Tasawuf Sebagai Poros Integrasi Keilmuan
Keywords:
Integration of Knowledge, Monotheistic Epistemology, Iman, Islam, IhsanAbstract
The discourse on the integration of knowledge within Islam addresses an urgent need for the Muslim community (ummah) as it confronts the challenges of modernity. Historically, classical Islamic disciplines—such as kalam (theology), fiqh (jurisprudence), falsafah (philosophy), and tasawwuf (Sufism)—have been perceived as stagnant, whereas Western sciences have advanced rapidly. This has given rise to a dichotomy between religious and secular knowledge, resulting in a crisis of relevance for Islamic education. A solution lies in an integralistic model of knowledge that harmonizes Islamic values with the relevance of modern science, thereby enabling the community to address contemporary issues. Within Islamic scholarship, tasawwuf serves as the axis for this integration through a metaphysical trilogy: the Divine (ilāhiyyah), the cosmos (kawniyyah), and humanity (insāniyyah). These are the three aspects that form the ontological, epistemological, and axiological foundations of the Islamic intellectual framework. Consequently, īmān (faith), Islām (submission), and iḥsān (spiritual excellence) are understood not merely in theological terms, but as the bedrock for the comprehensive development of knowledge. This paper explores the repositioning of tasawwuf as an integral component—and even the axis—of Islamic scholarship; it aims to resolve the dichotomy between religious and secular knowledge while meeting the community's need for a holistic, relevant, and God-oriented intellectual frameworkReferences
