Abstract

This study discusses burhani epistemology as one of the rational methods for acquiring knowledge in the Islamic intellectual tradition. The aim of this research is to understand the concept, philosophical foundations, and relevance of burhani epistemology to the development of knowledge and Islamic education. This study employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach by analyzing various scholarly works and the thoughts of figures such as Al-Kindi, Al-Farabi, and Abed Al-Jabiri. The findings indicate that burhani epistemology emphasizes the use of reason, empirical experience, and rational logic as the basis for discovering truth. This approach plays an important role in shaping critical, analytical, and contextual ways of thinking in understanding Islamic teachings. In education, the application of the burhani concept can enhance rational thinking skills, foster a balance between faith and reason, and shape the moral character of learners. Although it has strengths in providing a rational foundation for knowledge, burhani epistemology also has limitations, as not all truths can be reached by reason alone. Thus, burhani epistemology makes a significant contribution to the formation of a rational, ethical, and contextual paradigm of Islamic scholarship.
