Abstract

This study aims to explore the development and transformation of Islamic thought from its classical roots to contemporary expressions, with a focus on how it responds to modern global challenges such as democracy, human rights, gender equality, and environmental issues. The theoretical framework draws upon the works of classical and modern Islamic scholars, including Al-Ghazali, Ibn Rushd, Muhammad Abduh, and Fazlur Rahman, emphasizing the dynamic interplay between wahy (revelation) and aql (reason), as well as the concept of ijtihad (independent reasoning) and contextual interpretation. Using a qualitative, descriptive-analytical method, this study analyzes selected texts and scholarly contributions to trace the historical trajectory and current discourse within Islamic thought. The findings indicate that Islamic thought is not monolithic, but rather evolves in response to historical and social contexts. Contemporary Muslim thinkers increasingly emphasize the need for contextualization, ethical renewal, and reinterpretation of Islamic sources to remain relevant in the face of current challenges. These results highlight that modern Islamic thought holds significant potential to contribute to social justice, inclusive governance, and human development when rooted in both textual integrity and contextual awareness. The implication of this research is the need to revitalize Islamic education and scholarly engagement with a focus on critical, reformist, and ethical approaches. The originality of this study lies in its synthesis of classical and modern perspectives within a unified narrative that frames Islamic thought as a living, adaptable intellectual tradition capable of informing contemporary discourse in meaningful ways.

Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the role of Islamic values in shaping interreligious relations within pluralistic societies, focusing on Kenya and Indonesia as comparative case studies. The objective is to analyse how Islamic teachings, particularly the principles of taʿāyush (coexistence), raḥma (compassion), and ʿadl (justice), inform Muslim engagement with non-Muslim communities in diverse socio-political contexts. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework draws upon Qur’anic ethics and the Prophetic tradition as models for peaceful coexistence, contextualized within the broader discourse of religious pluralism and interfaith dialogue. Literature review: Prior studies on Islamic education and interfaith relations emphasize ethical principles like ʿadl, raḥma, and taʿāyush in conflict resolution. However, few compare regional approaches. This study fills that gap by analyzing Islamic peacebuilding practices across Kenya and Indonesia within the framework of the SDGs and religious pluralism. Method: Methodologically, this research employs a qualitative, comparative case study approach, integrating historical analysis, textual interpretation, and contemporary field data from both countries. Results: Findings reveal that Islamic traditions in both Kenya and Indonesia offer rich resources for fostering social cohesion and resisting sectarianism. Kenyan Muslim initiatives emphasize grassroots reconciliation in post-conflict zones, while Indonesian Islamic movements focus on institutional interfaith collaboration and education. These responses align with global peacebuilding frameworks, contributing to the realization of Sustainable Development Goal 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). Implications: The study’s implications highlight the potential of Islamic interfaith engagement to mitigate religious tensions and promote inclusive governance. Novelty: Its novelty lies in the cross-regional comparison of Islamic interfaith strategies and its grounding in both classical Islamic sources and contemporary global development agendas. The research offers a nuanced, actionable model for faith-based peacebuilding in multicultural contexts.

Abstract

Objective: Examining the conflict between traditional interpretations and modern readings, this study explores how Islamic doctrines and prophetic traditions influence Southeast Asian Muslim communities' conceptions of equality. The goal is to examine how social, economic, and gender equality are framed in pluralistic cultural contexts using Hadith and Qur'anic teaching. Theoretical framework: The study is grounded in Islamic jurisprudence, ethics, and social theory, exploring how classical sources interact with modern interpretations to inform notions of justice, human dignity, and communal harmony. The framework situates these interpretations within ongoing debates about tradition, reform, and socio-religious adaptation in Southeast Asia. Literature review: While modern scholarship increasingly focuses on gender justice, economic justice, and interreligious tolerance, earlier research emphasizes the emphasis of ancient Islamic scriptures on spiritual and community equality.  This study fills a gap in the literature by combining field observations and textual analysis in a Southeast Asian environment. Method: This study employs a qualitative, field-based methodology that combines interviews with Islamic scholars, educators, and community leaders with observations made in madrasahs, pesantrens, and places of worship. Results: The results show that Muslims in Southeast Asia are actively discussing what equality means, striking a balance between modern social realities and devotion to traditional prophetic traditions.  While traditional readings continue to influence cultural and spiritual standards, contemporary reinterpretations highlight gender justice, economic parity, and interreligious tolerance as key topics. Implications: In order to promote more inclusive and egalitarian Muslim societies, the study emphasizes the possibilities of fusing classic Islamic sources with contemporary social imperatives. The findings of this study can help religious leaders, educators, and legislators advance social justice and human dignity. Novelty: The comparative, field-based methodology of the study, which combines Hadith analysis, Islamic theory, and empirical observations in Southeast Asia, is innovative. It offers a practical framework for comprehending equality in modern Muslim situations.
