THE ARGUMENTS AND REASONING ON THE IMMATERIALITY OF THE SOUL (TAJJARUD AL-NAFS) BASED ON MULLĀ ṢADRĀ’S PERSPECTIVE IN THE BOOK AL-SHAWĀHID AL-RUBŪBIYYAH Mahyuddin, Mahyuddin; Rezaniya, Hamid Reza

Abstract

This study examines the philosophical discourse of Mullā Ṣadrā on the immateriality of the soul (tajarrud al-nafs), with a focus on his seminal work, al-Shawāhid al-Rubūbiyyah. Mullā Ṣadrā, the founder of the transcendent philosophy (ḥikmah muta‘āliyah), developed a system rooted in foundational principles, including the primacy of existence (aṣālat al-wujūd), the gradation of existence (tashkīk al-wujūd), and substantial motion (ḥarakah jawhariyyah). His philosophical method integrates rational demonstration (burhān ‘aqlī), theology (kalām), Qur’anic insights, and mysticism (‘irfān), creating a unique and comprehensive framework. The research addresses a gap in the systematic analysis of Mullā Ṣadrā’s articulation of the soul’s immateriality in al-Shawāhid al-Rubūbiyyah, particularly within the third chapter (mashhad), where metaphysical principles intersect with discussions on the soul. Employing a descriptive, analytical, and argumentative methodology, the study identifies 14 structured arguments presented by Mullā Ṣadrā, evaluating their coherence and strength. Findings reveal that while many arguments are robust and deeply integrated into his philosophical system, others, particularly those based on textual and testimonial evidence, require refinement. These supplementary arguments serve to reinforce philosophical conviction rather than diminish logical validity. This research contributes to Islamic metaphysics by providing a focused analysis of al-Shawāhid al-Rubūbiyyah, offering insights into a relatively understudied text in Sadrian philosophy. It bridges classical Islamic thought with contemporary philosophical inquiry, highlighting the relevance of Mullā Ṣadrā’s views on the immaterial soul in understanding metaphysical anthropology and eschatology.

Abstract

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has brought significant changes to the world of education, including Islamic education in Indonesia. The presence of AI as a digital teaching entity raises concerns about the future of human teachers, especially in terms of character building and the spirituality of students. This study aims to analyze the relevance of the existence of human teachers in the context of Islamic education disrupted by AI, by referring to the concept of wujūd and māhiyyah from Ibn Sīnā’s philosophy. This study uses a qualitative approach through literature study, with primary data in the form of the text of al-Shifā’ by Ibn Sīnā and secondary data from national and international accredited journals. The theory of wujūd and māhiyyah is used as a framework to evaluate the existence of AI as a “teacher”. The results of the study show that AI only has a functional existence without spiritual substance, so it does not qualify as an educational entity from the perspective of Islamic education. Human teachers, according to Ibn Sīnā, have māhiyyah that includes spiritual and moral dimensions that AI does not have. The conclusion of this study confirms that although AI can act as a tool, the role of teachers remains irreplaceable in shaping the souls and characters of students. Therefore, future Islamic education must develop a collaborative model that places AI as a partner, not a substitute for teachers.

Abstract

This study reinterprets Ali Asghar Engineer’s liberation theology as a normative foundation for integrating justice, freedom, and equality into Indonesia’s multicultural religious-education policy across primary, secondary, and tertiary levels. Motivated by persistent deficits in conventional religious curricula characterized by rote learning, doctrinal literalism, and weak responsiveness to social pluralism. The research employs a qualitative literature review combining systematic database searches with content analysis and critical discourse analysis of scholarship, policy documents, and curriculum materials. Findings indicate that grounding curricula in liberationist values can reorient religious education from transmissive instruction toward emancipatory pedagogy that cultivates critical consciousness, civic agency, and intercultural competence. Implementation, however, is constrained by three interrelated barriers: structural (centralized curriculum regimes and assessment systems), cultural-ideological (conservative resistance and contestation over interpretive authority), and practical (limited teacher capacity, resources, and contextually relevant materials). The paper advances pragmatic strategies for curriculum decentralization, redesigned authentic assessment, sustained in-service teacher development, contextualized teaching modules, and deliberative engagement with religious stakeholders, coupled with pilot implementation and rigorous monitoring to ensure fidelity and scalability. By articulating a context-sensitive operationalization of the Engineer’s theology for curriculum reform, the study contributes theoretically and practically to debates on Islamic education reform and multicultural pedagogy, offering policymakers and educators an evidence-informed pathway to make religious education more just, inclusive, and transformative.

