Abstract

Digital religion is where religious beliefs meet digital media. Networked technologies have changed how people share, interpret, and practice their faith. These technologies shift authority away from traditional institutions, allowing ordinary people and even algorithms to help create sacred content. Objectives: This study maps and critically analyzes the main debates about religious knowledge online. It proposes frameworks to handle issues of authority, authenticity, and research methods in digital faith settings. Methods: We used a qualitative approach by reviewing scholarly studies, reports, news articles, and online material up to mid‑2025. We applied phenomenological and hermeneutic analyses to examine how digital media are changing the production and understanding of religious knowledge, using case studies from multiple faith traditions. Results: We identified important tensions in digital religion: sacred vs profane spaces; reason vs revelation; authority vs authenticity; insider vs outsider viewpoints; mystical vs empirical knowledge; pluralism vs normativity; and transcendence vs immanence. We also highlight issues such as algorithmic influence, digital inclusion, environmental sustainability, and research challenges. Additionally, we explore new debates on topics like colonialism, gender, and diaspora. We conclude that addressing digital religion requires better religious and digital literacy, inclusive dialogue, ethical technology design, and interdisciplinary research to build a strong, inclusive ecosystem of religious knowledge. By combining existing research with current examples, this article provides a broad overview of the changing knowledge landscape in digital religion.

Abstract

The contemporary global mental health crisis—marked by rising rates of depression, chronic stress, and social disconnection—calls for approaches that integrate biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions of human well-being. This study revisits the biopsychological framework of Abū Zayd al-Balkhī (850–934 CE), articulated in Maṣāliḥ al-Abdān wa al-Anfus, to assess its relevance for contemporary challenges. Drawing on a qualitative literature review and comparative analysis, the research highlights how al-Balkhī’s classifications of ḥuzn (sorrow/depression), waswasah (obsessive rumination), and faza‘ (panic) bear conceptual parallels to modern diagnostic categories, while his therapeutic strategies—including cognitive reflection, behavioral regulation, spiritual devotion, and social companionship—demonstrate an integrative orientation that resonates with, but is not reducible to, contemporary therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), positive psychology, and mindfulness. The paper also underscores the epistemological and clinical challenges of adapting al-Balkhī’s framework today. These include differences in ontology and methodology, terminological disparities with DSM/ICD systems, lack of empirical validation, and the risk of decontextualization if his thought is applied without critical adaptation. Nevertheless, the study argues that al-Balkhī’s synthesis of Qur’anic theology, Greco-Arabic medicine, and philosophical rationalism offers valuable resources for developing culturally resonant and ethically grounded models of care. His legacy can enrich mental health discourse in Muslim-majority contexts and pluralistic societies alike, provided it is engaged reflexively, critically, and in dialogue with contemporary clinical evidence.

Abstract

The classification of knowledge has been a central concern in Islamic intellectual history, evolving from an Aristotelian framework to an indigenous model shaped by revelation and monotheistic epistemology. This study traces this historical development from early Muslim scholars such as Jābir ibn Ḥayyān to later figures such as Quṭb al-Dīn Shīrāzī. It highlights the shifting criteria and hierarchies of scientific classification.  By using library research within a qualitative research framework and historical-philosophical approach, the study analyzes primary Arabic and Persian texts (e.g., al-Fārābī’s Iḥṣā’ al-‘Ulūm, Ibn Sīnā’s al-Shifā’) alongside secondary sources through thematic and comparative analysis to map taxonomic patterns across centuries. Key findings reveal a progression from subject-based divisions (e.g., ‘Alī’s fourfold classification) to multidimensional models integrating rational, transmitted, and mystical sciences, prioritizing interdependence over disciplinary isolation. These Islamic models offer enduring insights for interdisciplinary dialogue, modern information science, and civilizational knowledge policy, recommending future exploration of Qur’anic and hadith-based criteria to enrich global epistemology.

