مسوّغات التأسيس وطبيعة الدور لعلم الكلام الجديد: قراءة في أعمال أهمّ منظّريه: Justifications for the Establishment and the Nature of the Role of the New ‘Ilm al-Kalām Fahmi, Ahmad Lukman; Sebti, Mohammad

Abstract

‘Ilm al-Kalām occupies a central position in the landscape of Islamic thought, as it is considered a practical application of its method of reasoning. Its stagnation can significantly impact other closely related branches of science, potentially leading to the decline and eventual obsolescence of its role, transforming it into a historical rather than an active field of study. This study aims to explore the views of some contemporary thinkers regarding the deficiencies of classical Kalām in addressing the demands of the modern era, and to examine the legitimacy of renewing this discipline, the rationale behind its establishment, as well as the aspects of its evolution and the nature of its new role. The research employs descriptive, analytical, and historical methodologies, gathering data and information from the works of Mutakallimūn and relevant thinkers. The study’s primary conclusion is that ‘Ilm al-Kalām is in crisis due to methodological deficiencies and issues, causing it to lose its relevance in meeting contemporary demands. Therefore, a comprehensive renewal of its entire system of knowledge is necessary, incorporating modern humanities disciplines such as hermeneutics, semiotics, anthropology, sociology, and others.   لعلم الكلام مكانة ومركزية ضمن خارطة الفكر الإسلامي، إذ أنه يعد تطبيقا عمليا لمنهج تفكيره، كما أن جموده قد يؤثر على بقية فروع المعرفة المتقاربة معه في الاستمداد، ما قد يؤدى إلى انحسار هذا العلم وموت دوره، فيتحول إلى معرفة تاريخية بدل أن كان معرفة فاعلة. ويهدف هذا البحث إلى مناقشة ما يعتقده بعض المفكرين المعاصرين من قصور علم الكلام الكلاسيكي في مواجهة متطلبات العصر، والوقوف على مدى مشروعية تجديد هذا العلم ومسوغات تأسيسه وجوانب تطويره وطبيعة دوره الجديدة. يعتمد هذا البحث على منهج البحث الوصفي التحليلي والتاريخي، حيث يستند في جمع البيانات والمعلومات إلى كتب المتكلمين والمفكرين المتعلقة بالموضوع. وقد توصل هذا البحث إلى نتائج رئيسية أهمها أن علم الكلام يعاني من أزمات لما فيه من قصور ومشاكل منهجية معرفية، وبالتالي فقد فقد أهميته ومغزاه في الوفاء بمتطلبات العصر، ولهذا السبب فمن الضروري تجديده ليس في جانب من جوانبه المحددة فقط، بل في هندسته المعرفية بأكملها، وضرورة توظيف معطيات العلوم الإنسانية الحديثة مثل الهرمنيوطيقا والسيميائية والانثروبولوجيا وعلم الاجتماع وغيره

Abstract

The concept of "Little Meccas" in Indonesia refers to settlements designed to foster a symbolic connection between  local communities and Mecca, the holiest city in Islam. This paper delves into Kauman, a historic enclave in Yogyakarta that has served as a vibrant center of Islamic learning since the Sultanate era. By focusing on Kauman Yogyakarta, this study examines its transformation from a small residential area to a larger community that ultimately inspired the birth of Muhammadiyah, a prominent reformist Islamic movement. The paper explores the historical connections between Kauman and the Middle East, particularly the influence of pan-Islamism and reformist Islamic movements. This influence is further highlighted by the presence of architectural elements reflecting Middle Eastern styles. Notably, Kauman's pedestrianized zones prioritize tranquility for students pursuing Islamic studies in prayer halls (suraus or langgars). This emphasis on quietude underscores the importance placed on Arabic-style Islamic education within the enclave. In conclusion, this study investigates the ongoing influence of the Middle East on Islamic practices and education in Kauman. It sheds light on the concept of "Little Meccas" as a historical and cultural phenomenon in Indonesia.

Abstract

The influence of media on the formation of attitudes towards Muslims and Arabs in the period following the 9/11 attacks resulted in the propagation of harmful stereotypes and the increase in hate crimes targeting Muslims and Arabs during this time. This was also spread by the role of media, including popular culture media, in disseminating these negative narratives. Using a qualitative approach, this study aims to examine the media’s endeavours to depict Muslims in a positive portrayal and the dearth of meaningful sources documenting these empathetic endeavours through the prism of moderation, especially in post-9/11. This article argues that Evelyn Alsultany's notion of Simplified Complex Representation serves as a gateway for the media's effort to showcase Muslims and Arabs in a more nuanced way.. There are tons of instances that have been analysed from TV dramas, movies, and comics to demonstrate how the media shapes people’s perspectives of Muslims and Arabs. The article contends that media is not merely a mirror of societal views but a powerful agent capable of shaping and modifying perceptions.