Abstract

This paper delves into the profound and intricate relationship between Love (ishq) and Intellect (aql) within the philosophy of Muhammad Iqbal, a visionary poet and philosopher, aiming to reveal how these two forces shape the development of the human self (khudi) and contribute to the realization of spiritual and moral freedom. According to Iqbal, while intelligence is useful for getting to know things and thinking critically, love goes beyond reasoning and provides the spiritual and emotional depth needed to have a closer relationship with God. While both intellect and love are essential faculties of the human experience, Iqbal frames them as complementary forces in a dynamic relationship, where intellect is analytical, cautious, and calculating, whereas love is intuitive, passionate, and self-transcendent. The main motto of this research is to show how Iqbal emphasizes the primacy of love in the process of spiritual awakening, while affirming that both faculties work in tandem, without negating reason, but asserting that reason alone cannot lead to spiritual awakening or transformative action. For Iqbal, it is ishq that fuels the soul’s courage, sacrifice, and divine connection, ultimately leading to the strengthening of khudi. Through a comparative and analytical approach, the study highlights Iqbal’s integration of classical Islamic thought with modern existential concerns, demonstrating how love becomes a cosmic principle, whereas intellect remains a useful yet limited tool. In conclusion, this research asserts that true selfhood and moral leadership emerge not from intellect alone but rather through a harmonized interplay in which love leads, and intellect follows. This equilibrium lies at the heart of Iqbal’s vision for the revival of humanity.

Abstract

The present study aims to provide a comprehensive examination of the Frankfurt School’s Critical Theory, encompassing its historical origins, subsequent development, and the application of its values within educational contexts and the evolution of Islamic Critical Theory. Employing a qualitative research methodology, data for this article were obtained through an extensive review of literature, including books, scholarly journals, and other pertinent documents concerning the Frankfurt School’s Critical Theory. Data analysis was performed using content analysis techniques. The findings indicate that the Frankfurt School’s Critical Theory remains a significant philosophical movement, persisting not only in Western academic discourse but also among Muslim philosophers. Despite its limited familiarity in Indonesia, there is potential for the adaptation of aspects and values of the Frankfurt School’s Critical Theory in the educational process. This adaptation could be achieved through the implementation of critical pedagogy, aimed at fostering understanding and sensitivity to promote change. Additionally, the integration of critical religious education could serve to transform it into critical Islamic religious education, thereby challenging the prevailing stigma that often pits Islam and the West against each other in the educational field. Furthermore, it is imperative to acknowledge the significant opportunity for academics and philosophers to continue developing the concept of Islamic Critical Theory, a field that currently has minimal references. Critical theory has the potential to contribute to the development of Islamic scholarship, as evidenced by the Qur’an’s emphasis on critical thinking in the pursuit of knowledge.

Abstract

Islamic philosophy, which once experienced a golden age, now faces a crisis of innovation characterized by stagnation, repetition, and an inability to respond to contemporary human problems. This condition is often seen as a result of the decline of philosophy after Ibn Rushd, but in fact it is more related to the inappropriate method of reading tradition (turāth) with two main axes: traditionalism/Salafism and liberalism-modernism. This article examines the thoughts of two very important modern Arab figures, ‘Ābid al-Jābirī and Ḥasan Ḥanafī, who both attempted to offer new ways of reading turāth to revitalize Islamic philosophy. The aim is to reveal the relevance of their methods in addressing intellectual stagnation while pointing to a new direction for the Islamic philosophical tradition to remain relevant and productive. This study uses a qualitative method based on content analysis of the main works of ‘Ābid al-Jābirī and Ḥasan Ḥanafī on tradition and renewal. The results of the study show that al-Jābirī, through structural, historical, and ideological criticism, attempts to liberate tradition, especially philosophical texts, from analogical reading (qiyās) and encourages a rationality of tradition that is more in line with the guidance of modernity. Meanwhile, Ḥasan Ḥanafī, through phenomenological hermeneutics, views tradition as an ideological force that must be revived in order to support emancipation and social transformation. Although their points of emphasis differ, both assert that Islamic philosophy can only regain its vitality through a reorientation of tradition so that it remains relevant and capable of responding to the needs of the times.

