Abstract

This article examines Wahhabism as an Islamic ideological movement that developed from a local religious renewal movement in Najd into a global geopolitical force through the support of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The purpose of the study is to explore the impact of the spread of Wahhabism on the dynamics of politics, society, and foreign policy in various countries, especially in the context of bilateral relations between Saudi Arabia and the countries that are the targets of the spread of the ideology. The study uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method through analysis of primary and secondary sources, including books, journal articles, and policy reports related to Wahhabism and Islamic geopolitics. The results of the study show that the spread of Wahhabism is supported by Saudi Arabia's economic power through oil diplomacy and funding of transnational religious institutions. The main findings reveal that Wahhabism has created complex dynamics in countries, including the emergence of Islamic conservation groups, tensions with moderate local Islamic traditions, and challenges to socio-political integration. Although Saudi Arabia is trying to reform the image of Wahhabism under vision 2030, this ideology remains an important instrument in Saudi foreign policy and shapes the global Islamic geopolitical landscape.

Abstract

This study examines the theological thought of Jamaluddin Al-Afghani, focusing on its relevance to contemporary global challenges and sustainable development. Al-Afghani emphasized liberation, independence, and the active role of theology in societal progress, framing it as a solution-oriented discipline beyond mere ritual. Contextualized within the complexities of the modern era, particularly the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this research employs library research with a descriptive-analytical method and a philosophical-critical approach. Data sources include academic journals, theses, and scholarly works related to theology and Al-Afghani’s contributions. The findings reveal that Al-Afghani’s theological thought extends beyond ritualistic dimensions, offering practical solutions that inspire human agency, scientific advancement, and social justice. His ideas are universally applicable, promoting efforts to empower the marginalized and encourage the pursuit of knowledge for the betterment of society. The study contributes to academic discourse by demonstrating the relevance of Al-Afghani’s thought as a critical framework for addressing contemporary challenges, enriching the intersection of theology and sustainable development in both Muslim and global contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the implications of the supremacy of revelation over reason in the development of Islamic philosophical thought, with a specific focus on Al-Ghazali’s Tahafut al-Falasifah. It seeks to address three key questions: (1) How does Al-Ghazali conceptualize the relationship between reason and revelation in the acquisition of knowledge? (2) What socio-cultural, political, and intellectual factors influenced Al-Ghazali’s critique of rationalist philosophy and his prioritization of revelation? (3) What are the broader implications of his thought for the evolution of Islamic theology and philosophy after the publication of Tahafut al-Falasifah? Using a descriptive-analytical approach, this study explores Al-Ghazali’s arguments within the context of broader Islamic philosophical debates, emphasizing his assertion of revelation as the ultimate epistemological authority. The findings indicate that Al-Ghazali viewed divine revelation as the most reliable and authoritative foundation for knowledge, challenging the dominance of Peripatetic Islamic philosophy, which heavily relied on Greek rationalist traditions. His critique was shaped by the socio-political milieu of his time, marked by the increasing popularity of rationalist philosophy and its perceived threat to Sunni orthodoxy. The study concludes that Al-Ghazali’s prioritization of revelation resulted in a gradual decline in critical reasoning and fostered greater skepticism toward foreign ideas within Islamic intellectual traditions. These developments significantly shaped theological and philosophical trajectories in the post-Tahafut era, highlighting the enduring impact of Al-Ghazali’s thought on Islamic intellectual history.

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has sparked questions about the limits and potential of AI in mimicking human cognitive abilities. This research aims to bridge the concept of nafs (soul) in Al-Ghazali’s thought with the development of modern AI. This research uses a comparative method with a qualitative approach. Data were analyzed using content analysis techniques to identify similarities and differences between the concept of nafs nathiqah (reason) according to Al-Ghazali and AI. The focus of the analysis includes the potential, limitations, and ethical implications of the two concepts. Al-Ghazali emphasized the importance of reason in acquiring knowledge and developing technology. However, Al-Ghazali also realized the limitations of human reason, namely its inability to fully understand the nature of reality. AI, although capable of mimicking some aspects of the nafs nathiqah, still has fundamental differences. AI operates based on algorithms and data, while nafs nathiqah involves consciousness, intuition, and the ability to understand meaning. AI has great potential to improve the quality of human life, but it needs to be developed and used ethically and responsibly. Al-Ghazali’s thoughts on nafs can provide insights in understanding the potential and limitations of AI, as well as the ethical implications of its use.

Abstract

This article describes the concept of Murtadha Muthahari's thoughts on freedom and equality of women's rights in Islam. Studying freedom and equality of women's rights in Islam is essential to respond to misinterpretation of women, which causes Westerners to make wrong assumptions about women in Islam and issue negative ideas about Muslim women. The primary data of this article is Muthahhari's work entitled Women's Rights in Islam and Women's Philosophy in Islam. This study used an analytic description method with a factual historical approach regarding the characters. This article presents how Muthahhari explains emancipation, freedom, and equality of women's rights in Islam. Muthahhari explained that emancipation is a movement that determines the equality of women's rights against men's rights to obtain justice and happiness. Meanwhile, according to Muthahhari, the freedom and equality of women's rights in Islam is that women and men have equal rights but not freedom and equality, which is the same between equality and identity, must be distinguished. Different from other figures who study women's issues, Muthahhari uses methods from Islam by using philosophy and religion as a starting point.

