ABSTRACT
This research aims to provide a fundamental, holistic, and comprehensive understanding of Spiritual Quotient (SQ) as a basis for developing Islamic education rooted in the worldview paradigm, as interpreted through Sayyid Qutb's Fi Zhilalil Qur’an. Conducted as a qualitative descriptive library study, the research examines Qutb's thoughts on SQ, focusing on primary sources, including the six-volume Fi Zhilalil Qur’an and Ma’alim fi Ath-Thariq. A historical and philosophical approach guides the study, with data collected using documentary techniques and analysed through content analysis, emphasising descriptions, consequences, and implications. The findings highlight that SQ, as conceptualised in Qutb's tafsir, encompasses the spirit of rahmatan lil ‘alamin (mercy to all creation), universality, theological purity (qauliyah), and a balance between theological and ecological values (qouliyah and kauniyah). SQ represents an internal intuitive capability that activates theological values, fostering environmental and humanistic principles through harmonious and dialogical relationships within society and the universe. This perspective positions SQ as a critical element in actualising Islamic education's humanistic and ecological objectives.
