Holistic Education in Buya Hamka's Thought: Integration of Reason, Faith, and Deeds in Modern Life

Abstract

This study aims to analyze Buya Hamka's thoughts on holistic education, which emphasizes the integration of reason, faith, and good deeds, and their relevance in modern life. In the context of globalization and technological advances that often give rise to moral and spiritual crises, Hamka's ideas present an educational alternative that is not only oriented towards intellectual aspects, but also towards the formation of character and human spirituality as a whole. This study uses a qualitative approach with library research. Data were obtained from Hamka's main works such as Lembaga Budi, Tafsir Al-Azhar, and Falsafah Hidup, as well as secondary literature discussing Islamic educational thought and a holistic approach. Data analysis was conducted using the content analysis method through the processes of reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that Hamka's holistic education emphasizes a balance between intellectual abilities, spiritual orientation, and concrete actions in everyday life. Education that integrates reason, faith, and good deeds can shape students who are not only academically intelligent but also possess moral integrity, social responsibility, and a strong humanitarian orientation. This approach is relevant in addressing the challenges of modern education, while also preparing a generation capable of facing the complexities of life with wisdom, ethics, and concern for others.
