Abstract

Islam and civilization constitute an inseparable unity, as from its very emergence Islam has brought a civilizational concept and mission rooted in dîn (religion) grounded in divine revelation, so that Islamic civilization is known as tamaddun or madaniyyah. Building on this view, this article aims to explicate in detail the meaning and concept of civilization, to compare Western and Islamic civilizations, and to explain the nature of Islam as religion, revelation, thought, and civilization on the basis of reliable historical evidence. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method grounded in literature review and philosophical–historical analysis of key civilizational concepts within both Western and Islamic traditions. The findings show that Islamic civilization is rooted in revelation and historically embodied, among others, through the experience of Madinah as the initial locus for articulating Islamic tamaddun, whereas modern Western civilization tends to be built upon the centrality of human reason and subjectivity, giving rise to the dominance of a secular–cognitive civilization. This comparative analysis underscores the fundamental distinctions between the two, while simultaneously offering a critique of the hegemony of modern Western civilization that tends to neglect the dimensions of revelation and transcendence. The study concludes that, from an Islamic perspective, human reason and intellect should ideally operate in harmony with revelation, and that Islam has historically shaped world civilization for centuries, thereby offering an alternative paradigm for developing a civilization that more evenly balances spiritual, moral, and rational dimensions.

Abstract

This study analyzes the concept of divinity across various religious traditions and its implications for shaping the Islamic worldview. It aims to critically examine how the concept of tauhid in Islam is constructed through theological dialogue with concepts of God in other religions, and to explain its epistemological, ontological, axiological, and practical consequences for the Islamic worldview. The research employs a comparative theology approach by analyzing primary sources (the Al-Qur’an, Hadis, and the Alkitab) alongside relevant secondary literature from classical and contemporary scholars. The findings indicate that the Islamic concept of divinity, which is centered on tauhid and the declaration lā ilāha illā Allāh, is not merely a theological statement but a paradigm that structures every aspect of Muslim life, including ways of understanding reality, values, and human action. Compared with concepts of divinity in Judaism, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism, fundamental differences lie in the understanding of divine simplicity, the configuration of God’s attributes, and the relationship between divine transcendence and immanence. The implications of the Islamic concept of divinity for the worldview include: (1) affirmation of Allah’s absolute sovereignty in the creation and governance of the universe, (2) a distinct understanding of human will and destiny (qadar), (3) reinforcement of the principle of divine justice and human moral responsibility, and (4) the formulation of human life’s purpose as servants who worship sincerely. This study contributes to deepening Islamic theology and reaffirms the relevance of the Islamic concept of divinity for shaping a meaningful worldview in the context of modern life.
