Abstract

Current global higher education is undergoing a transformation toward the Research University model; however, in the context of Islamic education, this discourse often falls into a technocratic approach that neglects the Quranic epistemological foundations. This study aims to discuss how concepts within the Quran can serve as a basis for building and developing research universities in the global era. The method employed is qualitative library research with a philosophical-epistemological analysis approach. Data sources consist of relevant primary and secondary scientific works, analyzed using thematic and descriptive analysis techniques. The results show that the "Iqra" command in the Quran is a theological mandate for research activities that must be based on the name of Allah (bismi rabbika) to maintain a moral compass. The development of an Islamic research university can be operationalized through four pillars: dynamic knowledge production (Al-Harakah al-Jawhariyyah), publication integrity (Ittehad al-Aqil wa al-Ma’qul), innovation through creative science (Al-Hikmah), and intellectual openness (Tajaddud al-Amthal). Strategic steps include curriculum reconstruction based on Ulul Albab, strengthening a critical culture (Burhan), interdisciplinary approaches, and implementing research ethics based on Akhlakul Karimah. This study concludes that a Quran-based research university is not merely an academic institution but a form of intellectual worship and "Modern-Day Ijtihad" to realize the welfare of the people (Rahmatan lil 'Alamin).

Abstract

This article examines the role of Muhammadiyah in fostering a balanced economic order, tracing its trajectory from puritanical reasoning toward religious moderation. Muhammadiyah’s religious vision serves as a form of social capital that strengthens food security initiatives. This study is a library-based inquiry employing a philosophical–historical–critical approach. The chosen analytical framework is functionalism, which emphasizes impact and explores the interrelations between religious functions and work ethic. Within this framework, functionalism observes how Muhammadiyah’s puritanism is transformed into economic consciousness, ultimately producing concrete achievements through its charitable enterprises. The findings reveal that Muhammadiyah’s puritanism is dynamic rather than static. Its puritan impulses operate more actively in the social sphere than in the theological one. Its rejection of certain rituals and traditions reflects a refusal of inefficiency. Conversely, Muhammadiyah’s moderation strengthens ethos and action, cultivating balance between worldly and spiritual life, between the physical and the metaphysical, and between spiritual and material pursuits. For Muhammadiyah, the interpretation of Qur’anic verses is assessed through practice and the benefits they generate. This pragmatic religious orientation aligns with the character of urban Muslims and represents a geo-spiritual approach that contributes to social mobility within the community.

Abstract

Empiricism constitutes a major branch of epistemological philosophy that emphasizes observation, experimentation, induction, and verification as foundations of knowledge; however, its relationship with scientific development in the classical Islamic world requires further systematic examination. This study analyzes the principles of empiricism and their contribution to the advancement of science and technology in the classical Islamic intellectual tradition. Employing a qualitative descriptive-analytical library research design, the study examines primary texts by Western empiricist philosophers, Qur’anic and hadith-based epistemological sources, and the works of classical Muslim scholars, supported by relevant secondary literature. The findings indicate that the core principles of empiricism were reflected in the scientific practices of Ibn al-Haytham, Al-Biruni, Jabir ibn Hayyan, Al-Razi, Ibn Sina, and other Muslim scholars. Their contributions to optics, astronomy, chemistry, medicine, and mathematics demonstrate a systematic reliance on observation, experimentation, and empirical verification rather than speculative reasoning alone. The analysis further shows that Islamic epistemology provides a compatible foundation for empirical inquiry by integrating revelation, reason, and sensory experience. This synthesis enabled Muslim scholars to develop a distinctive scientific tradition characterized by methodological rigor and spiritual orientation. The study concludes that the historical legacy of Islamic empiricism offers a relevant framework for revitalizing contemporary science and technology in the Muslim world. Its principal contribution lies in demonstrating that the renewed application of observation, experimentation, and critical verification within an Islamic epistemological framework may strengthen scientific development while maintaining ethical and theological coherence.
