This article examines the paradigm of criticism in contemporary Islamic thought with a focus on philosophical analysis and its methodological implications. Through a literature study approach, this study explains how criticism as an epistemological paradigm develops in Islamic thought, which emphasizes the integration of reason, revelation, and experience. The study is conducted on the theoretical basis of criticism that originated from Kant's thought, then how the paradigm evolved and was adapted in the context of Islamic thought with distinctive characteristics. The results of the analysis show that the paradigm of criticism in contemporary Islamic thought has a distinctive feature in the form of a "tawazun" (balance) approach that harmonizes reason, revelation, and empirical experience. Its methodological implications are seen in the development of the jadal and burhan methods that influence Islamic epistemology and metaphysics, as well as their relevance in various contemporary Islamic disciplines. This study contributes to the development of philosophical discourse on the paradigm of criticism in Islamic thought and its relevance in facing the challenges of modernity.
