One of the most important words that has always been challenged by many writers in terms of lexical and conceptual is the word "education". Some believe that this word has been used in the sense of physical growth and others have used it in the sense of spiritual perfection. The "third group" does not consider the current concept of education in the education system to be correct. Using a descriptive-deskresearch method and providing a precise meaning of the word education, this paper seeks to examine the concept and usage of the word education in terms of lexical, interpretive, traditional, historical, Quranic and educational sciences to respond to the challenges and opposing views in this respect. The findings show that education is used in both physical and spiritual meanings and cannot be limited to the concept of physical one. It should also be notes that the current usage of this word in education system, which means physical growth and spiritual perfection, is correct and it is in accordance with its original meaning
