Abstract
Education and the pursuit of knowledge are central to Islam. The aim of education in Islam is to 'produce good Muslims with an understanding of Islamic rules of behaviour and a strong knowledge of and commitment to the faith' (Halstead 2004:520). This paper aims to introduce Islamic education in Indonesia to the non-expert, while also providing some food for thought for Indonesianists and those who are involved in education in Indonesia.