Abstract

The concept of the inferiority complex developed by Alfred Adler has been widely applied in contemporary psychology to explain conditions such as depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. However, existing solutions tend to be secular, overlooking the spiritual dimension and relying on partial approaches such as tabula rasa, heredity, or nativism, thereby lacking a holistic perspective. This study aims to explore and Islamize Adler’s concept of the inferiority complex by drawing on Adler’s works, Islamic sources, particularly the Qur’an and Hadith, as well as insights from modern Western psychologists and Muslim scholars. Employing a qualitative methodology with a library research approach, the study analyzes primary and secondary texts to identify secular elements in Adler’s theory and integrate them with Islamic principles. The findings show that while Adler’s concept is useful for understanding human psychology, it is rooted in a secular Western paradigm that emphasizes human autonomy and neglects dependence on God. Using Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas’s framework of Islamization of knowledge, the concept is reconstructed in three stages: De-Westernization (removing secular elements), integration (embedding values such as tawḥīd, fiṭrah, muḥāsabah, tawakkul, shukr, qanā‘ah, and ukhuwah Islāmiyyah), and Islamization (a comprehensive reconstruction aligned with the tawhidic worldview). The resulting framework is holistic, uniting psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions. Within this perspective, the inferiority complex not only addresses mental health but also strengthens faith, cultivates virtuous character, and affirms humanity’s role as God’s vicegerent (khalīfah). Thus, this study contributes to the development of modern Islamic psychology that is both relevant to Muslim communities and oriented toward worldly well-being and eternal happiness.

Abstract

Amid ongoing debates on the critical re-evaluation of the Islamic intellectual tradition, this paper directly addresses the need for a deconstructive approach by analyzing Ibn Sīnā’s philosophy of the soul through Mohammed Arkoun’s hermeneutics to expose the power-knowledge nexus in its epistemological foundations. The research pursues three objectives: first, to dissect Ibn Sīnā’s conception of the soul critically; second, to evaluate Arkoun’s critique of religious reason—particularly his concept of l’impensé—in the deconstruction of metaphysical assumptions; and third, to formulate a methodological synthesis that bridges philosophical-textual analysis with ideological critique. Utilizing philosophical-critical hermeneutics, the study proceeds through three stages: a systematic reconstruction of Ibn Sīnā’s arguments, a deconstructive analysis through Arkoun’s lens, and a contextual critique within contemporary discourse. The findings suggest that Ibn Sina’s theory subtly reinforces epistemic hierarchies aligned with the scientific paradigm of his era. Arkoun’s method, while demanding adjustments for dense philosophical texts, proves effective in unsettling inherited intellectual dogmas. As a result, the study proposes a hybrid analytical model that offers both critical depth and constructive engagement with classical Islamic texts. This contributes to rethinking Islamic philosophy in ways relevant to education, intellectual renewal, and interfaith dialogue. The research also points to fertile ground for further inquiry—particularly the application of this hybrid method to other classical thinkers and the expansion of its scope through interdisciplinary integration.

Abstract

Amid the many complex and radical philosophical debates, one of the most fascinating and widely discussed issues among scholars and philosophy enthusiasts is the intellectual confrontation between al-Ghazālī and Ibn Rushd. The most prominent philosophical dispute between the two revolves around three major metaphysical problems: the eternity of the world, God’s knowledge of particular events, and the denial of bodily resurrection. Both thinkers offer different interpretations of Qur’anic texts through a philosophical lens. Interestingly, although both belong to the same Islamic intellectual tradition, their opposing arguments have generated deep and enduring controversy. This study employs a descriptive research method, specifically a library-based approach, focusing on literature that discusses the philosophical thoughts of al-Ghazālī and Ibn Rushd. Within this method, processes of classification, data analysis, and conclusion drawing are carried out. Accordingly, the research also utilizes comparative, analytical, and synthetic methods to obtain a comprehensive understanding of their metaphysical perspectives. As a result, the debate between the two continues to be passed down and colors the study of Islamic philosophy, including having consequences in the context of philosophical themes.

Abstract

This article critically examines the goal(s) of Islamic education, with a particular focus on the interpretations advanced by William Chittick. This examination occurs within the context of the unitary theistic objective intrinsic to Islamic education, contrasting it with the multiplicity of secular goals underpinning Western education. The critique is centred on Chittick’s assertion that modern Western education, dominated by the principle of takthīr—multiplicity—is fundamentally incompatible with the unifying vision of tawhīd—the unity of God—inherent in traditional Islamic education. At the heart of this inquiry lies the question: can the objective(s) of Islamic education, firmly rooted in the principle of tawhīd, as Chittick steadfastly asserts, coexist with the Western educational framework, which is grounded in takthīr? Drawing from classical Islamic thought with a particular focus on Sufism, the paper revisits the triadic structure of knowledge in Islamic intellectual tradition: transmitted, intellectual, and inspired knowledge, which aims to cultivate the soul’s spiritual transformation. While Chittick views tawhīd as the ultimate guiding principle. This paper, through a critical-analytical framework, contends that tawhīd and takthīr are inextricably compatible and interdependent through the lens of waḥda (unity-in-diversity and diversity-in-unity), compelling us to engage with the nuanced interplay between these seemingly opposing forces within the realm of education.
