Abstract

Religious moderation is a religious approach that emphasizes moderation, tolerance, and respect for differences. In the world of education, this approach is important for shaping the character of students who are peaceful and inclusive. The Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia has responded to the challenges of intolerance and radicalism by introducing the idea of the Love Curriculum, an approach that integrates the values of love into the learning process. This curriculum is based on four main pillars: love for God, fellow human beings, the environment, and the homeland. Not as a new subject, the Love Curriculum is designed to incorporate values of love into all subjects and interactions within the educational environment. This article uses a literature review approach to educational policies, religious writings, and academic research findings to analyze how the Love Curriculum can serve as a preventive strategy against radicalism. The review results indicate that internalizing the value of love in the curriculum has the potential to create a peaceful school culture, strengthen national identity, and minimize religious exclusivity. However, implementing the Love Curriculum requires teacher readiness, adequate training, and support from a harmonious educational ecosystem. Thus, the Love Curriculum is an important innovation in strengthening religious moderation in Indonesian education.

Abstract

Relations between East and West in modern scholarly studies have long been dominated by Orientalism, which positions the East as an object of analysis and places it in a subordinate relationship to the West. As a critical response to this dominance, Occidentalism emerges as an approach that examines the West from non-Western perspectives in a reflective and critical manner. Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi is one of the contemporary Muslim thinkers who holds a strategic position within this discourse, particularly through his critique of the secular rational foundations that underpin modern Western civilization. This study aims to analyze Al-Faruqi’s Occidentalist perspective in criticizing Western secular rationality and its implications for the crisis of modern civilization. The research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach, focusing on an analysis of Al-Faruqi’s major works and other relevant literature. The findings indicate several key points: first, Western secularism is regarded by Al-Faruqi as the primary cause of the dichotomy between religion, science, and ethics; second, secular rationality is considered to have failed to provide a transcendent foundation and moral purpose for human life; third, Western epistemological hegemony has generated a global humanitarian and moral crisis; and fourth, the principle of tawḥīd is proposed as an alternative, integrative, and holistic paradigm for civilizational development.

Abstract

This study examines the concept of the eternity of the world (qidam al-‘ālam) in the perspective of Muslim philosophers and its critique in Tahafut al-Falasifah by Imam al-Ghazali. The research aims to analyze the differences between al-Farabi and Ibn Sina, who argue that the universe is temporally eternal through the theory of emanation (al-fayḍ), and the Islamic theological view which affirms that the world was created out of nothing (ḥudūṡ al-‘ālam). This study employs a qualitative method with a library research approach, using descriptive-analytical and comparative-critical analysis. The primary source is Tahafut al-Falasifah, supported by relevant secondary literature. The findings indicate that the philosophers conceive the relationship between God and the world as a necessary and eternal causal relation, implying that the universe has no temporal beginning, although it remains ontologically dependent upon God. In contrast, al-Ghazali rejects this necessity and asserts that God is a voluntary agent (fā‘il mukhtār) who creates the world through His free will. This debate has had a significant impact on the development of Islamic theology and philosophy, particularly in defining the respective roles of reason and revelation in addressing metaphysical questions.
