Abstract
Purpose: One of the intellectual concerns of Muslim sages has 
always been to deal with the philosophy of politics, Shahriari 
religion and the search for a desirable society, and an important part 
of the philosophical works produced by Muslims is devoted to the 
reflection of their philosophical thoughts about society. The first 
philosopher in the Islamic world who raised independent and 
systematic discussions about the ideal society and its components 
and authored several works about it is Farabi. For this reason, he has 
been called the founder of Islamic and political philosophy in the 
Islamic world. The utopia of Farabi is full of educational words. In 
Farabi's opinion, education and training is discussed in the practical 
wisdom section and the subcategory of Madinah politics. The 
purpose of the current research is education and training in Farabi's 
intellectual system.
Materials and methods: The research method is qualitative content 
analysis and inference (practical analogy). This means that based on 
Frankena's inference model, principles have been extracted from the 
juxtaposition of goals and principles, which lead to the adoption of 
educational methods. The analysis community has been a collection 
of books, descriptions and articles about Farabi's philosophy, which 
has been purposefully sampled and studied in depth based on the 
categories of research, and the resulting data has been continuously 
analyzed simultaneously with the collection of information and 
Analysis has been done.
Findings: The results showed that according to Farabi's value 
theory, the most important goals of moral education are: knowledge 
and faith in God, closeness to God, happiness, thinking and 
reflection, rationality and moderation. Farabi considers educated 
people to be the basis for creating a "Utopia" where its inhabitants 
live in complete happiness and prosperity. Under the shadow of 
correct education, people are ready to create a utopia where 
happiness cannot be achieved except through its realization.
Conclusion: In the shadow of correct education, people are ready to 
create a utopia, which is not possible to achieve happiness except 
through its realization. The plan of this kind of education and 
training and, as a result, happiness on the part of Farabi is rooted in 
his philosophical views, and due to its ideality and abstraction, it 
makes its achievement somewhat out of reach.
