<![CDATA[Islamic studies as a field of discipline has undergone significant transformation throughout its history. The methodology used in Islamic studies continues to evolve, in line with the social, political, and intellectual developments within Muslim societies. This article explores the relationship between traditional methodologies in Islamic studies and the contemporary, more inclusive, and interdisciplinary approaches. By incorporating social theory, sociology, gender studies, and philosophy, the article argues that Islamic studies methodology needs to adapt to modern dynamics in order to provide a more holistic understanding of the religious and social phenomena faced by Muslims today. Furthermore, the article examines how traditional methodologies, focusing on tafsir, hadith, and fiqh, can be integrated with modern theories such as postcolonial theory, political sociology, and feminist theory. The research shows that while classical Islamic thought provides a strong foundation, contemporary methodologies that are more open to interdisciplinary approaches can offer new solutions in addressing contemporary challenges such as radicalization, secularization, and pluralism in the Muslim world.ABSTRAKStudi Islam sebagai disiplin ilmu telah berkembang seiring dengan perubahan sosial, politik, dan intelektual dalam masyarakat Muslim, yang memunculkan kebutuhan untuk menyesuaikan metodologi dengan tantangan zaman. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi pergeseran metodologi dalam studi Islam, mengintegrasikan pendekatan tradisional dengan teori-teori sosial-politik kontemporer, seperti teori postkolonial, sosiologi, dan feminisme. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui studi literatur, mengkaji karya-karya klasik dan kontemporer terkait metodologi studi Islam. Data dianalisis menggunakan pendekatan analisis tematik untuk mengidentifikasi tema utama dalam perubahan metodologi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun metodologi tradisional yang berfokus pada tafsir, hadits, dan fiqh memiliki nilai penting dalam memahami ajaran Islam, pendekatan interdisipliner yang menggabungkan teori-teori modern semakin diperlukan untuk menjawab tantangan sosial-politik dunia Muslim masa kini, seperti radikalisasi, sekularisasi, dan pluralisme.]]>
