Abstract

Contemporary Islamic environmental discourse increasingly draws on classical theological and exegetical traditions, yet the methodological legitimacy of translating premodern concepts into modern ecological categories remains contested. This study critically examines how selected concepts in Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī’s Mafātīḥ al-Ghayb khalīfah (Q. 2:30–31), amānah (Q. 33:72), mīzān (Q. 55:7–9), fasād (Q. 30:41), and isrāf (Q. 7:31) can be ecologically reconstructed and compared with the ecotheological policies of Indonesia’s Ministry of Religious Affairs. Using qualitative library research and policy analysis, the study employs hermeneutic reading, content analysis, and thematic comparison. The findings show that these concepts contain theological, ethical, and cosmological elements that permit ecological reinterpretation, although they were not originally formulated as a systematic environmental theory. Contemporary categories such as theocentrism, anthropocentrism, ecocentrism, and cosmocentrism are therefore treated as analytical lenses rather than as al-Rāzī’s own conceptual vocabulary. Comparison with Eco-Friendly Mosques, Forest Waqf, tree-planting initiatives, and the National Ecotheology Policy Document 2025–2029 reveals normative correspondence but not direct historical influence, conceptual identity, policy causation, or institutional effectiveness. The study concludes that the relationship between al-Rāzī’s exegesis and contemporary ecotheological policy is interpretively constructed, normatively comparable, and marked by significant historical and conceptual discontinuities.

Abstract

This article conceptualizes Islamicate Futures as an emerging interdisciplinary field for rethinking Islamic Studies in response to contemporary global transformation. The study begins from the problem that Islamic Studies has developed strong scholarly tools for interpreting texts, traditions, legal schools, institutions, and histories, but remains less equipped to analyze uncertainty, future imaginaries, digital authority, ecological crisis, demographic change, and long-term Muslim social transformation. Using a qualitative conceptual design and critical documentary analysis, the article examines Islamic normative texts, global policy documents, institutional reports, contemporary Muslim public declarations, and relevant theoretical literature in Islamic Studies, Islamicate studies, futures studies, digital religion, and Islamic ethics. The findings show that Islamicate Futures is not a speculative discourse about Islam and the future, but a field-building framework that connects knowledge, ethics, governance, sustainability, digital transformation, and plural Muslim public life. The study identifies four core arguments: Islamic Studies requires an anticipatory epistemic orientation; digital religion and artificial intelligence destabilize conventional forms of Islamic knowledge mediation; Islamic environmental ethics must move beyond symbolic language toward institutional implementation; and Muslim demographic change should be analyzed critically through pluralism, governance, education, law, and social transformation rather than demographic triumphalism. The article contributes theoretically by integrating Islamicate studies, critical Islamic Studies, futures studies, digital religion, and Islamic ethics into a coherent framework for future-oriented Islamic scholarship.