Abstract

This article explores the limitations of Islamic law within the broader intellectual tradition of Islam. While law is typically designed to enforce coercive justice, Miskawayh’s perspective attempts to integrate this conception through a reassessment of the concept of justice. Specifically, this article examines, first, the overarching view of Islam as a nomothetic religion; and second, the ethical concepts and vision of justice offered by Miskawayh. By contextualizing Miskawayh’s ideas within the broader cultural and intellectual traditions of Islam, this research reveals a contrasting view of legal mechanisms. For Miskawayh, the vision of justice is not necessarily derived from external mechanisms of divine revelation, but rather hinges on the internal mechanisms of the individual. Miskawayh emphasizes a reversal of mechanisms from external to internal by advocating for a greater role of ethical-philosophical thought in Islamic legal discourse. Miskawayh, like many Muslim philosophers, navigates the relationship between revealed law and reason in his conception of justice. He rejects the notion of inherent conflict, arguing that both reason and divine law originate from God.

Abstract

This study focuses on the use of isrā’īlīyāt narratives in three pesantren-related Qur’anic exegesis in Indonesia. There have been many recent studies to explore the use of isrā'īlīyāt in exegesis, but the analysis on the use of isrā'īlīyāt narratives, its underlying factors, and its impact on exegesis has not been widely discussed. By limiting to examining the use of isrā'īlīyāt narratives  in the stories of Jālūt and Ṭālūt, this study revealed a shift in the use of isrāīlīyāt from the validity aspect to the functional aspect. It also disclosed two functions of isrā'īlīyāt: the descriptive and medical functions. The descriptive function represents the moral content in the story of the Qur'an, which  has an impact on the purpose of mentioning stories in the Qur’an as i'tibār (something to learning). The medical function, refers to the internal tendency of the interpreter to choose the story, and this function determines the pattern in the exegesis of narrative verses. The exegesis pattern in methodological studies is directed only at verses with legal and theological nuances, by excluding narrative verses.

Abstract

The legend of Siti Jenar is among the most widely known and controversial tales in Javanese Islamic literature. While the details vary enormously, the core of the story is the same. Siti Jenar is the saint (wali) who passes beyond religion, as it is usually defined. He comes to know that there is ultimately only one reality -- that of Allah -- and that we all share in it. He is put on trial for publicly proclaiming the doctrine of the unity of being (wahdat al-wujud) that identifies the human soul with the essence of Allah (dat) and for rejecting modes of ritual performance required by Shari’ah including the Friday prayer. He was then executed on orders from the other wali. There are many versions of the story in Javanese chronicles (babad) and religious texts. Many more that circulate as oral tradition. There is a continuous string of new books, most of the in Indonesian instead of Javanese and websites retelling the story for contemporary audiences.

Abstract

Some researchers claim that Muslim scholars do not emphasize the importance of Bayt al-Maqdis as strongly as they do upon the two holy cities of Islam, Makkah and Madinah. Even when they do, their writings are mixed with weak and forged narrations. Additionally, their efforts aimed to strengthen the political position of certain caliphs. In the current regional situation, some Muslims radically and literally interpret the hadith out of context to support the liberation of Bayt al-Maqdis. They believe that participating in jihadi group is a noble effort, even if it involves suicide bombings. Based on these issues, this article explores the efforts of scholars in hadith scholarship related to Bayt al-Maqdis. Specifically, it examines the perspective of a prominent hadith scholar, Imam al-Bukhari, in his initiative to compile hadiths, which he placed in different chapters of his book al-Jāmi’ al-Ṣaḥīḥ. This study employs a library research approach involving content analysis. The findings of this study reveal that numerous Muslim scholars have contributed significantly to Islamic scholarship in Bayt al-Maqdis through writing and the dissemination of knowledge. Specifically, they compiled hadiths about Bayt al-Maqdis in certain books and chapters. Imam al-Bukhari documented 12 narrations related to Bayt al-Maqdis in 9 books and 13 chapters. This study selected one hadith that is almost identical but is placed under four different chapters. This illustrates the unique way a single narration, both textually and contextually, can explain the significance and position of Bayt al-Maqdis in Islam from diverse and interesting perspectives. This study recommends continuing the exploration of hadiths related to Bayt al-Maqdis to examine various other forms of Tarājim. This will help the Muslim community, in particular, to understand the hadith texts comprehensively while simultaneously refuting the argument that Islam neglects this third holy city.
