Reflecting the diversity of the Muslim world, this chapter addresses the fundamental views of Muslim scholars on embodiment and education. From the starting point of the Qurʾān, this chapter explores theories of embodiment inspired by the Islamic functionalism of al-Farabi, Avicenna’s Peripatetic and psychological philosophy of education, Ibn Arabi’s Sufi views on embodiment and knowledge acquisition, al-Ghāzali’s hybrid Sufi-kalāmī approach to embodiment, and embodiment in the Ibn Tufail’s Islamic didactics. Corporeal practices in Islamic education are informed by the view that body is an artefact constructed as a vessel to carry the soul. Such a view has resulted in certain corporeal practices within education based on the premise that perfecting the body upholds the soul, in an endeavour towards attaining sa‘ādah.
