Abstract: 

The UNO Declaration of 1977 on education is oriented on two things: education for work and education for life. Education for work is directed at the ability to understand various theories and skills as a provision for managing natural resources. While education for life is directed to moral education, ethics and aesthetics to achieve happiness in living life. However, in practice, there has been dehumanization in which the role of teachers and lecturers as professionals much replaced by technology products that indulge so aspect students' personal guidance is not done in full. In Law No. 14 of 2005 Chapter 1 Article 2, it is stated that teachers and lecturers are a profession. A profession is a work or activity undertaken by a person and becomes a source of income for his life that requires expertise, skill, or skill that meets certain standards of quality or norm, and requires professional education in order to satisfy the service user generated. As a professional person must have academic qualification and teacher competency. However, the profession of teachers and lecturers is not enough with the qualifications and competencies, but must have certain qualifications and competencies so that it can perform the human humanization process which is poured in three main mission of education that is the transformation of knowledge, transformation of culture, and transformation of value. To realize the vision and mission of education as a whole required the figure of teachers and qualified lecturers who actively provide guidance, direction and touch of affection to every student. Their role cannot be replaced with any sophisticated technological product because it has no touch of affection. This is what is missing from modern educational practice. Islam has offered a solution to overcome the fundamental problematics of the modern education system that is about the concept of education to prepare a professional teacher with a touch of humanity with the foundation of Faith and Piety to Allahis most holy and exalted. In the concept of Islam, to prepare professional teachers required three things: selective recruitment of teachers with certain qualifications, the teacher's guidance system should be prepared early and done in a sustainable manner, and the awards of the ummah (the moslem society) to the profession of teachers and lecturers should be clearly demonstrated by placing them on honorable position as the ultimate heir of the prophet. The Islamic-based teacher education system has opened up great horizons and hopes in improving the orientation of modern education so as not to deprive its essence.
