Abstract	This article considers the functionality of the concepts knowledge, time and space, as hegemonic constituents of Islamic tradition and as a body of conflictual interactions with the modern configuration of MENA. I argue that education in the Arab world hinges on the conciliation of these concepts with the practice of modernity, whereas their entanglement and conflictual nature with the latter is to jeopardize progressive educational reforms. Drawing on the work of Wael B. Hallaq and Fatima Mernissi, on gender studies and on postmodern conceptual literature, I suggest that a cavernous understanding of education in the Arab world is needed and new conceptualization of knowledge, time and space is essential to found substantial transformation in the region.
