About

Dr. Saifullah Idris is a leading scholar whose work bridges Islamic education and humanistic philosophy, with a particular focus on how educational systems can nurture fully realized human beings. His most cited work, "REALITAS KONSEP PENDIDIKAN HUMANISME DALAM KONTEKS PENDIDIKAN ISLAM" (2017), has garnered 110 citations, establishing him as a key voice in rethinking Islamic pedagogy. In this foundational paper, Idris maps the reality of humanism within Islamic education, arguing that education’s ultimate purpose is to help individuals achieve their full humanity—a vision that integrates spiritual, moral, and intellectual development. His research critically examines how traditional Islamic educational frameworks can be revitalized to foster critical thinking, empathy, and social responsibility, rather than mere rote learning. By situating humanistic values within an Islamic context, Idris offers a compelling model for educators seeking to balance faith-based teachings with universal principles of human dignity. His work has influenced curriculum designers and policy makers across Southeast Asia, and his ongoing scholarship continues to explore the intersection of theology, ethics, and pedagogy. For students and researchers, Idris’s contributions provide a vital roadmap for creating educational environments that honor both cultural heritage and human potential.
