Abstract

Through a historical-fundamental research and following an analytical-descriptive research method and by referring directly to Ekhvan al-Safa treatises, in this article it is tried to infer and propose some of educational implications attributed to Ekhvan al-Safa. By the present article, it would be well clear that they paid a lot of attention to education. Considering the educational implications entered into their treatises, some of their educational implications such as nature, possibility, necessity, objectives, principles, factors, phases, methods and so on can be understood and thereby, it should be confirmed that how unfair are some uninformed and partial western scholars reductionistic remarks toward education in Islam.
