The Concept of Practical Knowledge, Scientific Charity Perspective of K. H. Ahmad Dahlan in Islamic Education

Islamic education has a strategic role in forming a generation that not only has a deep scientific understanding but is also able to practice this knowledge in daily life. The concepts of practical science and scientific charity are an important foundation in the approach to Islamic education, where the knowledge gained must be put into practice, and every charity must be based on correct knowledge. This research aims to explore the relevance of the concepts of practical science and scientific charity in the context of contemporary Islamic education challenges. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, this study examines the primary sources of Djasman Al-Kindi's book, and relates it to modern issues such as globalization, technological development, and socio-cultural change. The results of the study show that the integration of practical science and scientific charity in the Islamic education system makes a significant contribution in forming individuals with character, critical, and responsible character. This approach also encourages the simultaneous strengthening of moral, spiritual, and intellectual values. In the contemporary context, the application of this concept requires innovation in teaching methods, curriculum development, and the use of information technology without abandoning the basic principles of Islam. This study recommends an Islamic education model that is adaptive to the changing times but still rooted in Islamic values. Thus, practical science and scientific charity are the solution to the challenges of modern education as well as a means to realize a spiritually and intellectually balanced society.
