Abstract
Modern higher education institutions are fast becoming corporate like organizations largely responding to the training needs of a globalized market economy. The chapter argues that to revive the humane and inclusive civic nature of education, compassion needs to become a central feature of a higher education system that is capable of facilitating human flourishing and serving public good. The compassionate character of education in Islam and its impact on the emergence of classical Muslim higher education institutions (madrassas) and wider Muslim civilization are discussed. The chapter demonstrates how within Muslim heritage of education, compassion is further qualified with the deeper ethical/spiritual values of care/responsibility and the exercise of critical/ reflective thinking which enable the educational process to become a compassionate transformation of human condition. The last section of the chapter considers the implications of the discussion for inspiring a new dialogue and cooperation between Islamic and Western higher education institutions in reasserting compassion as a central educational value to guide modern university education.
