Islamic education has not been constructively structured and developed to be in the logic of international interest and transnational emblem. Also, the system of Islamic education is increasingly losing its quality, efficacy, and functionality in many societies as its curriculum addresses lesser contemporary issues. The curriculum largely prepares its scholars for mere religious activities which in turn downgrades Islamic scholars to just informal participators rather than active formal and informal contributors in society. Islamic educational syllabus trivializes its scholars in a non-religious environment. A functional educational curriculum is scholarly and pedagogically described as that which concentrates and emphasizes technological growth, self-employment, self-reliance, job satisfaction, employment skills, life skills, exposure opportunities, and lifelong awareness. Islamic curriculum is supposed to effectively respond to contemporary changes and challenges, such as terrorism-related issues. It is, therefore, crucial to ensure that the methodology of Islamic education becomes relevant to modernity and globalization. As such, this paper aims to explore the challenges of Islamic education in the era of globalization and suggest a holistic solution. It was envisaged that the outcomes of this paper could contribute to the development of Islamic education, particularly its curriculum, in contemporary society.
