Abstract

The good quality of education in South Korea still leaves many problems to be solved. The high suicide rate among students, rampant cases of bullying, the differences in quality between private school and public school and high family demands for school achievement are known as education fever. This research is a type of descriptive analysis research, comparing two variables of the education system, namely the South Korean education system and the Islamic education system. Qualitative research method, with data collection from literature that is related to the issues discussed. The problem that occurs in the world of Korean education when viewed from the perspective of Islamic education is the purpose of education itself. Islamic education emphasizes usefulness and human beings who believe and have good morals, while South Korean education aims to change the social strata of families in society. Education is not just a ladder to change social status, but to develop human potential so that they can become caliphs on earth. Not only building intellectual capacity but also spiritual capacity, to provide strength and encouragement in dealing with every failure in life.

Abstract

Islamic syaria diskursus hubungan agama dan negara tetap hangat diperbincangkan dari waktu ke waktu. Mencuatnya ragam intrik atas Islam sebagi model ideal politik menimbulkan pro-kontra. Ini dibuktikan dengan wujudnya golongan yang merasa keberatan jika Islam dianggap tidak mengatur politik. Yang lebih mencengangkan lagi umat muslim yang sudah memiliki worldview Islam pandangan hidup yang benar identifikasi sistim politik Islam hanya dapat dilakukan dengan merujuk kepada Islamic Worldview yang dipancarkan oleh al-Quran dan diperjelas oleh Nabi serta dipraktekanya. Semua itu diperkaya dengan praktek pada sahabat dan wacana para ulama sesudahnya. Jika sistem politik Islam telah ditemukan identitasnya maka lngkah selanjutnya adalah melaukan pengembangan secara konseptual.

Abstract

This paper reveals descriptively the textual basis of Muhammad Abdullah Darraz’s thoughts as stated in his work Dustūr al-Akhlāq fī al-Qur’ān: Dirāsah Muqāranah li al-Akhlāq al-Nażāriyyāt fī al-Qur’ān. It aims to confirm the extent of the text analysis model used by Darraz in formulating the concept of Islamic morality. The researcher used a qualitative research type and a content analysis approach by tracing the interpretation of the verses of the Koran and the background to the criticism built by Darraz. This research makes Dustūr al-Akhlāq fī al-Qur’ān a material object and the critic of morality as a formal object. The fīndings are as follows: Fīrst, in his thought project, Darraz uses Qur’anic epistemology by indirectly using al-Ghazali’s maqāṣīd al-Qur’ān method. So, with this method, he succeeded in finding forms of commands in various pronunciations of the Qur’an to confīrm the Shari'ah of overall morality. Second, Darraz proved that Islamic morality differs from Western morality based on empiricism and is not value-free. This is preceded by constructive criticism of the existing Islamic treasures and their further development. On the other hand, it applies destructive criticism to Western views on morality. In short, Darraz's thought project is an anti-thesis effort to the conventional concept of morality that has developed by offering an original reference to understanding the Koran.

Abstract

This study examines the theological perspectives on Divine Attributes among the Ashʿarī, Māturīdī, and Muʿtazilite schools, highlighting their doctrinal differences and methodological approaches. While the Ashʿarīs affirm Divine Attributes as neither identical to nor separate from God’s essence, the Māturīdīs emphasize rational-textual balance, rejecting anthropomorphism without negating attributes. In contrast, the Muʿtazilites deny eternal attributes, arguing they compromise God’s unity (tawḥīd), and interpret scriptural anthropomorphisms metaphorically. Employing a critical-analytical method, this research reveals how these schools navigate the tension between divine transcendence and scriptural literalism. The findings underscore the Ashʿarī-Māturīdī alignment against Muʿtazilite rationalism, while noting subtle divergences between them. The study contributes to broader Islamic theological discourse by clarifying these schools’ positions on Divine Attributes.

Abstract

The ideology of Marxism that was a response to capitalism is considered a comprehensive view of life. Its emergence in the midst of oppression is seen as a significant solution. In fact, it is called a complete theoretical system. Marx with his ideology endeavour to defend and stop the exploitation of the proletariat caused by the capitalist bourgeoisie. This research is a qualitative library research. Sources of data were obtained from several books, journals and literatures that have relevance to this research. While the analytical method used is a critical analysis method using an Islamic worldview approach. The aim of this study is to explain the concept of Marxism then analyze and criticize it with an Islamic worldview. The results of this study explain that the ideology of Marxism seems to provide a solution but in fact it brings more complex problems. Instead of prospering humans from the alienation of the capitalist system, this ideology actually alienates humans in another way, namely distancing humans from private property which is clearly allowed in Islam. This ideology has even alienated humans from their religion. The conclusion is that Marx is not fundamental in his efforts to provide solutions. He only looks at the economic aspect even though in this life there are various aspects. His solution is partial and does not move integrally as is the case in Islam.

