Abstract

The debate on the relationship between rationality and spirituality has been a central theme in classical Islamic thought. Al-Ghazali (d. 1111 CE) occupies a unique position in this debate by criticizing rationalist philosophy in Tahāfut al-Falāsifah and establishing a synthesis between reason and mystical experience in Iḥyā' 'Ulūm al-Dīn and al-Munqidh min al-Ḍalāl. This study aims to analyze how Al-Ghazali formulated Sufism as an epistemological bridge between rationality and spirituality in classical Islam. Using a qualitative approach based on literature study, this study examines Al-Ghazali's main texts and compares them with the thoughts of contemporary philosophers and Sufis. The results show that Al-Ghazali did not reject rationality completely, but positioned reason as a limited instrument that needs to be equipped with spiritual illumination (kashf). This integration allows Sufism to become part of Sunni orthodoxy while providing an epistemological basis for classical Islamic thought. This finding has implications for strengthening the relevance of Sufism in contemporary scientific discourse, especially in developing a paradigm that accommodates both critical reasoning and spiritual awareness in Islamic studies.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has brought substantial changes in the production, distribution, and validation of Islamic knowledge, triggering fundamental epistemological challenges regarding the authority and legitimacy of religious discourse in the social media era. This study critically analyzes how digitalization transforms traditional religious authority and reconstructs the epistemology of contemporary Islamic thought, focusing on shifting patterns of production, validation, and distribution of religious knowledge. Using a qualitative approach that integrates literature studies and Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), this study analyzes academic literature and digital content to uncover the ideological dimensions and power relations behind epistemological shifts in online Islamic discourse. The results show that digitalization shifts knowledge production from an institutional-hierarchical framework to a more flexible, participatory, and algorithm-driven space, where validation now relies more on popularity metrics than scientific accuracy. This shift gives rise to epistemic populism that replaces scientific authority with performative influence, implicating a decline in methodological depth and the polarization of Islamic identity. This study concludes that digitalization acts as an agent of epistemological transformation that demands the development of a hybrid Islamic epistemology, which combines classical scientific values with digital participatory methods to maintain scientific integrity.
