The aim of this article is to compare examine the general contemporary alternative holistic education theories with the basic outlook of Islamic education. This article will first start with a brief description of alternative education in the West that challenges mainstream education. This alternative holistic education criticizes mainstream education for its excessive focus on materialism, cognitive intelligence, standards, and marks. On the other hand, alternative holistic education theories speak about the improvement of the social, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the individual through such education. When looking at the Islamic educational terms and theories, it is possible to see some similarities with these new holistic contemporary educational theories.
Keywords: Islamic Education, Holistic Education, Alternative Education, Cognitiven Intelligence, Spiritual Intelligence, Social Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence.
