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.

Abstract

Theology is one of the critical factors for the survival of Muslims. However, with the shift in all aspects included in the lives of Muslims, theology cannot adjust or even solve all the problems occurring in the body of Islam. This research aimed at discussing and studying the theology of Leftist Islam in the thought of Hassan Hanafi to obtain its authenticity. The method used in this study was the historical-philosophical method. This historical method is to describe the history and development of Islamic theology. In comparison, the philosophical method examines a character's thoughts and analyzes the thoughts being studied. The results of this study explained that Leftist Islam is an idea, concept, and new theology initiated by Hassan Hanafi in response to the challenges of the West. In the Leftist Islam, Hassan Hanafi has three crucial elements, namely revitalizing the classical scientific tradition, opposing Western civilization, and analyzing the reality of Muslims.

Abstract

Tafsīr al-Azhar by HAMKA is a work of Malay tafsīr that exists to answer social problems in the Indonesian context in the era when HAMKA lived. Therefore, contextualization is the dominant feature in HAMKA's interpretation; it is considered in line with Fazlur Rahman's double movement hermeneutic principle. This research is a literature review analyzing Tafsīr al-Azhar by HAMKA using Fazlur Rahman's double movement hermeneutic perspective to find compatibility between the two. In general, this research finds that, in Tafsīr al-Azhar, HAMKA applies Fazlur Rahman's double movement hermeneutic method; especially when he attempts to get in and answer current issues by taking the main Qur'an principles through the intertextuality process and exploring the sociohistorical setting of a verse.

Abstract

This paper examines the intersection of Islam and socialism in Indonesia, focusing on the intellectual lineage from HOS Tjokroaminoto to Agus Salim. Both figures played pivotal roles in shaping Indonesia's political landscape during the early 20th century. Tjokroaminoto, a prominent Islamic scholar and nationalist leader, was instrumental in synthesizing Islamic principles with socialist ideals. His efforts sought to address socio-economic disparities and advocate for the rights of the common people. Agus Salim, a prominent diplomat and intellectual contemporary of Tjokroaminoto, was deeply influenced by the latter's thoughts on the harmonious integration of Islam and socialism. The type of research used is literature research, with data sources from the study of books related to Islamic socialism by Tjokroaminoto and Agus Salim. The research results show that there are three types of Tjokro's thoughts towards Agus Salim that are used as the outline of the Sarekat Islam movement: the first is the freedom of the people, the second is equality, and the third is love for the homeland and anti-capitalism. Leadership is an interpretation of its people, according to the leadership philosophy taught by Agus Salim to his political disciple Kasman Singodimedjo. Therefore, leaders must prioritize the people's interests above all else, or "leadership is suffering”.

Abstract

Moderatism is an essential foundation for religious expression among religious people in various fields of life, both in understanding and application. As part of the religious community, Mutakallimin from the classical to contemporary eras have provided valuable experiences for other Muslims. This paper aims to explore the experiences of the Mutakallimin regarding moderatism in the classical and contemporary eras. The writing method in this study uses literary methods and approaches to classical and contemporary Islamic literature. The results of the study explain that the Mutakallimin has demonstrated moderatism experiments marked by the emergence of the Khawarij Ibadiyah sect, Moderate Murjiah, Moderate Shia, the Mu'tazilah conception of rationality, the balance between Jabariyah and Qadariyah which is explored in the face of Asy'ariyah and Maturidiyah, as well as contemporary Kalam reform models which are based on theocentric and anthropocentric Kalam domains.

Abstract

Islamic philosophy is a critical study to answer the challenges of contemporary life. However, Islamic philosophy currently needs to improve its existence. Direction in the study of Islamic philosophy is essential, both in terms of methods and sources, so that the study of Islamic philosophy is not only in the world of new ideas but rather in existing realities. This article examines the challenges and innovations towards the ambivalence of Islamic philosophy in the contemporary era carried out by contemporary Indonesian Muslim philosophers. This article uses the library study method, which is a research approach carried out by collecting and analyzing information from written sources such as books, journals, articles, and documents related to the topic being discussed. This article finds that the importance of renewal in Islamic philosophical literacy is really needed as a guide for people who want to enter the world of Islamic philosophy with the study of living philosophy, as well as the digitalization of Islamic philosophy as a reflection that Islamic philosophy is fun.

Abstract

This study examines Azyumardi Azra’s perspective on the theology of harmony in the Indonesian context, particularly in addressing the dynamics of religious plurality and conflict. In the last two decades, Indonesia has witnessed serious cases of religious conflict, such as the Ambon conflict (1999–2002) and various sectarian tensions within Islam itself. For Azra, the theology of harmony reaches its culmination in the acceptance and practice of Pancasila as the state ideology, which provides a unifying foundation for different religions in Indonesia. This research employs a library study and character study approach to explore Azra’s ideas, focusing on his concept of Islamic inclusivism. The findings indicate that Azra situates harmony on two levels: doctrinal, which emphasizes the universality of Islamic teachings, and historical, which acknowledges the lived experiences of Indonesian Muslims in a plural society. Furthermore, he highlights the importance of local wisdom, such as the Minangkabau philosophy “dima bumi dipijak, di situ langik dijunjuang” (where the earth is stepped on, there the sky is upheld), which promotes contextual inclusivism without sacrificing core faith and practices. Thus, Azra’s theology of harmony offers a constructive framework for interreligious coexistence and national integration in Indonesia.
