Abstract

The human civilization in the current digital era is marked by advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and reflective thought on human existence. This article aims to examine and to compare the pinnacle of human existence in the digital era from the perspectives of Muhammad Iqbal and digital anthropology. The issues discussed are the concepts of Insan Kamil in Iqbal and Homo Deus in digital anthropology, as well as the similarities and differences. The method used is library research with philosophical approach. The data obtained is analyzed qualitatively and comparatively. The results of this article include: the pinnacle of human existence, in Iqbal’s perspective, is understood as Insan Kamil, which is the best representation of divine vicegerent. Meanwhile, in digital anthropology, it can be understood as Homo Deus, which is human surpassing traditional biological limitations and approaching divine characteristics. Both perspectives share similarities in motivation to enhance well-being of humanity, recognizing evolution of human life, understanding the unlimited potential of each individual, and emphasizing the importance of obedience to laws and ethics. Whereas the differences emerge in applicability, religious aspects, achievement foundations, views on God, and the stance on digital technology use. Practically, this discussion raises indecision among practitioners due to the development and utilization of technology clearly separating these concepts. The recommendation for further research is alternative theories that bridge these intersecting ideas.

Abstract

The modern era requires thinkers, including Muslim scholars, to continue to play a role in the people’s development of following the rise of Western civilization since the 18th century. Reform (tajdid) is an expression that describes serious and continuous efforts to deal with this problem. The existence of an understanding that is contrary to these efforts can thwart the revival goal of the people. On the one hand, there is a view of conserving religious texts, on the other hand, there is a view encourages religion to adapt to the orientation of the human life. Yusuf Qardhawi is a contemporary scholar who is very authoritative in addressing the phenomena that occur through a number of his works which assess the importance of the wasat}iyyah principle in initiating reform. This literature study uses a qualitative approach concludes that the realm of reform (tajdid) for Qardhawi is the change of something from one situation to a better and more important condition (including reform of faith, reform of understanding, reform of fiqh and the law therein, as well as reform of preaching). This whole thing cannot be separated from the Al-Qur'an and Sunnah as the foundation for maintaining the principle of balance. For him, anything that is separated from the provisions of Divine revelation and only relies on human abilities will tend to produce contradictions. A reform (tajdid) concept that does not maintain the originality of revelation will create a pseudo-reform. Because according to him, the revival in the phase called “Ushwah Islāmiyyah” requires every Muslim to cultivate love for the religion by believing in the perfection of its teachings without feeling inferior or dazzled by other civilizations.

Abstract

This research presents critical study of Nahdlatul Ulama’s dynamic discourse on social change. The background of this study is rooted in the significant role of NU in the history of Indonesia, particularly in the realm of cultural and religious ideologies. The research methodology employed encompasses a combination of qualitative approaches and document analysis to attain a comprehensive and profound comprehension, to understand how the NU tradition is integrated into moderate thinking and the extent to which the transformation of such thinking can act as a catalyst for societal progress. The theoretical framework of this research encompasses a profound understanding of the traditional values of NU, the concept of moderation as the cornerstone of thinking, and how thinking evolves in the face of contemporary challenges. The results of the analysis indicate that NU traditions not only persist in everyday life but are also effectively assimilated into the modern context. Moderation, as a pivotal aspect of NU thought, emerges as a crucial component in promoting interreligious dialogue and contributing to political stability. The transformation of NU's thinking is evident in its response to advancements in technology and science. Although NU thinking encounters challenges, particularly in preserving cultural heritage, this study underscores the opportunities for the development of NU thinking in the future. The conclusions of this study offer a critical evaluation of NU's impact on societal change and emphasize the significance of comprehending and permeating traditional values while remaining relevant in the face of evolving times. The implications of this research hold valuable insights for academics, practitioners, and policymakers in supporting the positive development of a society founded on the moderate values of NU.

