FILSAFAT ISLAM DAN HUMANISME

Abstract

Islamic philosophy and humanism are two interconnected concepts that provide a comprehensive understanding of human nature and the objectives of education. This study aims to examine the integration of Islamic philosophy and humanism and explore their relevance to contemporary education. The research employed a qualitative approach using a library research method by analyzing relevant scholarly sources, including books, journal articles, and academic publications. The findings reveal that Islamic philosophy views human beings as possessing intellectual, spiritual, and moral potentials that should be developed in a balanced manner within the framework of tawhid (the oneness of God). In contrast to Western humanism, which is predominantly anthropocentric, Islamic humanism is theocentric, positioning God as the ultimate center while emphasizing human dignity and responsibility. The integration of these perspectives gives rise to the concept of religious humanism, which promotes a balance between freedom of thought and moral accountability. In the educational context, the implementation of these values contributes to the development of a holistic and humanistic educational system aimed at nurturing insan kamil (the complete human being). Therefore, the integration of Islamic philosophy and humanism offers a relevant conceptual framework for addressing the challenges of moral decline and dehumanization in the modern era while fostering learners' intellectual, ethical, and spiritual development.
