Abstract

This paper examines the transformation of the reading and meaning of the Qur'an by actualizing it in the existing reality. The research method in this paper is exploratory descriptive research, in explanatory research, it is research that aims to describe or describe clearly the problems studied. Exploratory is a method that functions to deepen intellectual studies or to get new ideas about a problem being studied. Arkoun was one of the Islamic thinkers who came from al-Jazair but was heavily influenced by French thought, by collaborating with new ideas in studying Islam, especially in rereading the Qur'an in terms of linguistics and meaning. By looking at the readings that have been done previously, Arkoun assesses that there is a lot of mystical and there are some meanings that are missing from various readings that put the Qur'an into a narrow realm and the readings carried out only focus on a few studies such as theology, Sufism and filth, but also must touch the social conditions according to the conditions of the current reality. Therefore, there is a need for a rereading or transformation of meaning by looking at the new reality and epistemology in interpreting the Qur'an.

Abstract

This study explores the relevance of Al-Farabi’s political ethics in the practice of democracy in Indonesia, with a specific focus on regional elections as a manifestation of people’s sovereignty. Indonesia, as a democratic republic, grants its citizens the right to directly elect their leaders, reflecting the principles of political participation. However, in practice, regional elections are often marred by various problems such as money politics, negative campaigning, vote manipulation, and the rise of identity politics, which contradict the ideals of political ethics. Using a qualitative library research method with a philosophical approach, this study examines Al-Farabi’s ideas on political ethics and their application to contemporary democratic practices. The findings reveal that, first, Al-Farabi emphasizes that the foundation of political ethics lies in the ultimate goal of human life, namely happiness; second, political ethics serve as a means to achieve collective happiness as well as a moral compass for leadership; and third, the application of political ethics in Indonesia’s regional elections remains incomplete due to persistent ethical violations. This research underscores the importance of revisiting classical political thought as a normative framework for strengthening democracy and promoting ethical leadership in Indonesia.
