Abstract

This study is motivated by the importance of examining the relevance of the Muslim philosopher Ibn Rushd’s thought in shaping the Islamic Malay identity in Riau, which is currently facing the challenges of globalization, modernization, and shifting cultural values. The main problem addressed in this research is how Ibn Rushd’s concept of rationality is understood and integrated into the formation of religious and cultural character within the Islamic Malay community in Riau. This research employs a library research method by analyzing Ibn Rushd’s works alongside scholarly literature related to Islamic Malay identity. The findings reveal that Ibn Rushd’s idea of harmonizing reason and revelation aligns with the principle of “adat bersendikan syarak, syarak bersendikan Kitabullah” in the Riau Malay tradition. The rationality promoted by Ibn Rushd strengthens the intellectual framework of the Islamic Malay community, fostering a more moderate, critical, and responsive attitude toward contemporary challenges. This study contributes to Islamic and cultural studies by offering a philosophical framework that integrates classical Islamic rationality with local identity formation, thereby enriching discussions on how Muslim communities can sustain religious and cultural identity while engaging constructively with modern intellectual developments.

Abstract

This article examines Ibn Rushd’s rationality as an epistemological strategy in combating superstition (khurafat) within the Islamic intellectual tradition. The main issue addressed is the persistence of religious practices and beliefs that lack a solid rational and epistemic foundation, often sustained through blind taqlid, textual literalism, and methodological errors in understanding revelation. This phenomenon highlights the urgency of reintroducing a rational framework for a responsible interpretation of Islamic teachings. The study aims to analyze Ibn Rushd’s concept of rationality, particularly the status of reason, the burhan method, and his critique of irrational patterns of religiosity, as well as to assess its relevance in the contemporary Islamic context. This research employs a qualitative library-based method using an epistemological and historical-philosophical approach to Ibn Rushd’s major works and recent academic studies. The findings indicate that Ibn Rushd’s rationality does not stand in opposition to revelation; rather, it functions as an instrument for purifying religion from distortion and superstition. By positioning reason as a means of verifying religious understanding, Ibn Rushd offers a model of religiosity that is critical, moderate, and intellectually responsible. This article contributes to strengthening rational Islamic thought as a constructive alternative in responding to contemporary religious challenges.
