The reality (Das sein) is that Islamic education is still far from expected. Whereas das sollen or the ideal one is the condition that should be achieved. This main title is still broad but has a specific character. However to make it more specific and focused, the case should be mentioned in the sub-title for example: Islamic education and the Development of Islamic Preaching in Indonesia (Learning or Tracing the teachings Method in Islamic Education from the manuscript of Tahzibul Akhlak of Ibn Miskawayh).
