This study aims to examine planning management in Islamic education with the
perspective of Irfani's epistemology, which emphasizes the spiritual and intuitive
dimension in the educational process. This approach is integrated with the epistemology
of Bayani and Burhani as initiated by Muhammad Abed Al-Jabiri, to create a holistic and
comprehensive education system. This research uses a qualitative method with
documentation-based data collection techniques and in-depth interpretation of Al-Jabiri's
main works, such as Takwin al-'Aql al-'Arabi, as well as other supporting literature. Data
analysis is carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions
using an interpretive and holistic approach. The results of the study show that planning
in Islamic education management based on Irfani's epistemology emphasizes the depth
of spirituality, which is complemented by Bayani's normative foundation and Burhani's
rational analysis. Irfani's approach encourages inner experience, contemplation, and
transcendental relationships with God, which provides a balanced dimension between
the mundane and ukhrawi aspects in educational planning. The discussion also found that
this approach can strengthen the vision and mission of Islamic education in building the
character of kamil people who are integrity, intellectually intelligent, and morally and
spiritually responsible. In conclusion, the integration of these three epistemologies, in
particular with an emphasis on the Irfani perspective, offers a holistic planning
framework, making Islamic education more relevant and adaptive to the challenges of
the times, without neglecting the spiritual values and morality that are its essence.
