Abstract

This study analyzes al-Hallaj’s Sufi thought within the dialectical framework of particular faith and universal plurality, while formulating its relevance to contemporary religious life in Indonesia. The research is motivated by Indonesia’s pluralistic society, which remains vulnerable to identity-based conflicts, highlighting the need for a theological and spiritual foundation to address intolerance and religious exclusivism. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method with a library research approach. A hermeneutic-philosophical analysis is applied to the primary sources, namely Kitab al-Tawasin and Diwan al-Hallaj, supported by Louis Massignon’s authoritative scholarship and triangulated with relevant peer-reviewed journal articles. The findings reveal three major points. First, authentic faith in al-Hallaj’s Sufism is understood as an inner spiritual experience awakened through divine love (mahabbah) and culminating in fanā’, as symbolized by the expression Ana al-Haqq. Second, the concept of Wahdat al-Adyan, grounded in the doctrine of Nur Muhammad, asserts that religious differences represent historical and exoteric diversity, whereas their essential orientation remains the worship of the One God. Third, al-Hallaj’s thought provides a spiritual foundation for strengthening religious moderation in Indonesia by enriching the meaning of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika while offering an ethical and theological response to radicalism, intolerance, and identity politics. This study contributes a theoretical synthesis linking classical Sufi spirituality with inclusive social ethics in contemporary plural societies.

Abstract

This study aims to critically examine the relevance of Paul Feyerabend’s epistemological anarchism to the Islamic tradition of ijtihad, particularly in addressing methodological rigidity within contemporary Islamic scholarship. The increasing dominance of singular methodological frameworks in Islamic studies has contributed to epistemic stagnation and limited interpretive creativity. Employing a qualitative research design based on library research, this study analyzes Feyerabend’s major philosophical works alongside classical and contemporary Islamic epistemological sources. Using descriptive and comparative methods, the analysis explores conceptual convergences between Feyerabend’s critique of methodological absolutism—encapsulated in his principle of “anything goes”—and the inherently pluralistic nature of ijtihad as practiced by classical Muslim jurists. The findings demonstrate that both frameworks emphasize intellectual freedom, contextual reasoning, and the legitimacy of diverse methodological approaches in the pursuit of knowledge and truth. Rather than advocating epistemic relativism, the integration of Feyerabend’s insights with Islamic epistemology offers a model of methodological openness grounded in ethical responsibility and revelatory norms. This study argues that such an epistemological synthesis can contribute to the revitalization of ijtihad by promoting an inclusive, adaptive, and context-sensitive paradigm of Islamic knowledge production, capable of engaging constructively with modern scientific rationality while remaining faithful to the normative foundations of Islamic thought.

Abstract

The persistence of social, economic, and cultural inequalities in Indonesia raises a fundamental question concerning how political justice can be conceptualized and practiced within a pluralistic society. This study examines Gus Dur’s (Abdurrahman Wahid) conception of political justice in dialogue with John Rawls’s theory of justice as fairness and asks how their respective approaches contribute to the construction of justice-based politics in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative, descriptive-analytical approach, the study analyzes Gus Dur’s major writings as primary sources and engages relevant philosophical and political literature through critical textual and content analysis. The study’s novelty lies in reconceptualizing Gus Dur’s political thought not merely as an expression of Islamic pluralism, but as an ethical-political framework that expands the scope of justice beyond institutional and distributive arrangements. The findings demonstrate that both Gus Dur and Rawls emphasize equality, fundamental rights, and the protection of disadvantaged groups as essential to a just democratic order. However, Gus Dur extends this framework by grounding justice in Islamic humanism, religious pluralism, moral responsibility, and local wisdom. Justice, therefore, requires not only fair institutions but also ethical transformation, recognition across differences, and inclusive political praxis. This framework offers a contextual model of justice-based politics for Indonesia’s diverse society.
