The advancement of science, digital technology, and global social dynamics has brought significant changes to the field of education, including Islamic education. These developments necessitate a renewal of educational paradigms to ensure that Islamic education remains relevant and capable of responding to the challenges of modern education without losing its normative values. This article aims to analyze the concept of reconstructing Islamic educational thought and its relevance in addressing contemporary educational demands, particularly in relation to curriculum reform, learning methodologies, and teacher professionalism. This study employs a qualitative approach using a library research method by examining the works of classical and contemporary Islamic scholars, academic books, scholarly journals, and relevant studies in the field of Islamic education. Data analysis is conducted through a descriptive-analytical method, focusing on the epistemological, philosophical, and pedagogical dimensions of reconstructing Islamic thought. The findings indicate that the reconstruction of Islamic educational thought represents a strategic effort to integrate Islamic spiritual values with the demands of twenty-first-century competencies. This reconstruction contributes to the development of adaptive curricula, the implementation of contextual and technology-based learning methods, and the enhancement of teacher professionalism as agents of educational transformation. Therefore, reconstructing Islamic educational thought strengthens the relevance, quality, and orientation of Islamic education in responding to the challenges of modern education
