Abstract

This study reconstructs Jurgen Habermas' theory of communicative action by developing a Critical-Normative Language Epistemology for Arabic language education. Addressing this gap, the study aims to formulate a philosophical framework that integrates communicative rationality with normative orientation in the production and validation of knowledge. Employing a library research design with critical philosophical analysis and conceptual synthesis, the study systematically examines Habermas' communicative action alongside contemporary literature on critical theory, philosophy of language, and Arabic language education. The findings reveal that Habermas' epistemology retains substantial explanatory power but exhibits a normative deficit because communicative validity primarily emphasizes procedural legitimacy rather than the ethical orientation of knowledge. To address this limitation, the study proposes Normative-Transcendental Validity as a meta-validity dimension and formulates the Critical-Normative Language Epistemology (CNLE) Framework, which conceptualizes language as a mechanism for knowledge production, epistemic validation, normative orientation, and emancipatory transformation. The originality of this study lies in reconstructing communicative action into a comprehensive epistemological framework rather than merely reinterpreting it within pedagogical discourse. This framework contributes theoretically to philosophy of science and language epistemology while providing a philosophical foundation for developing Arabic language education that is dialogical, critical, ethically grounded, and emancipatory.

Abstract

This study examines the life of KH Dauglas Toha Yahya (Gus Lik) as a contemporary expression of non-institutional social Sufism in Indonesia. Over the past two decades, the rise of symbolic religiosity, the popularity of celebrity preachers, and the commodification of religion have created a gap between outward religious expressions and substantive forms of social piety. This study aims to explain how Gus Lik’s everyday practices present an alternative model of religiosity rooted in simplicity, social proximity, and service to the community. Using a qualitative design and a historical–hermeneutic framework, the study draws on in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The data were analyzed using content and thematic analysis. The main findings identify three central patterns: first, Sufi asceticism (zuhud), manifested in a minimalist lifestyle, rejection of wealth and privileges, and closeness to marginalized groups; second, ta’dzim toward one’s teacher, which forms moral ethos, emotional discipline, and non-institutional charismatic authority; and third, khidmah (social service), reflected in direct engagement with the community, the formation of horizontal solidarity, and the creation of inclusive religious spaces. The study’s implications indicate that these Sufi values can play a significant role in strengthening social cohesion, offering critique against the commodification of spirituality, and presenting a model of religious leadership grounded in ethical exemplarity. The originality of this study lies in its systematic mapping of a contemporary Sufi figure who has received limited scholarly attention, as well as the formulation of a typology of “social Sufism” as a theoretical contribution to religious studies in Southeast Asia.
