Abstract

This study analyzes Islamic political philosophy in al-Farabi's thought. This research is a literature research that uses descriptive analysis methods and qualitative analysis. Al-Farabi put forward the concept of al-Madinah al-Fadilah to reconcile faith and reason. The concept of government in al-Farabi's theory is based on the leadership style and tradition of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), an apostle and caliph. In addition, in this theory the concept of good character is influenced by the ideas of Plato and Aristotle, especially the idea that views humans as social beings. Al-Farabi was also heavily influenced by the social and political movements of the Abbasid period, political conflicts, riots, political stability, and insecurity were the main causes of this idea. The principles embodied in almost all forms of intellectuals born outside the Islamic world show great differences with Greek philosophy, especially in addressing the challenges of the times, to God and the world These influences show that Islamic thought is different from other forms of thought.

Abstract

One of the most knowledgeable philosophers in his field is a philosophy that inspired him to think critically, because his writings contain the political views of Al-Madina Al-Fadillah. This study analyzes Islamic political philosophy in Al-Farabi's thoughts. This research is a library research, and the methods used in this study are descriptive analysis and qualitative analysis. Al-Farabi put forward the concept of al-Madinah al-Fadilah to reconcile faith and reason. The concept of government in Al-Farabi's theory is based on the leadership style and traditions of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, a messenger and caliph. In addition, in this theory the concept of good character is influenced by the ideas of Plato and Aristotle, especially the idea that views humans as social beings. In addition, al-Farabi was greatly influenced by social and political movements during the Abbasid era, political conflict, unrest, political instability and insecurity were the main causes of the birth of this idea. The principles contained in almost all intellectual forms born outside the Islamic world show significant differences from Greek philosophy, especially in responding to the challenges of the times, towards God and the world, towards revelation and thought, towards worship and thought. Furthermore, when Islamic philosophers discussed nature and humanity, they were only enlightened by the spirit of Islamic teachings or the authority of the Quran. These influences demonstrate that Islamic thought differs from other forms of thought.
