Synopsis: Education occupies a central position in Islamic thought, where the pursuit of knowledge (‘ilm) is regarded as both a spiritual obligation and a foundation for human development. In Islamic economics, education is not merely an instrument for labor market productivity but a comprehensive means of nurturing ethical, intellectual, and social well-being. The protection and advancement of knowledge align directly with the objectives of maqasid al-shariah, particularly the preservation of intellect (hifz al-‘aql) and the promotion of justice and social welfare. In this context, ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education—articulated globally through Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4)—resonates deeply with Islamic economic principles.
