An Introduction to the Foundations and Principles of the Political Education

Political education has found a good place in the realm of humanities. We witness a great deal of change in humanities specifically in political education. Thus Scholars and researchers have delved into the conceptual dissection of political education. They independently examine the principles and foundations. However, examining its foundation and principles without focusing on its roots in Islamic thought, we will not get our desired outcome. This paper at hand has examined the topic within a religious understanding of the topic. The three main topics discussed are: epistemology, ontology, anthropology, which provide for theoretical discussion in political education. Moreover, political education depends on a series of essential principles including: monotheism, servitude, following jurisprudence, sense of responsibility, faithfulness to Islamic political system. These principles lit the path to a political understanding.
