The Significance of Islamic Education among Students with Special Educational Needs Students (SENS) in Malaysia: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR)

Education is the main pulse that reflects a country, including Malaysia.The importance of education serves as the primary foundation for Malaysia, in line with 192 other world leaders who have adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at the United Nations General Assembly.This global commitment towards more sustainable, resilient, and inclusive development is based on 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets.Therefore, to meet this recommendation, extensive research on the significance of Islamic education among SENS should be emphasized, and more in-depth study is required.This qualitative study, based on a systematic literature review of 21 articles, is expected to assist researchers in Malaysia in continuing studies focused on SENS, particularly in examining the importance of Islamic education among SENS.The significance of deepening the understanding of Islam itself can positively impact the lives of SENS, enabling them to know Islam more profoundly and educate themselves to become quality individuals with knowledge in their lives.Overall, this study shows that three themes regarding the significance of Islamic Education Among Special Needs Students (SENS) in Malaysia can be classified.The themes are 1) Significance to Teacher, 2) Significance to Country, and 3) Significance to Students.Therefore, education should not only focus on typical students, but greater emphasis should also be given to Special Educational Needs Students (SENS).Furthermore, Islamic Education should emphasize instilling pure Islamic values among SENS so that they always stay on the right path.
