Abstract

This article is a review of the book Tahafut At-Tahafut, written by Ibn Rusyd. The main focus of the discussion is Ibn Rusyd's criticism of Al-Ghazali's view of the concept of Eternity of the Universe (Qidam al-‘Alam), which highlights differences in understanding the origins, eternity, and relationship between time and motion in the context of the creation of the universe. The ideas and findings in this book are very useful for understanding Ibn Rushd's thinking more deeply in the context of classical Islamic philosophy. Ibn Rushd's criticism serves as a means to foster critical thinking among Muslims, so that they do not easily fall into blind imitation. The results of the study show that Tahafut al-Tahafut is Ibn Rushd's rational defense of philosophy and his attempt to harmonize reason with revelation. He emphasized that nature depends on the eternal will of God and made a significant contribution to the development of Islamic rationalism and Western thought. Despite its shortcomings in terms of linguistic complexity and heavy arguments, this work remains valuable as an important foundation for dialogue between Islamic philosophy and theology.

Abstract

This journal examines the revival and modernization of the Islamic world from the 18th to the 20th centuries (1701-2000). This period was an important time in Islamic history when various regions of the Islamic world underwent social, political, economic, and intellectual changes in response to internal decline and the influence of Western colonialism. The purpose of this study is to provide an in-depth understanding and insight into the process of the revival of Muslims, the movement to renew thought, and modernization efforts in various fields such as education, government, and religion. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a literature study technique, namely examining primary and secondary literature sources relevant to the theme of Islamic revival and modernization. The results of the study show the emergence of reformist figures such as Muhammad bin Abdul Wahab, Jamaluddin al-Afghani, Muhammad Abduh, Muhammad Iqbal, and from Indonesia, KH. Ahmad Dahlan and KH. Hasyim Asy'ari. They had ideas to modernize and conclusion reform Islam to suit the challenges of the times. Furthermore, this modernization process not only strengthened Islamic identity but also paved the way for the intellectual and political revival of Muslims in the modern era.

Abstract

The study of the dynamics of Arabic civilization and Islamic studies during the Pre-Prophetic period (570–610 CE) is highly significant and deserves deeper scholarly attention. This is because discussions surrounding this period continue to generate ongoing academic debate. This paper aims to examine three main aspects. First, the paradigm of Arabic civilization and Islamic studies during the Pre-Prophetic era. Second, the internal and external factors influencing these dynamics. Third, the positive and negative implications of these dynamics during the Pre-Prophetic period. This research employs a library-based method using an article/paper review approach grounded in Harold Lasswell’s theoretical framework. Data were collected through systematic literature review procedures and analyzed using content analysis techniques. The findings reveal three major points. First, the paradigms of Arabic civilization during the Pre-Prophetic period took three forms: (1) tribal solidarity, (2) adherence to Wastani religion (idol worship), and (3) a largely illiterate (ummiy) society. Second, internally, three factors influenced these dynamics: (1) tribal fanaticism and strong loyalty to tradition, (2) dominance in trade and commerce, and (3) eloquence in poetry. Externally, three factors also played significant roles: (1) Jewish and Christian communities, (2) international trade routes, and (3) the noble character of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Third, the positive implications of the dynamics of the Arabic language and Islamic studies during this period include: (1) strong social solidarity, (2) moral awareness and a sense of justice, and (3) the development of Arabic as a meaningful and guiding language in life. Meanwhile, the negative implications include: (1) intellectual arrogance, (2) social inequality, and (3) cultural resistance. In conclusion, the dynamics of Arabic civilization and Islamic studies prior to Prophethood constituted a historical foundation that shaped the social, cultural, and intellectual structure of Arab society, while simultaneously paving the way for the emergence of Islamic civilization before the mission of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Abstract