Abstract

This article undertakes a comparative study of Ibn Sīnā and Ibn Rushd’s conceptions of the soul through the framework of Aristotle’s four causes: material, formal, efficient, and final. Both thinkers draw deeply from Aristotelian psychology, yet their approaches diverge due to different metaphysical and theological commitments. Ibn Sīnā, shaped by Neoplatonic currents, presents the soul as an immaterial, self-subsistent substance that transcends the body and seeks perfection in union with the Active Intellect. This union is achieved through rational contemplation, ethical purification, and intellectual ascent, granting the soul an independent and eternal telos. By contrast, Ibn Rushd interprets the soul in strict continuity with Aristotle’s naturalism, emphasizing its inseparability from the body as its form and actuality. For him, human perfection is realized not in metaphysical transcendence but in civic virtue, rational engagement, and intellectual cultivation within empirical life. The article applies Aristotle’s four causes to their respective models, exploring the ontological, epistemological, and ethical implications of each framework. It further situates their perspectives within broader debates on consciousness, personhood, and moral responsibility, highlighting the enduring relevance of their insights. The study argues that re-examining these classical Islamic philosophies provides valuable resources for contemporary discussions in the philosophy of mind, ethics, and metaphysics.
THE PHILOSOPHY OF LANGUAGE IN AL-FARĀBĪ’S THOUGHT: BETWEEN LOGIC, SYMBOL, AND REASONING Mardani, Dadan; Hezam, Motea Naji Dabwan; Mahmud, Mahmud; Rohanda, Rohanda

Abstract

Al-Farābī’s contributions to Islamic philosophy extend deeply into the philosophy of language, yet scholarly attention to this dimension remains limited. This study re-examines al-Farābī’s linguistic philosophy by focusing on three interrelated dimensions: logic, symbol, and reasoning. The background of the research lies in the need to reassess classical frameworks in light of contemporary debates on language, cognition, and meaning, where non-Western traditions remain underrepresented. The objective is to explicate how al-Farābī conceptualizes language not merely as a communicative tool, but as an epistemic system for organizing rational thought and symbolic representation. Using a qualitative method, the study employs textual-philosophical analysis of al-Farābī’s major works, including Kitāb al-Ḥurūf, Kitāb al-Alfāẓ al-Musta‘mala fī al-Manṭiq, and his commentary on De Interpretatione, supported by recent scholarly findings. The results reveal that al-Farābī understands language as a structured expression of the intellect, capable of conveying both demonstrative propositions and imaginative constructs. His classification of syllogisms into demonstrative, dialectical, rhetorical, poetic, and sophistical shows the multiplicity of language functions, each with distinct epistemological and moral purposes. Furthermore, his reflections on metaphor, rhetoric, and prophetic discourse demonstrate the cognitive and ethical role of symbolic language in shaping society and cultivating virtue. The study concludes that al-Farābī’s philosophy of language integrates logical rigor with symbolic depth, offering an early model of semiotic realism in which words, concepts, and referents form a triadic relationship grounded in reason and truth. This synthesis provides a foundational contribution to the Islamic intellectual tradition while also enriching contemporary philosophy of language, hermeneutics, and intercultural dialogue.

Abstract

This research addresses the contemporary global conflict surrounding transformations in social life through the lens of Critical Theory. The urgency of analyzing the thoughts of Herbert Marcuse and Jürgen Habermas lies in their critical engagement with the rational foundations of the modern social system. This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of Marcuse’s and Habermas’s contributions to Critical Theory. The material object of this study is Critical Theory in social science, while the formal object focuses on the specific theories developed by Marcuse and Habermas. Employing a library research method and a comparative approach. Data processing in this study uses descriptive analysis, which means describing the data sources of Marcuse and Habermas’ Critical Theory, then analyzing the descriptive data sources from both Critical Theory thinkers. Marcuse’s key concept is the “one-dimensional man,” reflecting a critique of advanced industrial society, whereas Habermas introduces “communicative action” as a foundation for rational discourse in democratic societies. The differences in these concepts are shaped by their distinct philosophical and socio-historical contexts. The study concludes that Marcuse’s and Habermas’s theories represent a dialectical tension: Marcuse as a thesis with a monolithic representation of modern rationality (instrumental rationality that is adaptive with control, efficiency, and domination), Habermas as an antithesis with a typological representation of instrumental rationality and communicative rationality. Habermas does not reject instrumental rationality, but limits it only to non-human objects. When applied to humans, instrumental rationality causes social pathology. Their synthesis lies in recognizing the role of identity and intersubjective recognition in fostering communicative action. This study implies that the Islamic context in Marcuse and Habermas’ discourse leads to conceptual prospects for social cohesion and justice.