Abstract

This article discusses the debate on the issue of ru'yatullah between Abu Hasan Al-Asy'ari who said that seeing God is something that is possible, this statement was then opposed by Alqadhi Abdul Jabbar he argued that it was something impossible, even though they used the same arguments for their respective opinions, and each of them has an interpretation of the verse. This incident happened because there were no definite arguments about the possibility of seeing God or not in the afterlife. Therefore, the dichotomy between groups in this discussion does not drop the status of infidels for those who disagree with them. This article uses a type of literature review with an aqidah approach and the method used is a descriptive method and an inductive method, and a comparative method to compare the two understandings and reveal some similarities and differences in their understanding. The result is that the researchers found several methods used by Al-Qadhi Abdul Jabbar in discussing Aqidah, namely prioritizing reason rather than naql, making reason as a proposition, rejecting khabar wahid and using arguments from ta'wil al kalamiy. Meanwhile, the method of Abu Hasan Al-Asy'ari in discussing the issue of Aqidah is mediating between naql and reason, using aqli arguments, accepting ta'wil al kalamiy. The view of Al-Qadhi Abdul Jabbar in ru'yatullah is of the opinion that Allah cannot be seen in this world or in the hereafter, in contrast to Abu Hasan Al-Ash'ari according to him the meaning of the word ru'yah is to know the knowledge and power of Allah, they believe that the people The believer will see his Lord on the Day of Resurrection even if he does not know how. Not through the ability to see that is found in the ordinary eye, but with the ability that is bestowed by Allah Swt.

Abstract

The spirit of education was renewed in the age of the Prophet Muhammad saw. through a talaqqī method in the Majlis that used to be conducted in the mosque. This system then improved over time, particularly during the Abbasid era, when many educational institutes were built to preserve Islamic civilization. The Madrasa al-Mustanṣiriyya, constructed in 1234 AD during the reign of al-Mustanṣir Billah, is one of the most renowned institutions. This madrasah is well-known for its complete system. This study aims to demonstrate the educational system's role in promoting civilization through the Madrasa al-Mustanṣiriyya, which will be discussed first on the social dimension in the era of al-Mustanṣir Billah in order to comprehend the establishment of Madrasa Mustanṣiriyya, its educational system, and its collapse. Thus, the qualitative method will be employed in this work, along with a historical study approach gleaned from books, journals, and related publications. This research discovered that the purpose of Madrasa al-Mustanṣiriyya, which was established during the declining age of the Abbasid, was to restore the majesty of this dynasty. Despite the chaos, the Caliph successfully developed the spirit of science and education through the Madrasa al-Mustanṣiriyya. Furthermore, it provides facilities for academic support through the waqf system. Unfortunately, the Mongol invasion of Baghdad succeeded in destroying it.

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the model of creativity initiated by al-Ghazali. His contribution on creative thinking seems relevant to be studied as an answer to the problem of cheese and stagnant thinking to solve various problems. Creativity that boils down to the ability of reason is not just a creation to seek something new, but there is a divine element emitted to the human mind. Therefore, in facing the problems of the Ummah that arise, creative solutions are needed that are in line with Islamic teachings. However, what happens in society most problems cannot be resolved and even tend to end in conflicts and conflicts between groups. In presenting this concept, al-Ghazali analyzed al-Asmā’ al-Ḥusnās theological terms such as al-Khāliq, al-Bāri’, al-Muṣawwir, al-Badī’. Then relate to other aspects with the power of the internal senses such as common sense, thinking, imagination, estimation, and memory. This article is a literature review that applies qualitative methods through content analysis to express what is written in al-Ghazali’s works. Two findings in this study. First, al-Ghazali’s concept of creativity is principled from al-Asmā’ al-Ḥusnā which is implemented by humans in everyday life by following what is exemplified by Allah, the Almighty, in His attributes. Man’s potential to think creatively follows God’s creativity in creating His creatures. Second, human creativity can be seen from the role and results of the relationship between the five senses and the internal senses of a human being which continues to be developed in daily activities. These two senses work together to show humans the process of how to perceive the surrounding reality and then create to develop it. This implies sincerity in utilizing creativity in thinking to provide solutions to mankind to various problems in life.

