Abstract

The existence of the impact of COVID-19 last year has brought quite significant changes to the order of human life throughout the world. These changes or transformations are very important to pay attention to. On the other hand, the existence of values ​​in Islam believed by its adherents is considered capable of overcoming the problems of the impact of COVID-19. There is a popular adage about Islam as a religion of mercy for the entire universe (rahmatan lil al‑‘ālamīn) and always relevant to all developments in the temporal and local context (al‑Shālih li kulli al‑Zamān wa al‑Makān) often used as the theological foundation of Muslim society in their lives. In this context, is it true that Islam can overcome the impact of COVID-19? Then how should Islam itself be realized? Therefore this research offers the concept of Islamic renewal to be realized in the post-COVID-19 era. This research also uses a philosophical approach and a method of critical analysis of certain concepts in Islamic studies. The results of this study indicate that there are demands for change and innovation in the theory of Islamic thought compatible with the spirit of changing times. More than that, this innovation is then formulated by presenting the idea of ​​“Islamic Science” as a model for dealing with the current impact of COVID-19.
