Description: The chapter will begin with Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s reflections on the integration between religion and life that he discerned in Islam, then to explore this notion in relation to the consequential integral link to be found between Islamic education and religious education. It will explore Islamic scholarship old and new in making the point that all Islamic education is religious education in the important sense that its ultimate goal is the pupil’s holistic well-being and development, intellectual, moral, and spiritual. The chapter will then address an urgent task for contemporary Islamic religious education to return to its original charter of holistic well-being by countering the ease with which Jihadist pedagogy has been able to draw young people to its counter-wellbeing agenda and so tarnish Islam’s reputation.
