophetic .
llAhiyya.
the author is termed Critical-Prophetic.
This framework provides a wide space for optimizing the role of ratios and senses and intuition to critically analyze the dynamics of humanity, experience, and prophetic texts.
On the one hand, the prophetic dimension also directs educational theories integrated with religious values, so that they always give birth to the rhythms of humanity's benefit in the world and the hereafter.
Based on this framework, ratios, senses and intuition are better understood as revelations -transcendental dimensions- and the universe -profanistic dimensions- for the life of the subject of education.
The implication, between revelation and the universe will be more meaningful and functional for Islamic education to construct theories, concepts or propositions in itself.
Islamic education will not emerge from the womb of mere revelation which releases the profanistic side as an anchor or the imperative mode of prophetic value.

Umiarso but it emerged and stood as the vanguard of humanization, liberation, and transcendence in the midst of society.
The manifestation of these values in Islamic education can take the form of a humanist (M.

, pluralist (Nuryatno, 2011, 2.
, and egalitarian Islamic education paradigm -gender-based (Solichin, 2.

Islamic education needs to have a critical-analytical attitude towards empirical reality through a framework of guided verifications -reading on prophetic values .

Thus, the workflow of prophetic criticism will schematically appear as shown in Figure 1.
P-1
IPV
P-2
Figure 1: Workflow of Prophetic Criticism Indeed, the workflow is simply not different from the falsification workflow developed by Karl R.
Popper.
The workflow starts from P-1 which is the initial problem that raises the Solution Tentation (TS), namely theory, concept, or proposition proposed as a trial In this domain there is an effort to Error Elemination (EE) that evaluates the theory, concept, or proposition with the aim of analyzing critically, finding "records" and discarding them.
This effort is a form of test "error" theory, concept, or proposition, so that he is able to bring up P-2 .
ew theor.
due to the existence of a critical evaluation of the tentative solution to the initial problem (Popper, 1.
The difference lies in the Error Elimination (EE) which needs to be refined through Integration of Prophetic Value (IPV) So, theories, concepts, or propositions are not only sought for "errors" or "errors" to be eliminated but also unite them with the spirit of prophetic ethics.
This value can be realized as a reinforcer, inspirational source, or even become an entity that is also tested the level of "truth" following the theory.
On the other hand, this value can be realized in the form of axiological spirit that guides and directs theories, concepts, or propositions to have a definite purpose, namely for the benefit of humanity.
The implication is that the notion of Islamism will not be strengthened, as research has stated that it is currently expanding in several Islamic Religious Colleges (PTKI: Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Isla.
(Wildan, 2.
Clearly, what is said to be the theory of Islamic education in this context is a "construction of paradigmatic thinking" which is tested for its application to empirical reality and needs to be assessed as the result of its suitability.
Therefore, the theories of Islamic education originating from the Qur'an and the Hadith are not necessarily in absolute positions.
The results of the interpretations of the texts of the Qur'an and the Hadith are in a relative position -non-Islamic reading- which needs to be tested for its validity through a falsification If the results of this test show there are "records", then the theory can be said to "need improvement" or not valid.
Conversely, if the theory test does not show there is a "record", then it reinforces itself as a theory.
Due to its tentative nature, it can be said that theory is actually a form of effort to solve certain problems which are always faced with critical analysis for corrected construction with the aim of finding "records".
This domain also explains that the normative texts of revelation .
he Qur'an and the Hadit.
remain in the absolute dimension and are illAhiyyah, while the results of the interpretation of the text are relative and non-illahiyah.
Similarly, metaphysics that tends to be intuitive-subjective in Islamic education needs to be placed into objective knowledge.
And intuition in one of the researches is concluded to have very strong relevance to Islamic education, especially if viewed from the aspect of the Vol.

research, intuition is one of the essential parts of the source of knowledge, although it is subjective.
By encouraging intuition to be an objective construct, intuition can be rationally argued to be faced with critical analysis.
That is, the theory that emerges from the womb of intuition remains in a framework that can be tested, not a theory building that only pushes on subjective intuition.
Clearly, intuition -subjectivity- can be seen as a subjective theory -seeing knowledge as a disposition .
pecial belie.
that is related to other belief entities (Popper, 1.
In contrast, the objectivity of the theory is based on intersubjective testability, so that scientific theory cannot be absolutely justified and can only be tested for its validity.
Therefore, the concept of objectivity of Islamic education theory is intersubjective testability that is generalized as the idea of critical rational control which is balanced with critical discussion.
Here everyone can criticize, because it is to form scientific objectivity.
Thus, to realize this objectivity does not lie in trust but at the critical choice to find a good theory.
At that level.
Karl R.
Popper proposed the idea of alternation about the world of objective knowledge .
orld thre.
to enrich the picture of the world resulting in argumentative and critical imaginative theories.
The most important fact in this context is that there is a demarcation line that distinguishes asymmetrically between science and pseudoscience, so it is clearly an area that can be tested with a metaphysical dimension -which cannot be refuted.
ItAos a common thing, if the world of three contains an attitude of rejection of monism which implies dualistic thinking that distinguishes between body-souls.
Islamic education with the basis of prophetic criticism has an integrative non-partialistic view of the material and immaterial dimensions.
or between the profane .
and transcendental .
If Karl R.
Popper views the third world as an objective world with the anatomy of logical contents of the process of subjective thought, world theory, argumentation and criticism seen from and by himself, prophetic criticism is a logical-supra logical content of subjective-objective thinking, the world of supra theory, critical argumentation with a rationalintuitive foundation from one's own view and from outside oneself.
CONCLUSION
Islamic education is viewed from the falsification perspective by Karl R.
Popper has a very complex segment, caused by extensive ontological, epistemological, and a wide axiological Although the thought of Popper's scholarly work tends to equate between the theories, concepts, or propositions of the social sciences-humanities with the natural sciences, epistemologically Islamic education is able to be acknowledged like natural sciences.
In fact.
Islamic education also transcends the scientific workings of the natural sciences, the cause between logical-rational and irrational, physical and metaphysical dimensions, or profane and transcendental cannot be separated into some parts.
This is what guides the existence of a comprehensive epistemological study to unravel the construction of Islamic education theory, concepts, or propositions so that the objectivity of educational theory is not as objective as scientific which was criticized by Karl R.
Popper.
Thomas S.
Kuhn.
Richard Rorty, or Paul Feyerabend.
Therefore, in studying Islamic education, a scientific work system that covers all aspects which in this context is called prophetic criticism is needed.
