Abstract

In Islamic intellectual history, intellect (‘aql) is not merely a cognitive faculty but a moral and spiritual instrument. However, contemporary discourse often reduces reason to technical rationality, neglecting its ethical and transcendent dimensions. This article examines al-Ghazali’s understanding of intellect and its role in guiding human beings toward insān kāmil (the perfect human). The study adopts a qualitative library-based methodology, employing descriptive and analytical approaches. Primary sources include al-Ghazali’s key works, notably Iḥyā’ ‘Ulūm al-Dīn and al-Munqidz min al-Dhalāl complemented by classical and contemporary scholarly interpretations. The analysis focuses on al-Ghazali’s classifications of intellect, its epistemological scope, and its relationship with revelation and spiritual practice. The findings show that al-Ghazali conceives intellect as a divine light residing in the heart and functioning as the primary source of knowledge. He distinguishes intellect into practical and theoretical types and outlines hierarchical stages culminating in the acquired intellect (al-‘aql al-mustafād). Intellect is inseparable from revelation and moral discipline, as ultimate truth transcends sensory and rational limits and requires spiritual illumination. When harmonized with faith and ethical practice, intellect guides humans toward spiritual maturity, moral excellence, and social responsibility. The study concludes that al-Ghazali’s integrated vision of intellect offers a normative model for achieving insān kāmil and remains relevant for addressing contemporary intellectual and moral challenges.

Abstract

This study explores the philosophical and socio-intellectual reconstruction of Islamic civilization in the modern era through the thought of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi. The purpose of this research is to analyze how Nursi’s theological and epistemological framework provides a constructive response to the challenges of secular modernity, materialism, and moral disintegration within Muslim societies. Employing a qualitative method with a philosopical approach and content analysis method, this study critically examines Nursi’s primary texts—particularly the Risale-i Nur Collection—and contextualizes them within broader discourses of Islamic renewal and modernity. The findings reveal that Nursi’s concept of iman tahqiqi (verified faith) and his integration of reason and revelation serve as the foundation for reconstructing a spiritually rooted yet intellectually open Islamic civilization. His vision emphasizes moral reform, scientific advancement guided by divine purpose, and social cohesion based on justice and compassion. Moreover, Nursi’s approach bridges traditional religious scholarship with modern epistemology, offering a model for holistic development that reconciles faith, knowledge, and progress. The study concludes that Nursi’s thought remains profoundly relevant to contemporary Muslim societies facing crises of identity, secularization, and environmental degradation. It recommends further comparative research between Nursi’s civilizational vision and contemporary Islamic thinkers to formulate an integrative paradigm for Islamic civilization renewal in the 21st century.
