Abstract

Richard Dawkins, the most prominent figure of New Atheism, maintains that God and religion can be examined scientifically, positioning the theory of evolution as the central foundation of his argument. For Dawkins, evolutionary theory provides the best explanation for the origin of the universe's complexity, thereby rendering the existence of God unnecessary and setting science in direct opposition to religion. This study critically analyzes Richard Dawkins' scientific atheism from the perspective of the Islamic worldview using a qualitative approach through content analysis of Dawkins' primary works and relevant secondary literature. The findings reveal that Dawkins' rejection of the supernatural and his claim that science is the sole path to truth are rooted in the worldview of scientific naturalism, which reduces reality to its material dimensions while denying any non-empirical aspects of existence. This stands in sharp contrast to the Islamic worldview, which affirms from the outset that the universe is God's creation and that science serves as a means to understand and study nature to strengthen faith in Him. Unlike scientific naturalism, which positions science and religion as mutually contradictory, Islam presents an integrated vision where scientific inquiry and religious faith are complementary rather than oppositional. Consequently, contemporary Muslim scholars have promoted the Islamization of science to protect the Muslim community from the philosophical implications of modern science that marginalize God and religion.

Abstract

The association of Islam with intolerance and radicalism has contributed to negative perceptions of the religion, despite Islam’s essential mission as raḥmatan lil-‘ālamīn. In response to this problem, Haidar Bagir proposes the concept of the Religion of Love, which emphasizes love, compassion, and spirituality as central dimensions of Islamic teaching. This study critically examines Bagir’s concept and evaluates its theological implications for Islamic creed (‘aqīdah). Using a qualitative library research method, the study analyzes Haidar Bagir’s works, relevant literature on Islamic mysticism and theology, and critical responses from contemporary Muslim scholars. The data are examined through descriptive-analytical and critical approaches by comparing Bagir’s views with classical Islamic theological perspectives and the Indonesian Ulama Council’s fatwa on religious pluralism. The findings show that the Religion of Love offers a constructive contribution to presenting Islam as peaceful, moderate, and compassionate. However, if not carefully framed, the concept may be misinterpreted as religious relativism, particularly when love is detached from the principles of tawḥīd and Islamic law. This study concludes that the Religion of Love can serve as an effective approach to countering intolerance and radicalism, provided that it remains firmly grounded in Islamic theological foundations.
