Abstract

This study discusses the tendency of contemporary scholarship to reduce kashf to merely an intuitive or psychological experience, thereby overlooking its epistemological significance in Islamic philosophy of science. Its aim is to critically reassess the position of kashf in al-Ghazālī's epistemology and to construct a complementary epistemological framework related to modern scientific observation. This research employs a qualitative philosophical approach using Gadamerian hermeneutics, focusing on the interpretative analysis of al-Ghazālī's works, namely al-Munqidh min al-Ḍalāl and Iḥyā’ ‘Ulūm al-Dīn, and situating them in a dialogue with contemporary philosophy of science. The analysis involves three stages: text interpretation, epistemological comparison, and conceptual synthesis. Findings show that kashf in al-Ghazālī's framework functions not only as mystical intuition but also as a structured epistemic mode based on spiritual discipline, inner verification, and moral purification. This study indicates that kashf complements empirical observation by overcoming its limitations in accessing metaphysical dimensions, while maintaining its own criteria of internal validity. Based on this, the study formulates a complementary epistemological model consisting of three integrated domains: empirical (sensory observation), rational (intellectual reasoning), and intuitive-transcendental (kashf). This model provides a more comprehensive epistemological framework that allows dialogue between Islamic intellectual tradition and modern science, particularly in expanding the scope of valid knowledge beyond empirical reductionism.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the manifestation of self-transcendence in the devotional experience of a mosque caretaker at the Jogokariyan Mosque in Yogyakarta. A qualitative approach was used through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, with thematic data analysis techniques and source triangulation to ensure data validity. The findings indicate that the involvement of mosque caretakers iso no longer driven by fulfilling personal needs, but has transcended self-interest to serve the community and divine values. This aligns with Abraham Maslow's theory of self-transcendence, which places transcendence as the pinnacle of human motivation, when individuals direct themselves toward goals broader than personal interests. The devotion of caretakers at the Jogokariyan Mosque demonstrates that religious activities can become a space for spiritual and social actualization that produces profound inner change. Thus, the caretaker's experience reflects an integrated process of transcendence between spirituality, social concern, and self-maturation, which simultaneously serves as the foundation for the success of the mosque movement based on congregational service, as well as strengthening the role of the mosque as a center for social transformation and the formation of leadership based on transcendental values.