Abstract

The polemic in discussing the concept of the caliphate has always been a never-ending debate. The Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia group is one of the leading forces that continuously promotes the caliphate, a system that some Islamic groups claim is the only solution to the problem of civilization, in which Muslim society is considered the main force in the glorious history of Islam. This qualitative literature study discusses the discourse of thought and criticism of understanding the Khilāfah a la Hizbut Tahrir concept. This study shows Ulil Abshar Abdalla's criticism of Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia's interpretation of leaders who must take conventional actions or allegiance; according to him, matters that are no longer relevant because matters of leadership are not regulated in detail in religion but social laws that apply depending on the conditions of society. Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia's understanding is a bad idea because it is considered an act of manipulating arguments and claims on things considered wrong. Their concept has a bad influence, triggering a wider internal conflict and the decline of the people, on the other hand. Islam does not want the existence of a state because, basically, Islam only regulates fundamental values in society.

Abstract

The rapid development of science in the archipelago, especially in Aceh, is characterized by the emergence of manuscripts in various fields of study. Apart from the big names that have been very well-known, such as Hamzah Fansuri, Syamsuddin As-Sumatrani, and Nuruddin Ar-Raniri, many other names are also very productive. One of the thinkers who has not been widely studied in the Aceh thought tradition is Muhammad Zain al-Asyi, who has many works in various fields such as Sufism, fiqh, monotheism, history, and others. This article aimed at analyzing the manuscript of Bidayah al-Hidayah, a work of Muhammad Zain al-Asyi related to Islamic theological thought. This study used philological methods in addition to content analysis. This work contains the ideology of wujudiyyah developed by its predecessors, namely Hamzah Fansuri and Syams Al-Din al-Sumatrani. Apart from these teachings, it was also found that al-Asyi developed the instructions of the Sunni aqidah of Abu Hasan al-Asy'ary and Abu Mansur al-Maturidi written by al-Imam al-Sanusi in Matn Umm al-Barahin.

Abstract

Socialism and Islam, or Islamic socialism, are two streams of thought that have continued to develop in Middle Eastern and North African societies for centuries. These two streams frequently reinforce each other. This article examines the debate and practical implementation of Islamic socialism in the thought of contemporary Muslim philosophers such as Jamal al-Dīn al-Afghanī, Salamah Mūsa, Muṣṭafa al-Sibaʽī, and ‘Ali Sharī‘atī. This study used a comparative approach by exploring primary sources from contemporary Muslim thinkers who are the subject of the study. The findings showed that socialist Islamic thinkers have creative and original thought patterns. They intensively and comprehensively explored Islamic teachings and traditions to explain and build a complete ‘Islamic Socialism’, not just a patchwork between ‘Socialism’ and ‘Islam’. In addition, some intellectuals from the modern Muslim world created theoretical ideas and showed how Islamic socialism was implemented and realized in the form of institutions.

Abstract

This research was library research with overthinking as its material object and the Stoicism of Marcus Aurelius as a formal object. The main problem in this study is how Marcus Aurelius' Stoicism becomes a solution to overthinking. This research used critical analysis and heuristics methods. The data source in this research refers to the book or personal record of Marcus Aurelius, namely Meditations, which is supported by other sources that are closely related to the problems of Stoicism and overthinking. There are some critical points as the solution to the overthinking of Marcus Aurelius' Stoicism, namely, first, living in harmony with nature, where things beyond human control are on the scale of nature. Second, regarding the treatment of others, the actions and words of others are beyond human control, and what should be controlled is their perception. Third, self-restraint is in of control of humans. Everything that comes from out of control will not affect and interfere if in of control can be managed with the argumentation that humans as a whole are human beings that have a ratio; then this is the core of Marcus Aurelius' Stoicism.

Abstract

People do not often realize that humans who believe in (monotheism) will get privileges from Allah SWT. The matter makes todays people less interested in tawhid. As a result, various deviations occur in the midst of Muslims life, such as a spiritual crisis which indicates that there has been a mistake in human perspective. This article explains what privileges will be obtained by monotheistic humans according to Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab. This study used the literature or document study method in qualitative research with interpretation analysis techniques. The data used are primary and secondary. The primary data comes from the writings of Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab. Then, secondary data is relevant literature to Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab. According to him, the privileges obtained by monotheistic humans are; monotheism eradicates sins, and whoever practices monotheism will enter heaven and get peace of heart and soul.  These findings can have implications for humans who do not practice monotheism, do not believe, or are unaware of the privileges that humans will gain.
