Abstract
The present study focuses on Neo-mu'tazila theories with an emphasis on the thoughts of Mohammad Abed Al-Jaberi and its implications in religious education.
The Neo-Mu'tazila movement, especially Abed al-Jaberi, by passing through the
traditional religious discourse and presenting a new and critical reading of religion,
tried to reconstruct the tradition of the Islamic past in order to build its own modern
world and to adapt religion to the new era. By examining Jaberi's thoughts in relation to Islamic thought and education, a new plan can be established in religious education.
originality, humanity and modernity are among the most important intellectual
components of Jaberi in the field of religious education, which has distinguished him
from other Neo-Mutzalis. Basics derived from Jaberi's opinions and thoughts at both extra-religious and intrareligious levels can open the way for the challenges of religious education in the new era. The present study with a descriptive-analytical method aims to extract the implications of religious education by analyzing the opinions and thoughts of Jaberi. The results proved that the religious education emphasized by Jaberi are: emphasis on religious rationality, ethics-oriented, critical thinking, free thinking, skepticism, justice-oriented, goal-oriented religious text, Muslim life in the modern era, use of rational-human content, idealistic-critical content and finally emphasis on independent and non-ideological educational system in religious education.
