Ta'lim

Ta'lim refers to types ofinstruction whose mentalactivities and disciplines result in

the gaining of knowledge the

learner did not previouslypossess (Bin Omar, 1993). Itcould also be defined as theprocess of transmitting or

imparting knowledge to a personthat will help in training his or

her mind and in developingreasoning powers.

Thus, ta'lim is central to theprocess of instilling knowledge in

such a way that both the giver(teacher) and recipient (student,

or learner) add meaning andvalue, not only to their ownlives, but to the total enrichmentof their community, society, and

to all of human existence

Tadib

Ta'dib suggests the social dimensions of aperson's development, being a process bywhich the most desirable attributes ofmind and soul -- in terms of properbehaviour and ethical conduct -- areacquired (Bin Omar, 1993). This is therationale of Islamic education thatemerged historically in the teachingsystems developed through mosques andmadaris.

Al-Attas (1985) describes adab aseducation that focuses at the highest levelon the development of the whole humanbeing. It involves discipline of the mindand spirit in order to attain recognitionand acknowledgement of each individual'sproper place, appropriate to their physical,intellectual and spiritual capacity andpotential.

Education can never be separated from

adab in its most profound sense, becauseadab encompasses the spiritual level ofhuman awareness. As Al-Attas (1979)suggests, an emphasis on adab, whichincludes action (amal) in the educationalprocess ensures that ilm (knowledge) isbeing put to good use in society.

Tarbiyyah

Bin Omar (1993) suggests,tarbiyah refers to education in itsbroadest sense, meaning the

development of the human

personality and the nurturingand rearing aspects ofeducation, especially as appliedto the young.

Tarbiyah is seen as distinct fromta'lim in that the latter has a

closer semantic relationship toilm - knowledge that is generallyunderstood to be the result offormal education. For Nasr

(1987), tarbiyah is the highestlevel of education in that it

embraces the development andeducation of the whole
