Abstract

This study examines the theological thought of Jamaluddin Al-Afghani, focusing on its relevance to contemporary global challenges and sustainable development. Al-Afghani emphasized liberation, independence, and the active role of theology in societal progress, framing it as a solution-oriented discipline beyond mere ritual. Contextualized within the complexities of the modern era, particularly the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this research employs library research with a descriptive-analytical method and a philosophical-critical approach. Data sources include academic journals, theses, and scholarly works related to theology and Al-Afghani’s contributions. The findings reveal that Al-Afghani’s theological thought extends beyond ritualistic dimensions, offering practical solutions that inspire human agency, scientific advancement, and social justice. His ideas are universally applicable, promoting efforts to empower the marginalized and encourage the pursuit of knowledge for the betterment of society. The study contributes to academic discourse by demonstrating the relevance of Al-Afghani’s thought as a critical framework for addressing contemporary challenges, enriching the intersection of theology and sustainable development in both Muslim and global contexts.

Abstract

Gender equality is one of the goals to achieve a sustainable and better life in facing global challenges. This research is a literature study using descriptive-analytical method. The approach used is a philosophical-critical approach. The philosophical-critical approach is necessary because it aims to pursue the researcher's ideas that can have an impact on substantial matters in society. This exploration tries to reveal the harmonization of Asghar Ali Engineer's feminist perspective of gender equality with Islam and its relevance to the SDGs critically. Data sources in this research are obtained by collecting primary and secondary data. The results of this study show that in Asghar Ali Engineer's view, men and women both have rights in the social sphere that refer to the principles of justice and humanity. Engineer refers to the Qur'an to show that the holy book explicitly recognizes that people must be treated fairly, regardless of gender, and must accept the consequences of their actions in the same way, whether they are men or women. The inherited patriarchal culture is due to differences in understanding. Engineer's view shows that religion can be a solution when understood normatively and contextually, including to realize the SDGs.
