Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has fundamentally transformed the ways knowledge is produced, disseminated, and validated, resulting in significant paradigm shifts across educational, religious, and social domains. This study aims to examine how Islamic scholars construct and negotiate ethical frameworks and knowledge paradigms in response to the digital revolution, particularly in relation to ontological, epistemological, and axiological dimensions of knowledge. Employing a qualitative approach with Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), this study applies content analysis to examine classical and contemporary Islamic scholarly texts, academic publications, and authoritative digital discourses on technology and ethics. The findings reveal that Islamic scholars perceive the digital revolution as both a challenge and an opportunity: while digitalization disrupts traditional modes of authority and knowledge transmission, it also enables the emergence of more adaptive, inclusive, and context-sensitive models of Islamic scholarship and education. Furthermore, the analysis demonstrates an increasing emphasis on integrating spiritual and moral values with technological innovation to ensure ethical accountability and social benefit. This study implies that the formulation of technology ethics in the digital age requires a holistic integration of Islamic ethical principles with contemporary technological realities, offering a normative framework that promotes human well-being, social responsibility, and the public good.

Abstract

Islamic education in Indonesia faces fundamental challenges in the contemporary era, particularly criticism that the dominant curriculum is normative and doctrinal in nature, failing to balance cognitive aspects with affective and social aspects. Manifestations of this failure include a crisis of character, a decline in the ethos of mutual cooperation, and continuing social inequality. The renewal of Islamic Religious Education must have a strong and contextual philosophical foundation, which in the Indonesian context is offered by Nusantara Philosophy. Nusantara Philosophy, as a post-colonial project that reflects subaltern identity, demands that Islamic Religious Education serve the interests of the oppressed and reject the dualism of theory and practice. This study proposes the integration of Tan Malaka's People's Pedagogy, which has historically proven to be emancipatory, as the operational methodological framework of Nusantara Philosophy. Tan Malaka's People's Pedagogy, although based on Anti-Mystification Materialism, is strongly rooted in Islam as an anti-caste and anti-oppression movement. Its main objectives are liberation from ignorance and oppression, and the formation of agents of social change (Kaum Kromo) through an emphasis on practical skills and collectivity. The key synthesis of the integration of Tan Malaka's People's Pedagogy with the principle of Tawhid (Oneness) results in Transformative Islamic Religious Education, which operationalises Nusantara Philosophy. Transformative Islamic Religious Education emphasises the dialogical and problem-posing methods characteristic of critical pedagogy, as well as the reform of evaluation towards measuring social benefit. This study uses Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to analyse literature, resulting in the formulation of a Transformative Islamic Religious Education model that transforms the role of Islamic Religious Education teachers into emancipatory facilitators, demands curriculum harmonisation, and positions evaluation on the process and social impact, so that Islamic Religious Education becomes a true instrument for social emancipation and the achievement of national dignity.

Abstract

This study examines the epistemological crisis of modern science resulting from the dominance of Western positivism, which tends to separate scientific inquiry from transcendental values. The hegemony of rationalism and empiricism has marginalized spiritual dimensions in knowledge production, leading to epistemic reductionism. Drawing on post-positivist perspectives, particularly the works of Thomas S. Kuhn and Paul Feyer bend, this study explores the relevance of Islamic epistemology as an alternative framework. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of philosophical and Islamic epistemology literature published between 2020 and 2025, the analysis employs philosophical hermeneutics to examine points of conceptual convergence. The findings reveal a philosophical alignment between post-positivist critiques of rational-empirical dominance and the pluralistic epistemological structure of Islamic knowledge, grounded in Bayani (revelation), Burhani (reason), and Irfani (intuition). This synthesis is further articulated through the integration of Al-Attas’s emphasis on metaphysics and adab and Al-Faruqi’s focus on methodological and curricular reconstruction. The study argues that the tripartite Islamic epistemological framework offers a viable alternative paradigm for addressing the reductionism of modern science. However, further empirical studies are required to assess the applicability of this integrative model within Islamic higher education contexts.
