Abstract

The contemporary era faces a profound crisis of identity and meaning, often characterized by nihilism, which challenges individuals to forge personal meaning in a world increasingly devoid of inherent value. This study investigates the genealogy of Friedrich Nietzsche's thought on authentic life, comparing it with the Islamic concept of Insan Kamil within the Sufi tradition to address modern alienation. Adopting a qualitative library research design, the study uses interpretation and comparative analysis of primary philosophical and key Islamic literature. This method enables in-depth examination of their conceptual convergences and divergences. The research finds that despite distinct ontological foundations, both Nietzsche's Ubermensch and the Islamic Insan Kamil emphasize self-examination, conscious living, and the active creation of meaning. Nietzsche's critique of inherited morality resonates with Islamic teachings against blind imitation and hypocrisy, while his call for authentic self-assertion parallels Sufi principles of ego-struggle and spiritual purification. This comparative analysis offers novel frameworks for understanding and potentially mitigating contemporary issues like burnout, toxic positivity, and spiritual emptiness. The study concludes that both philosophies provide robust pathways toward genuine authenticity and purpose, underscoring the urgent need for conscious, responsible living in a rapidly changing world.

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of synergizing the three types of human intelligence, namely spiritual, emotional and intellectual intelligence, through the perspective of revelation. According to the Quran, humans were created with hearing, sight and conscience as a means to understand and manage themselves in a balanced manner. Spiritual intelligence is related to the human ability to establish a close relationship with the Creator, emotional intelligence is related to the ability to manage emotions and empathize, and intellectual intelligence is related to the ability to think critically, creatively, and innovatively. The research approach in this study will use a qualitative approach with a library research method. Where this research wants to explore and understand the concept and perspective of revelation in synergizing spiritual, emotional, and intellectual intelligence. The data analysis technique in this research is content analysis where the process is to analyze the content and meaning of the data sources collected, then interpretation and synthesis, namely by understanding, interpreting, and synthesizing information from various sources to build a comprehensive understanding. The results show that the current phenomenon shows that many people only develop one aspect of intelligence, resulting in an imbalance. Individuals who only focus on developing intellectual intelligence tend to become rigid, self-centered, and insensitive. Conversely, individuals who only develop spiritual and emotional intelligence tend to be less able to think critically and face life's challenges effectively. Therefore, this article emphasizes the importance of synergizing the three aspects of intelligence through the perspective of revelation so that humans can achieve true blessings and happiness in life and carry out their functions and responsibilities as caliphs on earth.

Abstract

This article examines the thought of Mohammad Arkoun as one of the prominent figures in contemporary Islamic intellectual reform. The discussion focuses on three main aspects: Arkoun’s intellectual biography, his hermeneutical approach, and his project of critiquing Islamic reason as an effort toward epistemological reconstruction in Islam. Using a qualitative approach based on library research, this study analyzes Arkoun’s major works as well as relevant academic literature. The findings indicate that Arkoun’s intellectual background, shaped at the intersection of Islamic tradition and modern Western thought, led him to develop a critical hermeneutics that views the Qur’an and Islamic tradition as historical discourses open to reinterpretation. Arkoun’s critique of Islamic reason aims to expose the epistemological limitations of traditional Islamic thought, which tends to be normative and ideological. In the contemporary context, Arkoun’s ideas remain highly relevant as an attempt to reconstruct Islamic epistemology, foster a constructive dialogue between Islam and modernity, and offer a critical perspective on the ideologization of religion in political and social life. Thus, Arkoun’s thought contributes significantly to the development of Islamic studies that are more humanistic, reflective, and responsive to the challenges of the modern world.

Abstract

This article examines the integrative–interconnective paradigm developed by M. Amin Abdullah as an epistemological framework for the development of Qur’anic hermeneutics amid the growing prominence of interdisciplinary approaches in scholarship. The study departs from the problem of the dichotomy between normative Islamic sciences and the social–humanities sciences, which has long influenced methods of Qur’anic interpretation, often resulting either in ahistorical textual readings or, conversely, contextual approaches that lose their normative grounding. Employing a qualitative approach through critical library research, this study analyzes Amin Abdullah’s key ideas on the integration and interconnection of knowledge and their relevance to the development of contemporary Qur’anic hermeneutics. The findings indicate that Amin Abdullah’s integrative–interconnective paradigm offers a hermeneutical model that positions the Qur’an as a normative text continuously engaged in dialogue with historical, social, and cultural contexts. This approach creates space for the utilization of various disciplines—such as linguistics, history, sociology, and anthropology—without negating the authority of the revealed text. Within an interdisciplinary scholarly context, this paradigm functions as a methodological bridge for addressing the complexity of modern Muslim issues in a more comprehensive and responsible manner.

Abstract

This article discusses the relationship between Islam and multicultural theology. It employs qualitative research methodology with focusing on library research in getting documents relating to the issue. Islam and multicultural theology are two important disciplines that need to be reconsidered to capture the dimensions of similarities for both of them.

The author comes to conclude that these issues are strongly related in the theoretical framework as well as in practical. Issues such as respect, recognition, and tolerance are crucially important for both of them. Islam itself makes those aspects the fundamental philosophy in social interaction, particularly, love and humanism are the key elements of Islam. The last mentioned are not seriously taken into account in multicultural theology which is a more formal or legal relationship.

Abstract

This study is grounded in concerns over the transformation of local cultural values amid modernization, which may weaken their role in shaping social behavior. It examines the philosophical meaning and socio-discursive role of maja labo dahu within the Bima community of West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The discussion focuses on the integration of Islam and local culture, the construction of moral discourse, and the role of power relations in sustaining social norms. This study aims to analyze (1) the philosophical values embodied in maja labo dahu, (2) its function as a dominant moral discourse from a Foucauldian perspective, and (3) the role of power relations in its institutionalization within social institutions. This research employs a qualitative approach with a critical discourse analysis framework. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using inductive and deductive techniques. Data validity was ensured through triangulation. The findings reveal that maja labo dahu, meaning “shame and fear,” represents a synthesis between Islamic teachings and local cultural values that forms the ethical foundation of Bima society. From a Foucauldian perspective, it functions as a dominant moral discourse reproduced through educational, religious, and governmental institutions. The study concludes that maja labo dahu is a dynamic discursive practice shaping moral subjectivity, collective identity, and social order, while reflecting the operation of power–knowledge in contemporary society.
