Abstract

This paper examines the interpretive thinking and hermeneutical approach of Abdullah Ahmed An-Na'im, a contemporary Islamic scholar from Sudan who is widely known as a figure of Islamic legal reform. The discussion focuses on analysing An-Na'im's contextual interpretation method in understanding Sharia law, human rights, and the relationship between religion and the state. Through a critical hermeneutical approach, An-Na'im seeks to reinterpret religious texts so that they remain in line with universal human values and the demands of modernity, without abandoning the normative roots of Islam. This research uses a qualitative method based on a literature study by examining An-Na'im's major works such as Toward an Islamic Reformation (1990) and Islam and the Secular State (2008). The results of the study show that An-Na'im's interpretation is contextual, ethical, and progressive, with an emphasis on moral hermeneutics oriented towards maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah as the basis of universal ethics. He rejects a rigid and textualistic approach to Islamic law and offers a new paradigm that integrates justice, human rights, and pluralism within the framework of a modern secular state.

Abstract

This article presents a comparative study of the Islamic reformist thought of Jamaluddin al-Afghani and Muhammad Abduh as responses to European colonialism and the epistemological crisis facing the Muslim world in the nineteenth century. Although both figures are often treated as representatives of a homogeneous intellectual tradition, this study reveals fundamental divergences in their epistemological foundations, reform agendas, and methods of change. Employing a qualitative library research approach with historical, analytical, and comparative methods, this study finds that al-Afghani constructed a politically militant epistemology that positioned reason as an instrument of resistance against colonial hegemony, while Abduh developed a more systematic theological rationalism emphasizing the harmonization of reason and revelation. Regarding their reform agendas, both agreed that Islamic revival does not entail Westernization, yet differed in their priorities: al-Afghani privileged top-down political transformation, whereas Abduh prioritized bottom-up educational and institutional reform. The study concludes that these two approaches are complementary rather than contradictory, and that both remain highly relevant for contemporary Muslim societies, particularly Indonesia, in addressing the challenges of radicalism, intolerance, and modernization.
