Abstract

This article explores the ideas of Eastern thinkers on the influence of Islam on human perfection. The study examines how Islamic teachings contribute to moral, spiritual, and intellectual development, emphasizing the holistic approach to personal growth. Using a qualitative research design, classical and modern scholarly sources, including the works of Al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, and Al-Ghazali, were analyzed to identify key principles connecting religion and self-improvement. The findings reveal that Eastern thinkers consider the integration of faith, ethics, and knowledge essential for achieving a balanced and morally responsible personality. This research provides insights into the relevance of Islamic philosophical thought in modern education and personal development.
