The Concept of Holistic Education in Imam Al-Ghazali’s Thought and Its Relevance to Education in the Digital Era

This study aims to critically analyze Imam Al-Ghazali’s concept of holistic education and examine its relevance to contemporary digital education. Using a qualitative library research design, the study analyzes primary texts of Al-Ghazali and relevant international scholarly literature. The research focuses on key concepts including holistic human development, moral–spiritual education, character formation, and ethical digital literacy. Data were collected through systematic textual analysis and interpreted using a normative–philosophical approach. The findings reveal that Al-Ghazali’s holistic education provides a robust ethical and spiritual framework capable of addressing character crises and value disorientation in the digital era. This study contributes conceptually by repositioning Al-Ghazali’s thought as a normative foundation for character-based digital education.
