Abstract
This article explores the shared ideas of Muhammad Iqbal and Paulo Freire in formulating a model of Transformative Religious Humanism Education, which emphasizes individual growth from spiritual, intellectual, and social aspects. Through a literature review, this study investigates the parallels in their thought regarding the vital importance of humanization in education, critical consciousness, freedom of thought, and liberation from various forms of oppression both structural and spiritual. The findings of the analysis indicate that integrating the ideas of Iqbal and Freire can provide a holistic, dialogical, and transformative educational paradigm as a solution to the humanitarian and moral crises occurring in the contemporary era. This model affirms that education is not merely a tool for transferring knowledge but also a process of creating well-rounded individuals who can actively contribute to social change.
