Al-Ghazali membagi ilmu menjadi dua kategori; yaitu fard{ u 'ain dan fard{ u kifa> yah. Menurut al-Attas, al-Ghazali telah memprioritaskan isi pengetahuan daripada methode. Namun, ini tidak berarti bahwa al-Ghazali mengabaikan metode. al-Ghazali berpendapat bahwa kemuliaan ilmu tergantung pada hasil dan keaslian prinsip (watha> qat al-dali> l wa qawwatihi), dan hal itu lebih penting daripada metode. Sebagai contoh, meskipun ilmu kedokteran tidak penting seperti matematika, tetapi kedokteran dianggap lebih penting bagi seorang individu. Demikian juga, ilmu agama yang lebih mulia dari ilmu kedokteran. Jadi, jika kurikulum pendidikan Islam mengacu pada klasifikasi al-Ghazali ilmu pengetahuan, pembelajaran diprioritaskan isin hal konten yang martabat ilmu itu sendiri. Oleh karena itu, muatan kurikulum pendidikan Islam seharusnya dimulai dari yang fard{ u 'ain untuk fard{ u kifa> yah. [Al-Ghazali categorizes science into two categories; namely fard{ u 'ain and fard{ u kifa> yah. According to al-Attas, al-Ghazali has prioritized the content of knowledge rather than method. However, this does not mean that al-Ghazali ignores method. al-Ghazali believes that the glory of science depends on the result and the authenticity of its principles or watha> qat al-dali> l wa qawwatihi, and the firts is more essential than the second. For instance, though medical science is not as precise as mathematics, the prior is more essential for an individual than the later. Likewise, religious science is more noble than [300] Kontemplasi, Volume 04 Nomor 02, Desember 2016 medical science. So, if the curriculum of islamic education refers to Ghazali's classification of science, the prioritized learning isin terms of content that is the dignity of science itself. Therefore, the content of islamic education curriculum shoud be started from fard{ u 'ain to fard} u kifayah..

This article tries to see a phenomenon called Echo Chambers through the perspective of Stella Ting-Toomey's Intercultural Communication theory. This study shows that the development of social media was also followed by the shadow of Echo Chambers. The tendency to isolate oneself and associate with those who understand one another will create separate spaces between one religion and another. As a result, communication which is an effort to eliminate the polarization of the differences between "Us" and "The Others" is precisely the way to form exclusivism in cyberspace. Among the efforts to anticipate the emergence of a gap is to create melting-pot spaces in the real world. Counter narrative also needs to be built to open these exclusive barriers. Muslim scholars sought to introduce the importance of communication in achieving the harmony in community.
