Abstract

This study examines the hermeneutical approaches of Fazlur Rahman and Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd in interpreting the Qur’an, highlighting their methodological innovations and epistemological divergences. Fazlur Rahman’s "Double Movement" theory seeks to bridge historical and contemporary contexts by extracting universal moral principles from Qur’anic injunctions, maintaining the text’s divine authority while advocating for contextual application. In contrast, Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd employs a linguistic-historical hermeneutic, treating the Qur’an as a "cultural product" shaped by socio-historical dynamics, thereby emphasizing its textuality over traditional theological frameworks. While Rahman’s approach aligns with Islamic moral-theological continuity, Abu Zayd’s secular-linguistic methodology, influenced by Western hermeneutics and post-structuralism, challenges classical exegetical norms, raising concerns about the Qur’an’s sacredness and normative authority. The study critically evaluates both models, revealing tensions between modernization and Islamic epistemological foundations, and underscores the necessity of grounding hermeneutical innovations within a tawḥīd-centric framework to preserve the Qur’an’s integrity as divine guidance.

Abstract

Currently, Muslims are facing various invasions of foreign thoughts that can damage the minds of the people, such as the entry of foreign thoughts from the West, including secularism. This paper seeks to discuss the secularization of education in Indonesia. One of the processes of entering Western thought in the realm of education is through secularization. Secularization has taken place on several teaching materials in schools in Indonesia. Like a history lesson that teaches that human ancestors were from the monkey nation which has evolved millions of years ago, so that religious values ​​that can actually shape morals or in Islam are known as morals, will not be achieved. In fact, many students who are still in school are trapped in free sex, promiscuity and drugs. Of course, this is very dangerous for the younger generation of this nation. When compared, the Western view with the Islamic view of life has far differences. Islam is based on revelation, hadith, reason, experience and intuition, and has a non-dichotomous or tawhidi approach. While the West does not have it, it cannot be equated, so this paper seeks to discuss the secularization of education in Indonesia

Abstract

This paper offers a critical analysis of modern materialist philosophy from an Islamic perspective. It argues that the spread of materialist thought—emerging prominently in the 19th century with ideologies like positivism, evolutionism, Marxism, pragmatism, and logical positivism—has fundamentally reshaped global intellectual discourse, often at the expense of metaphysical and spiritual values. The authors contend that these philosophies, while presenting themselves as “scientific” and “rational,” are unified in their denial of divine revelation, their reduction of reality to material phenomena, and their promotion of atheism. Drawing from the works of influential Western thinkers such as Karl Marx, Ernst Haeckel, and others, the paper highlights how materialism became the philosophical backbone of modern secular ideologies, particularly in education, politics, and economics. In contrast, the Islamic worldview maintains that reality encompasses both the seen and unseen, and that true knowledge must integrate reason, revelation, and empirical observation. The authors also reference contemporary Muslim scholars who have critically engaged with these ideologies, proposing methodological reforms in Islamic theology to better respond to the epistemological challenges posed by materialist philosophies. Ultimately, the paper asserts that modern materialism not only contradicts core Islamic tenets about God, man, and the universe but also leads to moral and existential crises by excluding transcendental values. Thus, a comprehensive Islamic critique is essential not only to defend the integrity of Islamic thought but also to contribute constructively to global philosophical debates

Abstract

This study endeavors  to elaborate on the educational philosophy of Syed Muhammad Naquib al Attas. Al Attas' educational thought, if traced according to his background, it cannot be separated from his attention to the current of secularization of science. As a philosopher, his conception of education begins with his view point on the human beings in terms of being very Islamic. For him, secular Western education gave birth to humans who are uncivilized, savage and brought damage not only to nature but also to humanity itself. Moreover , he sees that the cure for the crisis caused by the secularization of knowledge is through education. Therefore,  it is interesting to discuss the concept as proposed by al Attas to solve this problem.

Abstract

The concept of ta'dib, initiated by Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas, represents a re-originalization of the foundations of education in Islam. The concept of ta'dib, in al-Attas's view, is deeper than the value and meaning of education itself. Through the concept of ta'dib, al-Attas explains three important things. First, recognition. Second, recognition. Third, wisdom (hikmah). The meaning of recognition is that humans acknowledge Allah as their creator. Recognition means that humans also acknowledge that when humans are sworn in by their God with the witness of the spirit. And wisdom (hikmah) here is a reflection of justice and etiquette. This paper uses an analytical method based on library research. The conclusion of the study shows that the concept of ta'dib as an Islamic educational concept leads to the formation of good men (good individuals) supported by intellectual intelligence and skills, which is one of the efforts that must be revived in the contemporary era.
