Holistic perspectives on education present many traditional metaphysical ideas that are central to the process of teaching and learning. The primordiality of education, which is rooted in an act of self-reflection, critical thinking, and reflexivity, is one that is receiving renewed attention among educators around the world. Tadabbur is a Qur’anic concept from the Islamic tradition, which means “‘Qur’anic Liturgical Contemplation,” perhaps like the Lectio Divina in Christianity (Divine reading). I present it here as a universal pedagogical tool that allows teachers and students alike to develop a holistic epistemology that goes beyond using rationality and empiricism as the only sources of knowledge to understand the world around them to then ground them in a profound, multiplex ontology (transcendental knowledge) that educates themselves through a primordial prism. Considering this, I make a case in which the Qur’an contains a nuanced pedagogy—rooted in its imperative to critically “contemplate”—that challenges modern, secularized theories of education in their attempt to depict constructs of Islamic educational philosophies as backwards, stuck in uncivilized and irrational pedagogies, allegedly leading to indoctrination. In a post enlightenment world where the human intellect is given primacy to solve all existential problems that continue to perturb the modern mind, many metaphysical questions persist as causes of trepidation. It is hoped that this chapter will encourage teachers and educators alike to confront the challenges of the current classroom marketplaces by utilizing intelligent traditional pedagogical solutions to revive the sacred spaces of the classroom yesterday.
