Abstract
This study examines the intersection of faith-based spirituality, feminism, and sustainable education through the role of mothers as curriculum designers in Islamic home education. Drawing insights from classical Islamic scholars such as Al-Ghazali, Ibn Khaldun, and Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas, the home is portrayed as the first institution for moral and intellectual cultivation. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, this paper systematically analyzes studies published between 2000 and 2025 to explore how mothers integrate ethics, spirituality, and sustainability into home-based learning. The synthesis reveals recurring themes of moral formation, feminine agency, and ecological awareness, showing that Islamic home education nurtures holistic human development beyond formal schooling. By bridging classical Islamic epistemology with modern educational research, this study introduces a new interpretive concept-^Islamic Home Education.^ It argues that home education rooted in faith-based spirituality represents a transformative model of lifelong learning, where the home becomes the seedbed of a value-driven and sustainable civilization.
