Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) is progressing through stages: artificial narrow intelligence (ANI), artificial general intelligence (AGI) and artificial super intelligence (ASI). This article aims to map out recent literature in Islamic philosophy which discusses and explores AI with respect to those divisions. In other words, this is a baseline study on the potential discourse of AI within the various schools of Islamic philosophy such as masha’ī (peripatetic), ishraqī (illuminationist), and sadranī (transcendental). Our inquiry concerns with how do contemporary scholars in Islamic philosophy give response to the recent development of AI? We seek various open access English references which discuss AI and Islamic philosophy, and we discover 19 English references published in between 2014-2024. We take the initiative to broaden our investigation to include 12 Arabic references. Although classical Islamic philosophy contains a significant number of discussions on intellect and mind, this has not been sufficient to attract more research on AI and Islamic philosophy. Therefore, we present and identify some questions to stimulate further academic research on AI within Islamic philosophy.

Abstract

This article discusses the philosophical relationship and horizon of social science as an integrative effort between the thoughts of philosophers and the scope of the development of social science as a structured discipline. Social science covers issues concerning society, individuals, social interactions, and institutions that shape human life. In this context, philosophical aspects provide essential ontological, epistemological, and axiological foundations in the development of social theories. This research uses a qualitative-descriptive approach with a library research method, through content analysis of various relevant literature. The purpose of this study is to explain the importance of integration between the philosophical dimension and the horizon of social science in understanding social phenomena more comprehensively. The results of the study show that the relationship between philosophy and social science involves various approaches and paradigms that enrich the perspective on social reality. Theories from structuralism to social action show the dynamics between social structures and individual behaviour. In addition, the horizons of social science are closely linked to other disciplines such as economics, politics and psychology, making them relevant in addressing contemporary challenges. The findings confirm that philosophical approaches in social science are not only conceptual, but also provide practical contributions in formulating social policies that are more humane and inclusive.

Abstract

Al-Hikmah al-Muta'aliyah holds its significance in the harmonious integration of philosophy, mysticism, and Islamic theology. This study aims to uncover the concept of al-Hikmah al-Muta'aliyah, focusing on its epistemological sources, the methods of acquiring its knowledge, and its verification through its influence on Islamic epistemology. The research employs a descriptive approach in the form of qualitative analysis, utilizing library research and data analysis techniques such as data reading, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings of the study reveal the following: 1) Al-Hikmah al-Muta'aliyah according to Mulla Sadra is a synthesis of prior epistemologies, derived from three principles: intellectual intuition, rational demonstration, and Sharia, forming a wisdom acquired through spiritual enlightenment, presented in rational arguments, and realized by adhering to Sharia regulations. 2) The methods of acquiring it can be achieved in two ways: first, through intellectual intuition and rapid progress, such as direct divine teaching referred to as ‘ilm ladunni (divinely inspired knowledge); and second, through conceptual thought and gradual progress, such as self-learning and following the teachings of a mentor. 3) The verification of Mulla Sadra's epistemological sources is influenced and supported by earlier thinkers, such as Ibn Sina in the field of epistemology, Suhrawardi in the concept of existence and tashkik al-wujud (gradation of existence), and Ibn Arabi in matters of Islamic philosophical issues.

Abstract

The digital era presents new existential challenges for individuals, such as identity crises, the loss of life’s meaning, and dependence on digital validation. These issues reflect how modern humans often fall into artificial forms of existence and lack ethical orientation. This article aims to examine how Al-Farabi’s thought, particularly his concepts of happiness (al-sa‘ādah), the active intellect (al-‘aql al-fa‘āl), and freedom accompanied by moral responsibility, offers an alternative framework of existential philosophy in addressing such issues. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature review approach on Al-Farabi’s significant works, such as Tahṣīl al-Sa‘ādah, Risālah fī al-‘Aql, and Kitāb al-Millah. The findings reveal that although Al-Farabi is not classified within Western existentialism, his philosophical perspectives provide ontological and ethical foundations that can be contextualized to foster self-awareness, autonomy, and the pursuit of a meaningful life amidst digital disruption. This article contributes a fresh discourse in contemporary Islamic philosophy by positioning Al-Farabi as a philosophical reference in facing existential challenges in the digital age.

