In al-Farabi’s philosophical system, education is one of the most important social
phenomena. Indeed, in al-Farabi’s view, the whole activity of education can be
briefed up as the acquisition of values, knowledge and practical skills in a particular
period and culture. The aim of education is to guide the individual towards perfection
because the human being was created for this purpose.
In al-Farabi’s view, education is the combination of learning with practical action.
If the speculative sciences are learned without applying them, this wisdom is
defective (Al-Farabi, 1983, p. 89).

Besides so many aims of education, one is to prepare the political leaders.
The social life integrates the individual, the family and the city. The politicians should
not restrict their work to the organization and management of cities. They should
encourage people to help one another in dispensing good things and over rooting evils.
They must use their political skills to protect the virtues and praiseworthy activities.
