Abstract

This research is a comparative analysis over the concept of an ideal state according to the perspective of a Muslim philosopher, Al-Farabi and that of a Christian philosopher, Augustine. It is an interfaith study that is based on a library research. The main data are collected through the book of Arā 'Ahl al-Madīnah al-Fādilah by al-Farabi and The City of God, by Agustinus, before they are analyzed with a hermeneutic approach. It argues that there are some similarities between Al-Farabi’s and Augustine's thoughts on the concept of ideal state, as well as a few differences. According to al-Farabi, an ideal state is the one that is led by a prophet or a philosopher, because, like the heart in a human body, the leader occupies a central position and is highly decisive. An ideal state according to Augustine refers to the concept of the city of God or the heavenly city, which is resided by innocent people, or sinners who have received God’s repentance. In this regards, the opposite of the City of God is the City of Man, in which all sinners are living their lives.

Abstract

Throughout the history of Islam, the notion of logic has been controversial. Not only have many muslims prohibited the use of logic, but also the term manṭiq, or the Arab-Islamic translation of ‘logic’, is often underestimated as a mere copy of the Greek logic.  This article wants to examine the conception of Qur’anic logic according to al-Ghazali’s book al-Qisṭās al-Mustaqīm. This investigation is imperative especially because we need to establish a clearer conception of logic in Islamic knowledge, in order to help us better understand the link between philosophy and Islam, as well as the rationality of the Qur’an. The main question of this paper is the following: “How is the form of logic that is used by the Qur’an in its argumentation, as explained in al-Ghazali’s book al-Qisṭās al-Mustaqīm?”. This paper finds out that the Qur’an has its own principles of reasoning. It is not only the source of knowledge but also the parameter of human’s knowledge. This parameter, which includes ta’addul (equilibrium), talazum (equivalence), and ta’anud (contradiction), should be used as the basis upon which the plausibility of human’s argumentation and ways of thinking is structured. Al-Ghazali’s conception of the Qur’anic logic is directed to argue against members of the Ta'limiyah school, who refused the use of logic.

Abstract

Soft capitalism has begun to spread in Indonesia, marked by the number of Islamic businesses that are developing. This raises questions about the Islamic economic system and capitalism which seem to merge without any obstacles. In Yogyakarta, this phenomenon can be found in the Geprek Chicken and Milk (Preksu) and Waroeng Steak which is a popular economic movement in the culinary field. Specifically, from the business object, the author conducts indepth study at how the two paradigms that tend to be contradictory, capitalism and Islam, are able to go hand in hand in their manifestation based on the spiritual company. This study using the sociological approach and literature study and primary data based on field observation. The result shows that the fusion between Islamic values and capitalism produces a new phenomenon influenced by a strong moral economy from producers (entrepreneurs) and high consumer enthusiasm sustained by the role of new media. Therefore, the author argues that the growing moral value of human economies finally shatters egocentricity capitalist and Islamic is necessary as a measure of decorum (ethical) in the economy.

Abstract

While the beginning of the 21st century demonstrated the emergence of various distinctive styles of Sufism, the existing studies of Sufi practice and discourse in various countries across the world illustrate how social modern forms and techniques are now among the conditions of possibility for a great many movements that are concerned to extend the Islamic tradition, traditions of practice and piety. Yet, modern scholarship represents relatively little known area of Sufi leadership tradition as well as the role of shaykh as a mediating agent in Muslim societies. Fulfilling this scientific gap, this paper is aimed at examining the ways in which we could better understand the role of Sufi shaykh and the production of their authorities in post-modern Muslim societies. In doing so, the paper gives ample emphasis on theoretical discussion about tradition in mystical Islam, and about the ways in which such tradition gives influence to the mediating role played by a Sufi shaykh in society, with a particular case study of the Naqshbandiyah tradition in West Sumatra, Indonesia. This paper reveals the important dimension of traditions of how Sufi shaykhs practice the ideal of Prophet as spiritual masters, within the regional form of Islam, or as mediating shaykhs today, that enable Muslims to pursue a spiritual path within the conflicting situations and pressure of modern life. 
On Understanding Religion: A Study of Abdul Karim Soroush’s Thoughts Anshori, Muhammad -

Abstract

This paper discussed the method of understanding religion according to the views of Abdul Karim Soroush. The main question of this paper is “What is the adequate method to understand religion according to Abdul Karim Soroush?”, and “How to do that?" It found out that Soroush has differentiated religion from human’s understanding of religion. In the context of the study of religious knowledge, the Qur’an must be distinguished from its exegesis, and the Hadith from its syarah (explanation). If they are not distinguished, said Soroush, we risk to put human’s understanding of religion at the same level of that of the Qur’an and the Hadith. They are obviously not the same. While the Qur’an is based on revelation, human’s interpretation of the Qur’an is a result of rational thinking. This means, religion is absolute and human’s understanding of the religion is relative. In understanding religious texts (the Qur’an and Hadith), Soroush also maintained the conceptual theory of contraction and expansion. This theory is regarded as one of Soroush’s original thoughts with regard to an endeavor of understanding religion: it is for this reason that his thoughts are significant to the contexts in which we are now living Islam.
