Abstract

This article explores the ethical framework proposed by Murtadha Muthahhari in addressing the moral dilemmas encountered by contemporary Muslims. Motivated by the multifaceted crisis affecting modern Muslim societies, this research seeks to apply Muthahhari’s philosophical insights to contemporary ethical issues. Central to this investigation is Muthahhari’s conceptualization of Ma'rifah Allah (Knowledge of God) and Worship as foundational elements in his ethical philosophy. The study utilizes primary sources, including Muthahhari’s seminal works such as Philosophy of Morals, Perfect Man, and Islamic Moral Philosophy, alongside secondary sources encompassing related scholarly literature. Employing a methodological approach that integrates literature review, inductive reasoning, critical analysis, and heuristic methods, the research elucidates how Muthahhari’s emphasis on aligning human actions with divine commands can lead to a transformative ethical paradigm. The findings suggest that Muthahhari’s philosophy provides a robust framework for resolving the ethical challenges faced by contemporary Muslims, underscoring the transformative potential of grounding ethical conduct in the pursuit of divine pleasure.

Abstract

This paper investigates the Islamic philosophical and theological concept of ridha as elucidated by the prominent scholar Ibn Qayyim Al-Jauziyah. Ridha, in Ibn Qayyim’s view, represents a state of inner tranquility and acceptance, essential for mitigating anxiety and dissatisfaction in individuals. Despite the material wealth prevalent in contemporary society, many still experience spiritual unrest due to a lack of ridha. This study posits that true belief in God necessitates a serene acceptance of divine provisions, embracing both adversities and blessings with contentment. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing library research and descriptive analysis of relevant literature to provide a comprehensive understanding of ridha. Content analysis techniques are applied to systematically evaluate and interpret the concept and its implications. Findings reveal that for Ibn Qayyim, ridha involves a profound acceptance of Allah’s will, characterized by the absence of discontent towards divine decrees and a balanced approach to both favorable and adverse circumstances. The study delineates three progressive stages of ridha: reconciling with one's situation, fostering harmonious relationships with others, and overcoming envy. This exploration underscores the enduring relevance of ridha in addressing modern existential challenges and spiritual fulfillment.

Abstract

This article examines the Sufi moral teachings embedded in Habiburrahman El Shirazy’s novel Ayat-Ayat Cinta and their relevance to the challenges of ethical and spiritual life in the contemporary age of globalization. As global culture increasingly promotes materialism, individualism, and moral relativism, classical Sufi ethics—rooted in the cultivation of akhlaq al-karimah (noble character)—offer an alternative framework for restoring balance and spiritual depth in human life. This study employs a qualitative library research method with a descriptive-analytical approach, drawing upon primary data from the novel and secondary sources from classical Sufi scholars, especially Imam al-Ghazali. The findings reveal that El Shirazy integrates central Sufi virtues such as faqr (detachment from worldly attachments), sabr (patience in adversity), and tawakkul (trust in divine providence) into the narrative, particularly through the main character’s responses to personal and moral dilemmas. These values, while rooted in classical Islamic ethics, are presented in a way that resonates with modern readers, demonstrating the continued relevance of Sufi moral teachings in addressing ethical crises in the global era. Thus, Ayat-Ayat Cinta not only serves as popular Islamic fiction but also as a medium of da‘wah that recontextualizes timeless spiritual values for contemporary society.

Abstract

Modern life, with its various materialistic patterns, has caused a spiritual crisis for humanity. As for the millennial generation, it is the generation that lives in this chaotic era, the one most affected by this crisis. This is the condition that drives Nuralwala as an educational institution to move to spread the teachings of tasawuf in this modern era. This research aims to find out three things. First, what is the definition of Sufism Values according to Nuralwala? Second, how Nuralwala's efforts in internalizing the values of taxawuf in the millennial generation. Third, how the outcomes and impact on the millennial generations. This research uses qualitative method with a descriptive-analytic approach. This research has led to the following conclusions: First, understanding the sufism values according to Nuralwala. Second, the effort made by Nuralwala in internalizing the value of tasawuf in the millennial generation is still online education, in which the concrete effort has only touched the cognitive aspect. Third, the outcomes and impacts for the millennial generation are reviewed from three aspects: cognitive, affective and psychomotor. Of these three, the internalization in the cognitive and affective aspects has the outcome and impact for the millennials. In contrast, the results and impact are minimal in the psychomotor aspects.

Abstract

This article discusses the phenomenon of philosophical recitation at the Jenderal Sudirman Mosque, Yogyakarta. This research starts from the public's assumption that studying philosophy is complex; studying philosophy makes people not believe in the existence of God, and then it starts from the assumption that mosques are usually used as places of worship, carrying out religious rituals. However, it is different from the Jenderal Sudirman Mosque in Yogyakarta. This research is qualitative and field-based with an Edmund Husserl phenomenological approach. The results of this research show that the participants who took part in the Philosophy Qur’an were not only students or Muslims but also non-Muslims, and some participants were transgender. Not only that, the participants also came from various social backgrounds. The activity of reciting the philosophical Qur’an is also popular because of the presence of Fahruddin Faiz as an icon of the Qur’an of philosophy at the Jenderal Sudirman Mosque. This reciting of philosophy can change the participants' perspective on error and distance them from God because studying philosophy can make people closer to God.

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.
