Abstract

This article examines Muhammad Abduh's criticism of Gabriel Hanotaux's thoughts, as stated in his book Islam Bainal Ilmi Wal Madaniyah. The type of research used is literature, with a figure study approach. The results showed that Abduh disagreed with Hanotaux in 6 cases. First, regarding progress, only the European Christian Aryan ethnic group possessed it. According to Abduh, the advancement of the rights of all ethnicities and the attribution of Aryan ethnicity to Christianity is not appropriate. Second, Hanotaux wrongly considers Islam a fatalist religion and Christianity a religion that has free will in its destiny. Third, regarding the social reality of Muslims, Abduh has the same views as Hanotaux and is self-critical of the situation of Muslims. Fourth, on the theme of colonial politics, Abduh criticized Hanotaux, who argued that this was purely out of religious interests. Fifth, in the theme of secularization, Hanotaux mixes state political affairs with religion to completely separate them, while Abduh believes that the two can't be separated; all that can be done is to divide tasks and areas of authority between politics and religion.

Abstract

This article examines the influence of Western secular thought on Islamic civilization, focusing on its repercussions within the political domain. The dominance of secular politics, which often conflicts with Islamic values, poses a significant challenge to Islamic governance principles. In response to this ideological shift, Yusuf Qaradhawi has called for a political reformation grounded in Islamic teachings, framing this transformative effort as a form of jihad. To investigate this perspective, the study employs qualitative research methods, specifically library-based research, and document analysis. Primary data is sourced from Yusuf Qaradhawi's own writings, while secondary data includes a range of books, scholarly journals, bulletins, and encyclopedias pertinent to the topic. The analysis reveals that the core principles of democracy—such as the right of citizens to elect their leaders freely—are compatible with Islamic values. However, the study also identifies notable deviations from these democratic ideals in practice. In the context of Indonesia, where Islamic values have been incorporated into the democratic framework, discrepancies between theoretical principles and actual political practices remain significant. This paper not only highlights the alignment between Islamic principles and democratic values but also critically assesses the challenges and inconsistencies faced in their implementation.

Abstract

This article aims to determine M. Amin Abdullah's contribution to contemporary Indonesian Islamic studies through the Philosophy of Islamic Sciences. This is motivated by the fact that Islamic studies in Indonesia have experienced stagnation and rigidity, so it is necessary to provide the right solution through new methods and approaches. This article uses qualitative methods, library research, and descriptive-analytical data analysis techniques. Thus, this article concludes that Amin Abdullah has succeeded in providing a new paradigm for developing contemporary Indonesian Islamic studies. He presents the Philosophy of Islamic Sciences to deconstruct the reconstruction of Islamic studies by linking classical sciences with contemporary sciences. By offering various concepts of thought from intellectual figures, he produces a framework for Islamic studies that is progressive, new, transformative, fresh, not static, and relevant to the times' demands and science's development. He contributes his thoughts on Islamic studies in Indonesia using multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary methods based on the integration-interconnection scientific paradigm. The results of his thinking can foster a broader foundation for Muslim thinking, and contemporary Islamic studies can face the challenges of a more complex era.

Abstract

This study explores the portrayal of attitudes towards religious multiculturalism in the animated series Upin & Ipin, focusing on episodes centered around Hari Raya, Deepavali, and Gong Xi Fa Cai. Given the rich diversity present in human societies, understanding how media representations handle multicultural interactions is crucial. Utilizing a qualitative approach, this research conducts a library-based analysis of historical and philosophical concepts related to multiculturalism. The investigation aims to examine and interpret the series' depiction of attitudes towards religious diversity and their practical implications for multicultural interactions. The findings reveal four key attitudes promoted within the series: tolerance, harmony, fairness, and respect. These attitudes are not only depicted within the series but also reflect practices that can be applied to real-world multicultural contexts. The study concludes that these attitudes are not merely fictional portrayals but reflect practical approaches that can be applied in real-world multicultural settings. Upin & Ipin serves as a model for fostering positive intercultural relationships by illustrating how empathetic and respectful interactions can contribute to a more harmonious society. The series provides an effective framework for addressing and navigating religious diversity, offering valuable lessons for both individuals and communities striving to cultivate inclusive and supportive environments.

Abstract

This study investigates the evolving nature of knowledge in addressing contemporary issues that arise with rapid societal changes. Motivated by the need for adaptive solutions beyond traditional monodisciplinary approaches, this research examines the new paradigm introduced by Amin Abdullah in his seminal work, "MIT" (Multidisciplinary, Interdisciplinary, and Transdisciplinary). Employing a qualitative methodology with a library research approach, the study analyzes primary and secondary sources related to Abdullah's framework. Content and historical analysis techniques were utilized to interpret the data. The findings reveal that Abdullah’s paradigm integrates three clusters of knowledge—Naql (Revelation), Aql (Reason), and Qalb (Intuition)—through a trialogue involving subjective (religion), objective (science), and intersubjective (conscience) aspects. This approach promotes a comprehensive framework for addressing contemporary complexities by merging hadarah al-nas (religion), hadarah al-falsafah (philosophy), and hadarah al-‘ilm (science). Abdullah advocates for dialogical and integrative values, emphasizing semipermeable boundaries, intersubjective testability, and creative imagination as tools for effective problem-solving in a multifaceted world. This paradigm offers a significant shift from stagnant scientific approaches, proposing a dynamic model that fosters adaptability and holistic understanding.

Abstract

This article presents a comprehensive examination of Seyyed Hossein Nasr's evaluation model within the context of perennial philosophy. Nasr’s model advocates for the revival of perennial wisdom—a traditional Islamic perspective that he believes offers a remedy to the contemporary crises plaguing modern civilization. According to Nasr, both Western and Islamic civilizations have faltered in achieving their fundamental objectives, leading to deteriorating human relations and widespread spiritual disillusionment, which in turn adversely impacts the environment. This paper employs a library research methodology, synthesizing data from a variety of sources including books, academic journals, and other relevant media. Through the lens of Nasr’s concepts, the study explores how his ideas might serve as a conduit for re-aligning contemporary society with the core principles of Islam and addressing the spiritual and existential challenges of modernity. Additionally, the paper discusses the potential reapplication of Sufism as a strategic approach to mitigate the crisis induced by rapid technological advancements and societal changes. By reintroducing and integrating these traditional insights, the study aims to offer solutions to the multifaceted problems faced by contemporary human societies.

Abstract

This study investigates Sujiwo Tejo's literary works Republik #Jancukers and Tuhan Maha Asyik through the lens of social-religious commentary, utilizing Gadamer's hermeneutics as the analytical framework. These works are examined for their implicit messages regarding socio-religious concepts, reflecting the author's broader intention to contribute to sociological understanding through literature. Employing a qualitative research methodology with a hermeneutic approach, this library-based research focuses on the integration of social and religious thought within the texts. The analysis applies Gadamer's concepts of historical context and fusion of horizons to explore the depiction of religious social interactions, categorizing them into vertical (individual or group interactions with the divine) and horizontal (interactions among believers). The findings reveal that Tejo's works intricately weave socio-religious themes into their narrative fabric, offering a nuanced exploration of religious interactions. Through Republik #Jancukers and Tuhan Maha Asyik, Tejo presents a multifaceted view of vertical interactions, where individual and collective engagements with the divine are depicted as dynamic and often critical. In contrast, horizontal interactions are portrayed as reflective of the complexities and tensions within religious communities.
