ODGOJNO-OBRAZOVNA MISAO HUSEINA ĐOZE I FETHULLAHA GULENA
EDUCATIONAL THOUGHT OF HUSSEIN DJOZO AND FETHULLAH GULEN

Summary/Abstract: This work which is based upon analysis of educational thought of Fethullah Gulen and Hussein Djozo tries to assess possible correlations between the teachings of these two scholars. Starting hypothesis is that their educational thought contains a large number of similar elements. Because a similar paper has not yet been written, this article has a great importance for the pedagogical science in general, and especially Islamic pedagogy. The work is composed of several chapters, which discuss common aspects of educational thought and Djozo and Gulen. They include: the concept and importance of education, social activism and the importance of uniting theory and practice, the relationship between religious and secular knowledge, personality of students and educators, and the nature of the educational process. Methods which have been used are: analytical method (content analysis, functional analysis, comparative analysis), deductive methods, methods of synthesis and abstraction. Work came to a conclusion that both Gulen and Djozo tried to reintroduce in Islamic Studies or reaffirm a dynamic understanding of the Qur'anic idea of time and history, in the manner of the most classic authorities, creating a brilliant intellectual tradition with which Muslims are listed in order of the most civilized nations in the human history.