Abstract

This research analyzes Imām al-Shawkānī’s thoughts on war ethics within the Just War theory perspective, using the book “Nayl al-Awṭār.” The Israel-Palestine conflict is seen as an example of the abuse of power in just war ethics to the detriment of Palestinian civilians. Just War theory emphasises justice, proportionality and protection of civilians, yet Israel's military operations often violate these principles. Imām al-Shawkānī's thought in Nayl al-Awṭār had an Islamic perspective that emphasised justice and humanity in war. Integrating Just War principles with al-Shawkānī's ethics of war can provide a strong ethical framework to evaluate military actions in the Israel-Palestine conflict and seek a more just solution. Through a library research method and descriptive analysis, this study aims to contribute to the explanation of the connection between religion, ethics, and armed conflict, while promoting international peace and justice. Its practical implications highlight the significance of strengthening Islamic values in facing foreign cultural dominance, while its contemporary relevance underscores the necessity of upholding international law and human rights conventions in addressing armed conflicts. Thus, this research not only provides new insights into the ethics of war in Islam but also highlights the importance of actions to uphold humanity and justice in global armed conflicts.

Abstract

The article focuses on the integration of Islamic values and Indonesian nationalism as interpreted by Hamka. In contemporary Indonesian society, there is a recurring tension between religious values and national identity, often resulting in societal discord and fragmented national unity. The purpose of this study is to analyze and elucidate Hamka’s perspectives on the harmonization of Islamic teachings and Indonesian nationalism. By examining Hamka’s works and thoughts, the study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how Islamic values can coexist and support the principles of Indonesian nationalism. The method used in this research is a descriptive-analytical method with an integration and interconnection approach. The primary data used in this research are Hamka's works. At the same time, the secondary data in this research are books, journal articles, and other websites that discuss Hamka's thoughts. The results showed that in applying and integrating Islamic values in the frame of nationality and Indonesianness, Hamka divided it into three main thoughts. First, Islam and the vision of humanity. The vision of Islam is a religion for all mankind and humanity and religion for the next generation, so that religious da'wah is sustainable, renewed, and emphasized to oneself the family, and society; Second, nationality and freedom. The spirit of nationality arises from true faith and does not break away from the roots of "tawhid"; Third, Indonesianness and welfare.

Abstract

This research explores the relationship between the concept of Khilafah in the Risale-i Nur and the "Zero Waste" movement in Indonesia. The study utilizes a literature review, including a compilation of Risale-I Nur, data from the Zero Waste program in Indonesia's National Waste Management Information System (SIPSN), and related literature. This data is then qualitatively analyzed and subjected to content analysis to describe the relevance and implications of it concept on the Indonesia Zero Waste movement.  The research demonstrates that the concept of Khilafah transcends the anthropocentric and ecocentric perspectives, emphasizing human responsibility towards the environment. The research further illustrates how the concept of Khilafah utilizes the "Law of Purification" as a foundation for the "Zero Waste" concept. Despite the progress made by Indonesia in waste management, significant challenges remain. The research highlights the role of the Khilafah concept in fostering religious awareness and sensitivity within the "Zero Waste" movements. It elucidates that the connection between the Nursian Khilafah and the "Zero Waste" movements constitutes a religious basis and sensitivity that requires continuous attention. The research is expected to provide profound insights into the potential of the Nursian Khilafah in addressing waste problems and supporting the "Zero Waste" movement in Indonesia

Abstract

Tasawwuf, or Islamic mysticism, occupies a prominent place in Islamic studies. Its literature has contributed greatly to the development of Islamic thought, ethics, and education. However, despite the role and impact of the Sufism literature, it is undeniable that the mapping and its relevance to other studies in a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of this work is lacking. To address this gap, it is critical to explore and measure the scientific outcomes, dissemination, and impact of research related to Sufism mapping. In this bibliometric study, a systematic approach is used to analyze a wide range of academic literature. This analysis begins by collecting relevant research articles from the Scopus database, papers from leading academic databases and repositories and then screening with several filters. Furthermore, we used bibliometric techniques, including citation analysis, co-authorship networks, and keyword mapping, to assess trends, patterns, and connections in the Sufism mapping literature. In conclusion, this bibliometric study offers valuable insights into the scientific contribution of Sufism literature which is closely related to other studies, such as spirituality, mental health, politics, and others. By mapping intellectual networks and identifying influential works and authors, this will facilitate future research directions and promote a greater understanding of the historical and contemporary significance of mapping Sufism studies.
