EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND SPIRITUAL EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY IN ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Discussions on Islamic education are interesting to be studied. Muslim thinkers pour out their
thoughts for the improvement of Islamic education. They are Fazlur Rahman Malik, Muhammad
Iqbal and Azyumardi Azra. The adoption of thought of multiple intelligence development in
Turkey turned out to have drawbacks. Fazlurahman criticized the traditionalism in Islam
education. Al-Qur'an is righteously as a source of inspiration, Al-Hadith as explanatory, and
Prophet Muhammad as a model in Islamic education. The substance of the development of Islamic
education is not just an intellectual intelligence but also an emotional and spiritual intelligence,
since a person's intellect does not guarantee the correctness and ethical guidance in achieving
prosperity and tranquility of life. Automatically, the context of learning in Islam must be followed
by understanding educational psychology in Islam. Education teaches about moral and ethics of
Islam as the provision of an individual's social skills towards the success of the world and the
hereafter
