EPISTEMOLOGY OF SUCCESS AND FAILURE: A QUALITATIVE EXPLORATION IN CONTEXT OF ISLAMIC PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

Abstract

This research aims to explore the epistemology of failure and success within the context of Islamic philosophy of education through a qualitative approach. By delving into the philosophical foundations of Islamic education, this study seeks to understand how failure and success are perceived, understood, and valued in the Islamic educational framework. Using carefully selected YouTube videos, the study uses a qualitative content analysis research method with the key terms "success, failure, real success, real failure, successful, and unsuccessful." In order to determine the concept of true success and failure from an Islamic perspective, nearly ten video clips were purposefully chosen and transcribed from Urdu into English. The true meaning of success in Islam has nothing to do with material possessions, good health, notoriety, respect, or large homes. Failure, on the other hand, is defined as being untrue, dishonest, impatient, and not adhering to the core principles of the faith, which results in an eternity in Hell. The findings of this study will contribute to a deeper understanding of the epistemological aspects surrounding failure and success in Islamic education.
