Abstract

The aim of this research is idenify comprehensive view of Al-Taher bin Ashour’s educational reforms, both theoretical and practical. This is an analytical-logical research done by content analysis method. the paper critiques reductionist approaches to this book by showing that Ibn Ashour’s educational reforms are part and parcel of his larger reformist project delineated in Maqasid Al-Sharia Al-Islamiah (The Objectives of Islamic Sharia) and Usul Al-Nitham Al-Ijtimai fi Al-Islam (The Foundations of the Social System in Islam). This paper claims that Ibn Ashour had pioneering reformist views in education relative to the era he had inhabited. His family connections made the political environment conducive to his reforms, and he made use of the varied and multifarious knowledge he had accumulated, which made him more than a mere individual and more of a powerful force in the Tunisian and Arab-Islamic reformist process.
