Ateisme di Dunia Islam

2025-02-12T18:09:47+08:00

Artikel ini mengkaji fenomena ateisme dalam dunia Islam dari perspektif sejarah, teologis, filosofis, dan sosial-politik. Dalam perkembangan intelektual Islam, pemikiran kritis terhadap dogma keagamaan telah muncul sejak era klasik, yang kemudian dipengaruhi oleh filsafat Barat dan modernitas. Para filsuf Muslim seperti Al-Farabi, Ibnu Sina, dan Ibnu Rushd mengintegrasikan rasionalitas dengan keimanan, sementara pemikir kontemporer seperti Abdolkarim Soroush menekankan pentingnya reinterpretasi agama dalam menghadapi tantangan zaman. Artikel ini membahas dampak sosial dan politik dari ateisme dalam masyarakat Muslim, termasuk pergeseran paradigma keagamaan akibat globalisasi, kebebasan berpendapat, dan reformasi pendidikan. Meskipun ateisme sering kali dipandang sebagai ancaman terhadap identitas keislaman, fenomena ini juga mencerminkan pencarian kebenaran melalui pendekatan rasional dan ilmiah. Perdebatan antara tradisi dan modernitas memunculkan kebutuhan akan dialog yang konstruktif dalam menyikapi pluralitas pemikiran. Kesimpulannya, ateisme dalam Islam bukan sekadar penolakan terhadap keimanan, tetapi juga bentuk refleksi kritis terhadap praktik keagamaan dan sistem sosial yang ada. Dengan pendekatan yang inklusif dan berbasis dialog, kajian mengenai ateisme dalam Islam dapat berkontribusi terhadap pemahaman yang lebih mendalam tentang relasi antara iman, rasionalitas, dan dinamika sosial-kultural di dunia Islam.

2025-01-02T17:28:50+08:00

This paper tries to understand the Qur'an with a semantic approach carried out by Thosihiko Izutsu. The choice of using a semantic view in understanding the Qur'an can be done in various steps taken in the semantic Thosihiko Izutsu is to search for keywords, find basic meanings, and relational meanings which include syntagmatic and paradigmatic analysis, in addition to that the semantic weltanschauung of the Qur'an is also studied, Diachronic and synchronic semantics are also a search for history, local culture, and people's mindsets. Thus, semantic analysis wants to present the importance of understanding the Qur'an's fragmented ideas in order to achieve its total idea (its worldview). The importance of capturing the Qur'an's worldview is closely related to the function of the Qur'an as guidance. The fact that the Qur'an was revealed for the benefit of mankind requires a proper understanding of the teachings contained in it. An interpretation is considered valid if it is able to express God's intentions. Because the Qur'an is not written by someone, but by God, so the emphasis that the Qur'an must be understood comprehensively.

This study examines the political thought of Ayatollah Khomeini, focusing on the concept of wilāyatul faqīh and how this concept contested with monarchy and democracy in the theoretical and practical realms at the beginning of the emergence of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In the theoretical realm, this study examines the thoughts of Ayatollah Khomeini as the leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, who proposed wilāyatul faqīh as the foundation of Iran's new state after the success of the revolution. This study also compares the concept with monarchy and democracy in Khomeini's political thought. Practically, this study begins with a chronicle of Khomeini's political career to posit his theoretical thoughts in the chronology of the success of the 1979 Iranian Revolution. This study shows that Khomeini's total rejection of monarchy was initially triggered by his political journey which ultimately revised all his views on monarchy. His acceptance of democracy was more due to its coherence with the Islamic values he adhered to. At the end of the discussion, this study reviews how the application of wilāyatul faqīh in Iran anticipated the emergence of despotism.
