Abstract

Konsep ketuhanan dalam Islam telah menjadi objek perdebatan panjang di kalangan ulama, terutama dalam disiplin Ilmu Kalam. Dialektika pemikiran ulama mencerminkan dinamika epistemologi Islam yang berkembang dari era klasik hingga kontemporer. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengalaman subjektif ulama dalam memahami konsep ketuhanan melalui pendekatan historis dan fenomenologis. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan studi kepustakaan terhadap karya-karya mutakallimun dari berbagai mazhab, termasuk Asy‘ariyah, Maturidiyah, dan Mu‘tazilah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengalaman subjektif ulama dipengaruhi oleh latar belakang sosial, intelektual, serta respons terhadap tantangan filosofis dan teologis pada masanya. Perbedaan metodologi dalam menafsirkan sifat-sifat Tuhan menegaskan adanya pluralitas dalam tradisi pemikiran Islam tanpa menghilangkan esensi tauhid. Studi ini memberikan kontribusi bagi penguatan wacana keislaman berbasis argumentasi rasional dan dialogis, serta relevan dalam menjawab tantangan kontemporer dalam pemahaman ketuhanan. The concept of divinity in Islam has been the object of long debate among Islamic scholars, especially in the discipline of Kalam (Theology). The dialectic of Islamic thought reflects the dynamics of Islamic epistemology that developed from the classical to the contemporary era. This study aims to analyze the subjective experiences of Islamic scholars in understanding the concept of divinity through a historical and phenomenological approach. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature review of the works of mutakallimun from various schools of thought, including the Ash'ariyah, Maturidiyah, and Mu'tazilah. The results show that the subjective experiences of Islamic scholars are influenced by their social and intellectual backgrounds, as well as responses to the philosophical and theological challenges of their time. Differences in methodology in interpreting the attributes of God emphasize the existence of plurality in the tradition of Islamic thought without eliminating the essence of monotheism. This study contributes to strengthening Islamic discourse based on rational and dialogical arguments, and is relevant in addressing contemporary challenges in understanding divinity.

Abstract

This article discusses the modernization of Islamic thought as a response to the increasingly complex challenges of radicalism and secularism in the contemporary era. Modernization in Islamic thought aims to align religious principles with the dynamics of developments in the era without sacrificing the core values of Islam. On the one hand, radicalism emerges as a movement that rejects all forms of change and modernity, often using the pretext of religion to legitimize violence and intolerance. On the other hand, secularism offers an approach that separates religion from public life, thus potentially reducing the role of spirituality in the social order. Through literature analysis and case studies in several Muslim countries, this article explores the strategy of modernizing Islamic thought that can be a middle ground between the two extremes. The results of the study indicate that the modernization of Islamic thought must be based on a deep understanding of classical texts, accompanied by contextualization according to the social and cultural needs of today's society. In addition, collaboration between Muslim intellectuals and traditional scholars plays an important role in spreading a moderate, inclusive, and relevant understanding of Islam. In conclusion, the modernization of Islamic thought can be an effective solution in bridging the need to adapt to global change without ignoring the essence of Islamic teachings, while at the same time countering the threats of radicalism and secularism. This research contributes to the development of moderate Islamic discourse that is appropriate to the modern socio-political context.
