Abstract

Hagar is a fascinating figure in both Jewish and Islamic traditions. Her portrayal varies greatly across these two different faiths. In both Jewish and Islamic traditions, Hagar is sent away into the desert. However, this same story has different interpretations in Judaism and Islam and has diverse cultural impacts on today’s Jewish and Muslim societies. In Islam, Hagar is seen as a respected figure, the mother of Arabs. This contrasts with her negative portrayal in some Jewish interpretations. This paper examines historical sources of Hagar’s story in the Biblical narrative and the Islamic tradition, exploring how each scripture aligns and contrasts with the other through the pivotal event of Hagar’s banishment to the wilderness. Utilizing a qualitative methodology and comparative approach, this study undertakes a textual and content analysis of relevant literature. This paper argues that how Hagar’s banishment is recounted in Jewish and Islamic traditions significantly influences how her story is understood and interpreted today. These interpretations, shaped by their respective cultural and historical contexts, contribute to differing portrayals of Hagar’s role and social position within the family of Abraham in Jewish and Islamic communities.

Abstract

The discourse surrounding Islamic philosophy has garnered significant attention among scholars, highlighting a multitude of benefits and limitations related to its authenticity and its position as an essential component of Islamic cultural legacy. Some believe that Islamic philosophy is simply a reinvention of Greek philosophical concepts, thus undermining its credibility. Conversely, proponents advocate the integration of Greek philosophical principles with Islamic tenets as a synthesis rather than a simple replication. This article aspires to delve into these diverse perspectives by analyzing the historical transformation of Islamic philosophy, with a spotlight on its initial periods, particularly stressing the impact of Abū Naṣr al-Fārābī (d. 951 CE), a significant figure in Islamic philosophy who synthesized Greek philosophical ideas, notably those of Aristotle and Plato, to construct a unique Islamic philosophical framework. Through a qualitative conceptual analysis, this article evaluates the authoritative dimensions and philosophical disputes between Aristotle and Plato, particularly concerning ontology and epistemology, while accentuating al-Fārābī’s endeavors to harmonize their philosophical positions. This article suggests that al-Fārābī engaged in a critical examination of both Plato's and Aristotle’s perspectives on universal truth and human cognition, which ultimately led him to incorporate their philosophies into a unique Islamic framework.
