This research aims to compare Islamic and Western education systems and explore opportunities for integrating Islamic values into Western curricula. Using a library research method, the study analyzes existing literature, focusing on key educational philosophies, pedagogical methods, and curriculum structures. The findings highlight the strengths of both systems, with Islamic education emphasizing moral, social, and spiritual development, while Western education focuses on critical thinking, creativity, and the acquisition of practical skills. The study suggests that Islamic education can contribute to Western systems by emphasizing values such as social justice, ethical conduct, and spiritual development, ultimately leading to more holistic student growth. The research argues that integrating these Islamic values into Western education can provide students with a well-rounded educational experience that nurtures not only intellectual abilities but also personal character and ethical reasoning. Moreover, the integration of these values could foster interfaith understanding, encourage empathy, and improve social cohesion. The implications of this research are significant for educators and policymakers, suggesting that the development of inclusive, value-driven educational environments combining the best aspects of both educational systems could help prepare students for the challenges of an interconnected world. This study lays the foundation for future research to explore how these values can be practically applied in diverse educational settings, considering cultural contexts, challenges, and the potential impact on student outcomes.
