There is Islam from both the West and the East (Baghdad and Andalusi. , as well as from India. China. Japan, the West, and the Latin world, as well as Christianity. In Islam, apart from Baghdad. Andalusia is a territory for contributing to the development of Western thought and civilization. The transmission scientific endeavours led to the birth of Aufklarung and enlightenment for the West. Genealogically, the birth of Andalusia cannot be separated from that which has several periodizations. From Badri Yatim's Abdurrahman An-Nashir appearance of Muluk Thawaif. Fourth, from Muluk Thawaif Murabithun dynasty. Fifth, the reign of the Murabithun up to the Muwahidun dynasty. Sixth, under the rule of Bani Ahmar until the fall of the Ummayyah in Andalusia1. After the collapse of Roman and Visighotic rule, under Islamic rule, the current Islamic civilization in Andalusia became a mecca for the West. Culture itself is a manifestation and reflection of the deep spirit of society in the form of religion, art, morals and While civilization emphasizes more on technological, economic, political, perspective.

Contribution to Islamic Education Education in Islam cannot be separated from the terms tarbiyah, ta'lim, tadris, ta'dib, etc. In other words, education is the transfer of knowledge and values and the transmission of civilization from one generation to the next in all aspects.

When it is related to highest science and realizes that everything Islamic education, at least Hayy Ibnu in the universe has a Creator or Fa'il. Yaqdzan's contribution to Islamic education, including . the development of knowledge, . the concept of knowledge, and . More detail is as follows: the development of knowledge, as described by Ibn Thufail. The first phase begins when Hayy bin Yaqdzan is stranded on Wak-Wak Island and raised by a mother deer. As an infant, it moves through the sensory-oral stage, where it is highly dependent on its He also begins to imitate his mother's voice, sorts food, and learns to identify his differences with other creatures. Meanwhile, in the second phase, when he was seven years old, he realized the difference between himself and other This was followed up by trying to cover up its shortcomings by using objects from the outside. As for the third phase, between the ages of 14-21 years, he is free from direct perception and begins to carry bodies and contemplates that the celestial objects are part of the abundance of the stage, he begins to perceive the Fa'il Dzat. At least there are several stages of attention and observation to the celestial Perfect Dzat with all its majesty. In the sixth Development of Knowledge In the fifth stage, he turns his experiments by dissecting animals that are alive and dead to find the jauhar as the mover of the body. At the age of 21-28 years, he enters the fourth stage in his life where he begins to explore all objects that In the Sixth stage, he realizes himself as more perfect than any other being. To reach the stage of musyahadah, he cannot be animals by fulfilling physical needs, acts of celestial bodies and obligatory existence by In the seventh stage, he finds Al-Haq, musyahadah by abandoning material aspects and is at the degree of wusul. Whereas in the eighth stage, the knowledge and spiritual experience are by the substance of the values of religious teachings. Even so, the external perspective and takwil become a reality that cannot be separated from the dimensions of human thought. Ibn Thufail's thoughts in Hayy are closely related to the development of Piaget's cognitive aspects, which include the maturity of the nervous system, experience, social interaction, and equilibrium . elf-regulation and contro. Nonetheless. Hayy offers israqi knowledge where the experimental and contemplative aspects, through the senses and ratios, can Volume Vi. Nomor 1. Januari 2023. AL-WIJDyAN lead to the inner aspect and to haqiqatul ula. child who grew up outside of society was In addition. Ibn Tufail described that instinctively armed with a pure mind and independently, a person's 'aql would go soul and could find the truth and solve his through the steps of dhikr, nadzar, 'ilm, fikr. With his fa'al mind, he can muhasabah, and ijtihad which ultimately lead proceed to the state of haqiqatul 'ulya, where to wisdom 31. the mind is dynamic, active, and contains divine elements which ultimately lead to Knowledge Concept ittisalu billah. The urgency of experimentation in understanding oneself and the universe is always emphasized in Hayy's novels. Doubt and scepticism become a stimulus for rational development to reach a tested truth, ultimately leading to God's truth. Roman Hayy also contributed to the birth of scientific knowledge through scientific, philosophical and religious steps. In this novel, two theories of knowledge are First, material knowledge where empirical testing and analogies to the objects of the universe. Second, metaphysical This knowledge cannot be obtained through sense but emphasizes the intuitive aspect. On the other hand, three typologies of knowledge methods were also The first method is based on ratios . omparative, analysis and deductio. , and the second is knowledge based on senses . bservation, observation and researc. Third, knowledge based on intuition . he meaning of the essence and wisdom of religious teaching. Hayy ibn Yadzhan as a Ibnu Thufail tries to convey that substantially, there is no contradiction between philosophy and religion. The synergy of experimentation, observation, contemplation and one's musyahadah will reach the metaphysical stage. He also criticizes that religious teachings originating understood meaningfully, not just as an external symbol. For Islamic education, the normative values built by the text . bsolute philosophical framework and experimental In other words, rationality and Islamic Even so, in certain areas in the study related to transcendent matters, the metaphysical aspect becomes a fundamental thing to do, considering that the realm of reason and the senses cannot reach this. Islamic education must be able to synergize religious values as a manifestation of the caliph and 'abd. Volume Vi. Nomor 1. Januari 2023.

Ay Tadarus :Jurnal Surabaya, 2016, 50Ae67. In this novel. Ibnu Thuffail describes that knowledge can be obtained through the senses, reason and inner reasoning through kasyaf, deliberation and scholarship. He also describes human development from the oral age to the stage of wisdom. There are at least three substantive aspects of Hayy's novel contribution to Islamic education. First, in terms of cognitive development. Roman Hayy describes the development process from sensory, imitative, exploratory, philosophical, contemplative and mystical. Second is the concept of knowledge, where knowledge can be obtained through sense, reason and intuition. Third, in terms of religiosity, all the good elements in the form of beliefs, rituals, religious knowledge, and religious experience will always lead to the true essence, namely Allah Ta'ala.