Abstract

This study discusses the phenomenon of Fatherlessness, defined as the absence of a father figure either physically or emotionally, which significantly affects a child’s psychological, social, and spiritual development. Using a qualitative method through a library research approach, this article examines the concept of love from the perspectives of Al-Ghazali and St. Augustine as a philosophical response to the effects of Fatherlessness. Al-Ghazali emphasizes the concept of mahabbah in Sufism, viewing love as a means of purifying the soul and drawing closer to God. St. Augustine introduces ordo amoris, the proper order of love, in which love for God must be prioritized as the path to true happiness. Both thinkers assert that transcendental love toward God can spiritually compensate for the absence of a father figure. The findings show that such a religiously rooted approach to love may help individuals develop emotional resilience and spiritual balance. Thus, their philosophies offer a relevant alternative framework for understanding and addressing the impacts of Fatherlessness in the modern era.
Beyond Temporal Causality: Synthesizing al-Ghazālī and Ibn Rushd’s Concepts of Time in Light of Tawasul through Kalām Falsafī Agung Nugroho Reformis Santono; Achmad Ma’ruf Hidayatulloh; Sayyida Roychana Salma; Kurniawan Seno Aji

Abstract

This article explores the classical theological-philosophical debate between al-Ghazālī and Ibn Rushd regarding the eternity of the universe, time, and motion, focusing on the concepts of taqaddum zamānī (temporal precedence) and taqaddum rutbī (hierarchical precedence). While al-Ghazālī defends the temporal creation of the cosmos by divine will, Ibn Rushd maintains that the universe eternally exists in a hierarchical dependence on God. The study employs a kalām falsafī framework to critically reconstruct these opposing views and integrate them with the spiritual practice of tawasul, a living tradition in contemporary Muslim society that views time as an ontological continuum rather than a linear sequence. The article’s significant contribution is a philosophical-theological synthesis demonstrating how the metaphysical structures of time in Islamic thought can account for spiritual practices like tawasul, wherein the past remains active in shaping present and future realities. This approach avoids binary tensions between rationality and theology, and proposes a dialogical epistemology rooted in revelation and demonstrative logic. This study opens new pathways for philosophical discourse in Islamic studies by bridging metaphysical cosmology with lived religious traditions. It also highlights the need for further research into how concepts like taqaddum zamānī and rutbī can inform contemporary interpretations of time in quantum cosmology, mystical theology, and ritual theory.

Abstract

One of Muslim intellectual who has a conception of the role of intellectuals as the basis of social transformation is Ali Syariati. Shariati states that intellectuals are the basis of social transformation. But on the other hand, Syariati considers mass consciousness as an important element for social transformation. This research largely attempts to reconstruct Syariati's thoughts on the concept of Rausyan Fikr as the basis of social transformation. In addition, this research also seeks to find a dialectical relationship between intellectuals and mass consciousness in Syariati's thought. The author wants to show that intellectuals and mass consciousness are two important elements that allow the birth of social transformation. This study uses literature-based qualitative research, using hermeneutic and dialectical analysis methods. The primary data used by Syariati's lectures titled On the Sociology of Islam and What is to be Done. The results shows that the social transformation can occur by the role of intellectuals (rausyan fikr) who perform prophetic duties (social prophet). In a social revolution, intellectuals are tasked with transferring all the social problems faced into the masses as well as providing an ideological foundation as a movement paradigm. However, with their free will, the masses can choose whether to accept or reject the agitation carried out by these enlightened intellectuals. The orientation for social transformation is the ummah society.Keywords: Social Prophetic, Mass Consciusness, Ali Syariati

