Abstract

This study aims to analyze the concept of rationalism from both Islamic and Western perspectives through a comparative approach. Previous research indicates that the two traditions share the use of reason as an epistemic instrument, yet differ significantly in their sources of truth, methodological foundations, and philosophical orientations. This research employs a library-based method with a philosophical-descriptive approach to examine the ideas of key thinkers from both traditions. The findings reveal that Western rationalism grounds truth in the autonomy of human reason through deductive methods, methodological skepticism, and the coherence theory of truth. In contrast, Islamic rationalism integrates reason with divine revelation, particularly in interpreting theological and metaphysical realities. These distinctions influence the development of scientific thought, the structure of epistemology, and ethical orientations within each civilization. This study concludes that Islamic rationalism is characterized by a theocentric-integrative framework, whereas Western rationalism tends to be anthropocentric and secular. The results of this research are expected to contribute to the discourse on comparative epistemology and provide a foundation for further studies on the integration of knowledge.

Abstract

Happiness (al-sa'ādah) remains a central theme across philosophy, psychology, and social sciences, yet contemporary views often reduce it to material pleasures, overlooking spiritual dimensions emphasized by Abu Nasr al-Farabi. This study aims to analyze al-Farabi's concept of happiness, focusing on the roles of intellect (potential, actual, active) and soul (vegetative, imaginative, rational powers) as pathways to eternal felicity oriented toward God. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach via library research, the population comprised all relevant literature up to 2025, with a purposive sample of 20-25 high-quality sources from Google Scholar. Instruments included primary texts like Tahsil al-Sa'adah and secondary journals; data were analyzed through qualitative content analysis involving thematic coding, reduction, and triangulation. Findings reveal happiness as the ultimate good achieved via four virtues (theoretical, intellectual, moral, practical) and stages: soul purification, material detachment, divine imitation, and societal guidance. In conclusion, al-Farabi's framework offers a holistic model for modern well-being, surpassing hedonism through intellect-soul perfection.

Abstract

Ibn Zakaria al-Razi specialized in psychotherapy. His book "Al-Thibb al-Ruhani" serves as a crucial reference for this research. The main objective of this research is to comprehend al-Razi's perspective on the concepts of the soul, mental well-being, and psychotherapy. The research methodology utilized is qualitative, employing a literature review approach. The findings indicate that, according to al-Razi, the human soul comprises three dimensions: the divine soul (al-Nafs an-Nathiqah al-Ilahiyah), the animalistic soul (al-Nafs al-Ghadabiyah), and the vegetative soul (al-Nafs al-Nabatiyah). The divine soul is seen as eternal, akin to God. Al-Razi emphasizes that mental health significantly affects an individual's physical well-being. Moreover, psychological stability is influenced by the surrounding environment. Thus, the healing process for the soul involves both physical and psychological therapy. These therapies are founded on two fundamental principles: (1) the control of intellect over desires (darurah tahakkum al-aql fi al-hawa) and (2) the restraint of desires and passions (qam'u al-hawa wa al-syahwat). Additionally, al-Razi implements two counseling techniques: accepting reality and returning to Allah Swt.