Digitalizing religious bureaucracy represents a contemporary manifestation of the state's efforts to achieve public welfare through administrative order. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Marriage Management Information System (SIMKAH) at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) through the lens of Siyasah Dusturiyah (Islamic Constitutional Law). The central question explores how SIMKAH fosters service quality and ensures reliable administrative certainty for prospective brides and grooms. Employing a qualitative method, data were gathered through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation with KUA officials. The findings demonstrate that SIMKAH plays a pivotal role in manifesting administrative professionalism (al-itqan wa al-dhabt al-idari), information transparency as a form of power entrustment (al-shafafiyyah wa al-mas’uliyyah), and accessibility of services (taysir al-khidmah) to guarantee legal certainty (al-yaqin al-qanuni). Consequently, marriage documents are not merely administrative requirements but serve as instruments to protect the public by mitigating data discrepancies and maladministration. SIMKAH is proven to have shifted the KUA service paradigm from traditional-clerical patterns toward modern, accountable, and technocratic governance. This study concludes that the digitalization of marriage registration is a fundamental foundation in strengthening the state's function to protect citizens' rights (hifdz al-huquq) in accordance with the principles of justice in Islamic constitutionalism

Abstract

Relations between East and West in modern scholarly studies have long been dominated by Orientalism, which positions the East as an object of analysis and places it in a subordinate relationship to the West. As a critical response to this dominance, Occidentalism emerges as an approach that examines the West from non-Western perspectives in a reflective and critical manner. Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi is one of the contemporary Muslim thinkers who holds a strategic position within this discourse, particularly through his critique of the secular rational foundations that underpin modern Western civilization. This study aims to analyze Al-Faruqi’s Occidentalist perspective in criticizing Western secular rationality and its implications for the crisis of modern civilization. The research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach, focusing on an analysis of Al-Faruqi’s major works and other relevant literature. The findings indicate several key points: first, Western secularism is regarded by Al-Faruqi as the primary cause of the dichotomy between religion, science, and ethics; second, secular rationality is considered to have failed to provide a transcendent foundation and moral purpose for human life; third, Western epistemological hegemony has generated a global humanitarian and moral crisis; and fourth, the principle of tawḥīd is proposed as an alternative, integrative, and holistic paradigm for civilizational development.

Abstract

The concept of the state in Islam is one of the most fundamental yet controversial discourses in Islamic political thought. This article examines the symbolic relationship between religion (al-din) and the state (al-dawlah) from historical, theological, and comparative perspectives. The objective of this study is to analyze the conceptual construction of the Islamic state, map the intellectual debates between the paradigms of integration and separation, and evaluate their relevance within the context of contemporary Muslim politics. The findings indicate that the relationship between al-din wa al-dawlah is not a single monolithic entity but rather a spectrum encompassing models of symbolic theocracy, Islamic democracy, and a civil state grounded in Islamic values. The integration paradigm, represented by al-Mawardi and Ibn Khaldun, emphasizes divine legitimacy as the foundation of political authority. In contrast, the functional separation paradigm, popularized by Ali Abd al-Raziq and later reformulated by Fazlur Rahman, positions religion as a source of moral guidance without requiring it to function as a formal instrument of the state. The study concludes that the concept of al-din wa al-dawlah is more appropriately understood as a dynamic and dialectical relationship that continues to evolve in response to changing socio-political contexts, rather than as a fixed and ahistorical formula

Abstract

This article discusses the dynamics and challenges faced by muslims in the era of modernization, marked by the rapid development of science, technology, and globalization. Modernization brings varous changes in social, cultural. Economic, and relegious aspects that influence the mindset and behavior of muslim communities. On one hand, modernazation opens great opportunities for the progress of muslims through access to education, technological innovation, and global participation. On the other hand, challenges arise such as identiy crisis, shiffing moral values, secularization, and weak understanding of religious teachings. This article uses a descriptive qualitative approach to analyze how muslims respond to these changes. The results of the study indicate that an adaptive, critical and selective attitude is needed in facing modernization, while still adhering to the principles of islamic teachings. The integration of islamic values and contemporary developments is key to maintaining a balance between progress and religious identity. Thus, muslims can play an active role in building an advanced civilization without losing their spiritual foundation.

