DESCRIPTION:This paper investigates the philosophical tensions between sec
 ular-liberalism and Islam\, and reviews Islamic conceptualisations of know
 ledge\, personhood and education\, in order to conceptualise shakhsiyah Is
 lamiyah as an authentic and credible form of personal agency within an Isl
 amic worldview. It begins by examining the liberal critique of Islamic edu
 cation and explores notions of authority and autonomy in Islamic education
 al theory. It proposes that these tensions exist to varying degrees in all
  educational practice. Some theoretical work to develop an Islamic underst
 anding of personal autonomy as selfhood is presented and translated into a
  concept of shakhsiyah Islamiyah. Finally\, the possibility of understandi
 ng shakhsiyah Islamiyah as a dialogical Muslim-self is explored.
