This paper seeks to shed light on the debate of scientists about the nature of knowledge, its character and sources. The Qur'an is a source of epistemology whose truth cannot be doubted within Islamic tradition. Tracing the function and several verses thematically by analyzing them within the framework of philosophical interpretation, the researchers found that the Qur'an very intensely calls for thinking, contemplating, conducting research and, of course, reading. This research aims to discover in depth the epistemology of Islamic education in the Qur'an and its urgency in the development of Islamic education. This research took a qualitative approach that employed document analysis to obtain data. The results of this study are: (1) Western epistemology consists of rationalism and empiricism schools, while Islamic epistemology consists of bayani schools, burhani schools and 'irfani schools; (2) The approach method in Islamic education's epistemology in the Qur'an consists of rational, intuitive, dialogic, comparative, criticism and 'ibrah methods; (3) The urgency of Islamic education's epistemology in the development of education is to reform Islamic education without eliminating Islamic Idealism

This research is motivated by education in most Muslim countries which are still lagging and there is still a dichotomy between Islamic education and secular education. As a result, the Muslim generation has obstacles in contributing to the development of world civilization, which should reflect the Islamic principles of "rahmatan lil 'alamin". This is because Islamic education does not adjust to the progress and competition of the times. The epistemological thought of education by Fethullah Gülen tries to provide a solution to this problem by trying to abolish the dichotomy in education by creating an integrated Islamic education system. The purpose of this study is to find out in depth the epistemology of Islamic education from the perspective of Fethullah Gülen and its implementation of integrated Islamic education. The results of this study are: 1) The essence of the epistemology of Gülen's Islamic education is hikma, i.e. being able to combine useful knowledge accompanied by its practice in life; 2) The source of the epistemology of Islamic education comes from the senses, reason and true reports (news) that come from other people or Allah's messengers; 3) The purpose of Islamic education is to create insan kamil who are able to master religious, social and scientific knowledge and practice them in life in order to create a world full of peace and global progress; 4) The integrated Islamic education model according to Fethullah Gülen is similar to the neo-modernism integration model, that is integrating Islamic tradition with the modernity of civilization.

Globalisation can give positive and negative impacts. The positive impacts of globalisation are to facilitate the entry of news and information. Meanwhile, the negative impacts can’t be avoided like destruction of the values of akhlaq education as a result of the inclusion of bad effects from globalisation which can’t be dammed. To overcome the negative effect, we need countermeasures to prevent it, i.e. education that can reduce the negative impact and provide positive impact. Movies have been used as educational tools for many years. In the movie Assalamualaikum Beijing, there are many values of akhlaq which are very useful for life in society. Those values are such as sincerity, forfeit, struggle, loyalty etc. This type of research is library research which has the descriptive qualitative method. The data analysis which is used in this study is content analysis, i.e.bywatch and learn whole movie, classify the values of akhlaq, codification, describe the data and then make conclus...
