This article examines the relevance of the objectives of Islamic education as derived from the Qur’an and Hadith to the demands of modern education. Using a qualitative library research approach, the study analyzes primary Islamic sources, selected interpretations, and recent Indonesian scholarly literature on Islamic education, character formation, curriculum development, and digital-era learning. The analysis indicates that the objectives of Islamic education are holistic: developing faith and worship, noble character, intellectual capacity, social responsibility, and the human role as khalifah on earth. These objectives remain relevant to modern education because contemporary learning increasingly requires not only cognitive competence but also ethical judgment, collaboration, responsibility, critical thinking, digital literacy, and balanced personal development. The relevance is not achieved by reproducing classical educational forms unchanged, but by translating enduring Islamic values into contextual learning objectives, curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, and school culture. The study concludes that Qur’anic and Prophetic educational objectives can function as an ethical and spiritual foundation for modern education when integrated with contemporary knowledge, technology, and learner-centered approaches.
