Awaluddin Awaluddin — Sun, 29 Jun 2025 23:03:11 +0800

The understanding of Islamic epistemology should ideally evolve over time, allowing for a more dynamic and critical interpretation of religious texts. However, in reality, many interpretations remain trapped in rigid and dogmatic textual reasoning, hindering the renewal of thought in a modern context. This study aims to explore the contribution of Mohammad Abed Al-Jabiri in building Islamic epistemology through the philosophy of language, focusing on his critique of the textualist bayani reasoning and his proposal to integrate burhani rationality to renew methods of interpreting religious texts. The research method employed in this study is a descriptive-analytical qualitative approach, analyzing Al-Jabiri’s thought and its application within the context of Islamic epistemology. The results indicate that Al-Jabiri’s ideas are relevant in addressing the challenges of globalization and modernity within Islamic discourse. By emphasizing the importance of a rational and contextual understanding of language, Al-Jabiri offers a new approach that can renew perspectives on religious texts, making them more progressive and open to contemporary developments. This study contributes to efforts to enrich Islamic epistemological discourse in a more flexible and dynamic direction.

Efficiency and effectiveness are two fundamental pillars of modern management, often used as benchmarks for organizational success in both the public and private sectors. However, contemporary managerial approaches, dominated by rational-secular paradigms, frequently neglect moral and spiritual dimensions, leading to ethical crises, resource waste, and social inequality. This study aims to explore and interpret the concepts of efficiency and effectiveness in the Qur’an within the framework of Islamic managerial principles. The method used is library research with a thematic interpretation (maudhu’i) approach to selected Qur’anic verses, synthesized with Islamic management literature. The findings reveal that the Qur’an contains managerial principles that emphasize trustworthiness (amanah), optimal management of time and resources, and goal achievement oriented toward public benefit (maslahah) and divine blessing (barakah). In Islam, efficiency is not merely about cost-saving but also carries spiritual value as an act of worship; whereas effectiveness requires the alignment of objectives with eternal values. These findings lay the foundation for constructing a more holistic, ethical, and contextual Qur’anic management model.

Islamic education is expected to unify rationality and spirituality to produce learners who are knowledgeable, virtuous, and grounded in transcendental values. In practice, education tends to be fragmented, with a dominance of pragmatic approaches that create an imbalance between cognitive and spiritual dimensions. This study aims to examine the philosophical foundations of integrating rationality and spirituality in Islamic philosophy, explore the Islamic epistemological framework as a basis for holistic education, and formulate an applicable integrative model for developing the Islamic education system. The study employs a qualitative approach with library research, utilizing classical and contemporary literature, journals, and relevant books. Analysis is conducted through reflective philosophical and content analysis to trace epistemological foundations and develop the integrative model. Findings indicate that the integration of rationality and spirituality based on revelation, reason, and experience forms a holistic educational framework. The integrative model includes a unified curriculum, wisdom-based management, participatory methods, and character- and academic-based evaluation, fostering the development of complete human beings capable of global competitiveness without losing their spiritual roots.

Psikologi Beragama: Dinamika Spiritualitas di Era Modern

Fitri Idani — Tue, 21 Oct 2025 17:42:15 +0800

Ideally, religion functions as a source of meaning, a moral guide, and a fulfillment of human psychological needs amidst the changes of the times. However, the reality shows a shift in the role of religion in the modern era, particularly in developed countries experiencing secularization, while in developing countries, religion remains a central element of social identity. This study aims to explore the dynamics of religious psychology in addressing the spiritual, existential, and social needs of modern humans. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative approach, drawing on primary sources from works in the psychology of religion and secondary sources from journals and international research reports. The findings indicate that religion remains relevant as a psychological and social force, as long as it is understood in a moderate, contextual, and reflective manner to avoid distortions such as fanaticism and radicalism.

Metodologi Penelitian Filsafat; Instrumen Mengurai Pemikiran Kontemporer

M. Anzaikhan — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 12:43:53 +0800

Ideally, the methodology of philosophical research serves as a foundation for rational and critical thinking in unraveling life’s problems; however, in reality, philosophy is often regarded as abstract and distant from actual issues. This study aims to affirm the role of philosophical methodology as a conceptual instrument in understanding and providing direction for contemporary problems. The methodology employed is library research with an analytical-critical qualitative approach, utilizing primary sources from classical and modern philosophical works, as well as secondary sources from recent academic studies. The findings indicate that the methodology of philosophical research, through systematic steps such as concept clarification, argument analysis, and critical reflection, can make a tangible contribution in bridging the gap between the ideality of philosophy and social reality, while also offering conceptual solutions relevant to contemporary dynamics.