Abstract

The modern era is characterized by rapid urbanization, secularization, and materialism in large cities such as Medan, which have created significant spiritual challenges for Buddhist communities. The pressures of multicultural urban life often erode the depth of religious practice and the connection with the transcendent dimension. This study examines the role of mindfulness as a relevant approach to revitalizing the spirituality and religious practices of Buddhists in Medan by integrating full awareness rooted in Buddhist traditions, particularly the Satipatthana Sutta, Vipassana, and Samatha. This research employs a qualitative method based on library research. Data were collected from primary sources such as the Tipitaka, Suttas, and classical Buddhist literature, as well as secondary sources including scientific journals, vihara activity reports (such as those from Vihara Borobudur and Maha Vihara Maitreya), and empirical studies on mindfulness in Indonesia. The analysis was conducted using thematic content analysis, hermeneutic interpretation, and comparative approaches. The discussion reveals that mindfulness is practiced through mindful breathing, mindful eating, and the Day of Mindfulness programs held at various viharas in Medan. These practices strengthen meditation discipline, reduce dukkha (suffering), enhance equanimity, and build mental resilience amid urban dynamics. However, their implementation faces challenges, including resistance from traditionalist groups who are concerned about the simplification of teachings and the separation of sati from the core Buddhist framework of sila (ethics), samadhi (concentration), and panna (wisdom), as well as accessibility issues for the community. The study concludes that mindfulness has strong potential to serve as an effective bridge between classical Mahayana traditions and the needs of modern urban society in Medan, provided it is implemented in an integrative manner that does not undermine the essence of Buddhist teachings.

Abstract

This study aims to understand the Islamic perspective on library collection preservation. This approach is not merely about library management but also combines modern preservation practices with Islamic principles, such as the obligation to preserve the heritage of knowledge for future generations. The goal is to demonstrate that preservation is not merely an administrative task but also a moral act of worship that aligns with Islamic teachings on preserving the authenticity of knowledge, as emphasized in the hadith regarding remembering, conveying, and recording knowledge. This article applies a qualitative research method through descriptive analysis. Data collection was conducted by researching and studying relevant literature on library collection preservation from an Islamic perspective. A literature review is a written summary of articles, books, and other documents that explain theories and information, both past and present, regarding the topic and literature. Therefore, the approach taken in this work is a literature study with an emphasis on analyzing, summarizing, and collecting literature related to library collection preservation. The results of this study indicate that from an Islamic perspective, preservation of collections is a responsibility to protect the heritage of knowledge for future generations, in accordance with teachings that emphasize the need to maintain sustainability and not damage the environment.

Abstract

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has created significant opportunities while simultaneously raising ethical challenges in various aspects of human life, including misinformation, privacy violations, algorithmic bias, and the diminishing accountability of technology-assisted decision-making. These challenges highlight the need for an ethical framework that is grounded not only in technological considerations but also in strong moral principles. This study aims to analyze the ethical principles of Artificial Intelligence from the perspective of the Prophet's Hadith through a philosophical examination of the relationship between humans and technology. The research employs a qualitative approach using library research as its primary method. Primary data were collected from authoritative Hadith compilations and their classical commentaries, while secondary data were obtained from literature on Islamic philosophy, technology ethics, official AI ethics documents, and relevant scholarly publications. Data were collected through documentation techniques and analyzed using a descriptive-analytical approach by identifying Hadith related to ethical values, interpreting their meanings through Hadith commentaries, and contextualizing them within Islamic philosophical thought and contemporary AI ethics discourse. The findings reveal four fundamental ethical principles derived from the Prophet's Hadith: trustworthiness and responsibility (amanah), truthfulness and information verification (tabayyun), the prevention of harm (lā ḍarar wa lā ḍirār), and the promotion of public benefit (maṣlaḥah). These principles affirm that human beings remain the primary moral agents responsible for the development and use of AI, whereas AI should function solely as an instrument to promote human welfare and preserve human dignity. This study contributes to contemporary Hadith scholarship by proposing a Hadith-Based AI Ethics Framework, thereby enriching the dialogue between Hadith studies, Islamic philosophy, and modern technology ethics.
