Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to explore the epistemological integration among philosophy, science, and revelation as three essential frameworks in the pursuit of truth and knowledge. Design/methodology/approach – This research applies a qualitative approach with a philosophical-hermeneutical method. It involves descriptive and comparative analysis of primary and secondary sources from classical and contemporary scholars, incorporating Islamic theological discourse, scientific theory, and philosophical reasoning. Findings – The study finds that philosophy provides the rational foundation, science offers empirical evidence, and revelation delivers transcendental truth. The interaction of these three constructs reveals both convergence and tension, yet they are not mutually exclusive. Instead, when integrated, they present a holistic epistemology that supports a comprehensive worldview—balancing reason, observation, and faith. Originality/value – This paper contributes to the discourse on Islamic epistemology by proposing a triadic framework of knowledge that bridges the gap between reason and faith in contemporary knowledge production.

Abstract

In Islamic theology, the concept of destiny (qadar) is a fundamental tenet of faith, representing one of the six pillars that guide every Muslim's belief system. Destiny is understood as the divine decree of Allah SWT, encompassing all events—large and small—predetermined since the beginning of creation. However, this understanding does not equate to passive acceptance; rather, it serves as a foundation that encourages Muslims to strive earnestly and pursue their aspirations. The Qur'an frequently references destiny, often in the context of natural laws and causality, highlighting that divine decrees underpin the order and predictability of the universe. While Allah's will is absolute, humans are granted the freedom to choose their actions, thereby bearing moral responsibility for their choices and their consequences. This balance between divine determination and human agency forms the basis for justice, equality, and the dignity of humankind in Islam. The term "al-qadr" appears in various forms throughout the Qur'an, primarily signifying determination, limitation, control, and glorification, with the most prominent meaning being "to determine." Islamic teachings distinguish between immutable destiny (qadar mubram) and conditional destiny (qadar mu’allaq), emphasizing that while some aspects of fate are unchangeable, others may be influenced by human effort and supplication. Ultimately, the Islamic perspective on destiny harmonizes divine sovereignty with human responsibility, encouraging both trust in Allah and proactive striving in life.

Abstract

Education plays a crucial role in shaping individuals who are competent and prepared to face global challenges. One of the key components of education is the curriculum, which serves as a framework guiding the teaching and learning process. However, existing curricula often fail to respond adequately to the rapid pace of societal change and the evolving demands of the labor market. This study aims to explore the application of the Research and Development (R&D) approach as an evaluative method for curriculum development in education. The R&D approach enables evidence-based, responsive, and continuously evolving curriculum design through systematic stages such as needs analysis, prototype development, field testing, evaluation, and revision. The findings of this research indicate that implementing the R&D model enhances curriculum relevance, instructional effectiveness, and overall learning quality. Evaluation results demonstrate notable improvements in students’ critical thinking and collaboration skills, alongside high satisfaction levels among both teachers and learners. By integrating evaluation outcomes into the curriculum development cycle, educational programs can be continuously refined to align with the demands of the modern era and the workforce. This study concludes that the R&D approach significantly contributes to the creation of more adaptive, innovative, and effective curricula.