Abstract

This article is aimed at elaborating on the role of intuition as a valid methodology in acquiring knowledge according to Imam al-Ghazali's thought. The concept of knowledge according to Imam al-Ghazali culminates in the thought of the Sufis. That is to make intuitive knowledge a very important knowledge than other knowledge. This study uses descriptive and philosophical analysis methods by using the philosophy of science of Prof. Syed M Naquib al-Attas. From the study conducted, it is known that Imam al-Ghazali mentions several terms for intuitive knowledge: ilham, mukasyafah, hads, or wijdan. However, the term mukasyafah was discussed more by Imam al-Ghazali in his work. Ilham and hads are sometimes referred to the same meaning. Mukasyafah is mentioned more because it seems that in Imam al-Ghazali's view it is the highest spiritual knowledge. Intuition through mukasyafah is included in the ma'rifah category. Imam al-Ghazali distinguishes between al-ilm and al-ma'rifah. Al-Ilm is knowledge acquired through reason and sensory experience. While ma'rifah is knowledge obtained through the method of intuition that culminates in the introduction to Allah SWT. However, from the study it was also found that between al-ilm and al-ma'rifah did not differ dichotomously. However, Imam al-Ghazali's view shows that al-ma'rifah must be the basis of the development of al-ilm. The purpose of acquiring knowledge through al-ilm must culminate in the introduction of Allah SWT. The acquisition of al-ilm is called al-mi'raj al-awwal (the first ladder of acquiring knowledge). The acquisition of al-ma'rifah is called al-mi'raj ats-tsaniyah (second ladder of acquiring knowledge). In al-mi'raj ats-tasniyah, one gets an understanding of the nature of reality and the real truth. With this basis, spiritual knowledge is the basis of all knowledge. So, scientists should not stop at acquiring knowledge in the alamu ash- shahadah but they need to improve their findings in the alam al-Malakut. If so, then scientists who use intuition as the basis of their knowledge, see the existence of nature that must be based on tauhid, namely the tauhid of the muqarrabun. The highest level of tauhid. So that someone can gain knowledge of wisdom and recognize the nature of this natural reality, namely the Absolute Reality of Allah SWT. Subsequently, a scientist can gain knowledge of wisdom (hikmah). This wisdom moves to do justice to nature. This perspective with high spirituality awareness gives birth to a fair attitude towards nature and the environment. Nature is not seen as an inanimate object that stands free, but nature is a manifestation of Allah SWT. In that way, he recognizes adab to nature.

Abstract

This article discusses the influence of Salafiyah movement in Egypt on the Indonesian Muslim reformers in developing Islamic education. Salafiyah movement in Egypt led by Jamaluddin al-Afghani, Muhammad Abduh and Muhammad Rasyid Rida has affected many Muslim activists in Indonesia. The entry of this movement to Indonesia was through the Indonesian students who returned from their study in Egypt. This Influence can be traced to the development and modernization of Islamic education in Sumatra such as the establishment of Madrasah Tawalib, Islamic University of Sungayang, Madrasah of Normal Islam, Madrasah Diniyah. From Sumatra, it spreads to Java, Sulawesi and Kalimantan, marked by the establishment of schools by Muhammadiyah organization, Persis, Al Irsyad and Darussalam Islamic boarding school Gontor, Madrasah As’adiyah in Sulawesi, Jami’ah Islamiyah Sultaniyah and Normal Islam in Kalimantan. From those Islamic educational institutions, Islamic universities were born in Indonesia.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v20i2.389

Abstract

After Sunni had triumphed over Shi'i, a new conflict arose between philosophical Tasawuf and pantheism. The dominant figures in the pantheist camp included ?amzah al-Fan?uri and Shams al-D?n al-Sumatrani. This madhhab was supported by the elites in the Aceh Kingdom. Shaykh Nur al-Din al-Raniri and Shaykh 'Abd al-Ra'uf al-Singkili introduced Sunni Tasawuf into the kingdom in order to eradicate philosophical Tasawuf in influence. In the end, Shaykh Nur al-Din al-Raniri and Shaykh 'Abd al-Ra'uf succeeded in annihilating philosophical Tasawuf. DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v16i3.476

Abstract

This research examines Nursi's conceptualization of God and Nature as a critical response to Atheism and Naturalism. In their view, nature is an independent and self-operating system, so God has no place in the mechanism of nature. This view is inseparable from the secularism, materialism, positivism and scientism they uphold. Answering this problem, Said Nursi, an Islamic scholar, tried to respond to the concept of God and Nature that was not in accordance with Islam, even the view actually degraded nature itself as God's creation. This study employs a qualitative approach and utilizes the critical analysis methodology, with the primary source of reference being Risalah Nur. The findings of the article reveal that Atheism and Naturalism have a false understanding of nature and God. In Nursi's view, nature depends on God and does not work alone. Said Nursi has also developed a theological understanding of nature, arguing that the existence of God can be inferred from the birth of the universe. Nursi revealed that the universe is a great book and a marvellous work of God's art, it is like a mirror that reflects the beauty of its Creator. Nursi said that proving God's existence makes more sense than the arguments that reject His existence.