Abstract

Contemporary discussions on aesthetics are still largely framed by Western secular-rationalist assumptions that detach beauty from moral vision, spiritual cultivation, and theocentric meaning. This tendency contrasts sharply with Islamic intellectual traditions, especially Sufi thought, which views aesthetic experience as part of the holistic formation of the human soul (tazkiyat al-nafs) and as a pathway to recognizing divine perfection. The absence of a comparative framework that brings these two epistemic worlds into conversation has left a conceptual gap in understanding how beauty functions within Islamic thought and how it diverges from dominant Western models. Using a library-based method that integrates philosophical analysis with hermeneutic interpretation, the research explores how Islamic thought roots beauty in the harmony of body, character, and spirit, and how spiritual taste (dzawq) functions as an epistemic mode that surpasses the limits of rational cognition. The findings show that while Western aesthetics prioritizes artistic autonomy and sensory judgment, Sufi aesthetics anchors beauty in ethical refinement, ontological purpose, and the pursuit of human perfection (kamāl). This contrast reveals that Sufi aesthetics offers a value-laden and spiritually grounded understanding of beauty that is deeply embedded in the Islamic worldview. The study argues that Sufi aesthetics can serve as a constructive corrective to contemporary aesthetic discourse, which often suffers from moral fragmentation, commodification of art, and the loss of transcendent meaning. By restoring the centrality of the Divine and the moral-spiritual orientation of the human self, Sufi aesthetics provides an integrated framework that enriches both Islamic studies and broader discussions about the place of beauty in human life.

Abstract

The idea of al-Insān al-Kāmil (the Perfect Human) is central to the mystical thought and religious system of Ibn ʿArabi. As the realization and final point of creation, the Perfect Human is the mirror where all of God's attributes are completely expressed, equilibrated, and realized. No purely metaphysical conception, it manifests an integrated perception of reality where the human individual is both microcosm of the universe and intercessor between the Divine and the universe. This article delves into the ontological, epistemological, and metaphysical levels of the Perfect Human in the thinking of Ibn ʿArabi and uses mainly his two foundational writings, Fusūs al-Ḥikam and al-Futūḥāt al-MakkiyyaIt explains how the manifestation of God (tajalli), the Unity of Being (waḥdat al-wujūd), and the interdependence of prophethood and sainthood are all components of the concept of the Perfect Human. The book also mentions contemporary concepts of this belief, thinking about it in terms of its potential application to spirituality debates in the modern world, selfhood, ethics, and cosmology. By investigating both classical expositions and modern scholarly debates, this article aims to highlight the enduring significance of Ibn ʿArabi’s vision of human potential, divine proximity, and universal harmony. Ultimately, the Perfect Human is presented not just as an esoteric ideal but as a dynamic model for spiritual realization, ethical living, and transformative engagement with the world.
The Principle of Al-Wahid: The Foundation of the Unity of Existence in Islamic Philosophy Kholid Al Walid; Rosmaria Sjafariah Widjajanti

Abstract

The Principle of Al-Wahid serves as a foundational concept in Islamic philosophy, asserting the oneness of reality and that all existence originates from a single, unified source. Diversity does not stem from multiple origins but rather from the varying degrees of distance that levels of existence have from the Absolute Source of Being. This absoluteness negates the possibility of plurality within the Primary Cause itself. The principle has been a subject of discourse since the early history of Islamic philosophy, although some philosophers trace its roots back to Greek philosophy. This study employs a library research methodology with a Burhani (rational-analytical) approach. The findings of this research demonstrate that existence is fundamentally one; plurality arises not from multiple causes, but from the weakness of the effects, which leads to various limitations and, consequently, plurality. The study confirms that the principle of Al-Wahid is rational, supported by strong arguments, and serves as evidence for the most fundamental Islamic principle, al-Tawhid.
