I.  Introduction

        Islamic education is the process and system of learning based on tauheed (oneness of Allah).  This process operates and has been developed with the emergence of postmodernism in the Philippine  secular state.  

       The Muslim Filipino citizens, in particular, have to observe the Philippine laws and guidelines on education which is secular in nature and has been considered  as an offshoot of Western culture that the modern viewpoint of the world has arisen. They are given the Autonomous Region  in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) with some degree of “Islamic education.” The enactment of laws and orders intended for the improvement of their education manifests the “unsecularization” in Philippine educational system for the  Muslim Filipinos.
