Actualization of Imam Al-Ghazali’s Maslahah Concept in the Context of Mixed Marriage

This abstract discusses the actualization of Imam Al-Ghazali's concept of maslahah within the context of mixed marriages. Imam Al-Ghazali, a prominent Islamic scholar, emphasized the importance of maslahah, which refers to the pursuit of societal welfare and the realization of benefits. Mixed marriages, involving individuals from different religious or cultural backgrounds, have become increasingly common in today's globalized world. However, such unions often present challenges, including cultural clashes, differing religious practices, and potential conflicts within families. In the context of mixed marriages, the concept of maslahah can play a significant role in promoting understanding, harmony, and social cohesion. It encourages individuals and communities to focus on the shared benefits and well-being derived from such unions. By prioritizing maslahah, couples can strive to find common ground, respect each other's beliefs, and foster an inclusive environment that embraces diversity. Imam Al-Ghazali's concept of maslahah emphasizes the importance of mutual consultation (shura) and the preservation of essential values and principles in society. Applied to mixed marriages, this concept encourages open dialogue, understanding, and compromise between partners and their respective families. It highlights the need to prioritize the well-being of individuals and society as a whole over individual desires or differences. The actualization of Imam Al-Ghazali's maslahah concept in the context of mixed marriages requires active engagement from religious scholars, community leaders, and families involved

The Educational Philosophical Thoughts of Abu Hamid Al Ghazali (1058 - 1111) and ‎John Dewey (1859 - 1952): A Comparative Study‎

The purpose of this study was to compare the educational thoughts of Al Ghazali and Dewey, two renowned scholars. In this ‎study, the researcher surveyed Al Ghazali's and Dewey's efforts on education using methodological qualitative research methods, ‎namely constant comparative analysis and discourse analysis, to discuss and evaluate their educational thoughts and to determine ‎their educational philosophical thoughts in order to objectively validate their educational aspects as educators. Similarities and ‎differences were discovered in the results of this study. The results indicated that the educational philosophical implementations ‎of Islamic and Pragmatic thoughts in terms of school curricula, teaching methods, roles of teachers, roles of students, and school ‎roles are viewed differently by each philosopher. Generally, Al Ghazali’s educational philosophical perspectives embody the idea ‎that education involves the intellectual, mental, spiritual, ethical, moral, and physical elements of a person. Whereas, Dewey’s ‎educational philosophical perspectives embody that the person, who is a social being, acquires knowledge through personal ‎experiences and is born with intrinsic skills that education should develop. Education must aim at nurturing and promoting those ‎skills to students’ fullest potential. Both scholars believed that promoting the well-being of children would be the school's role by ‎providing students with curricula enriched with a range of subject matters. Based on the study results, the researcher ‎recommended that those who are concerned with the business of changing lives must realize the importance of teaching ‎philosophy in order to establish their own. The researcher also made a number of recommendations, the most important of which ‎was that future research on this topic should take into account only one educational aspect as opposed to combining all five ‎aspects into a single study.‎ ‎(Keywords: Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali, John Dewey, Educational Philosophical Thoughts, Comparative Study)‎

The Dialectic of the Mind and the Text in Islamic Thought


 
 
 
 ABSTRACT
 
 There are many who deny that this mind plays a central role in Islamic intellectual life, or they oppose its playing of this role. In our troubled days, many non-Muslims see Islam as a fundamental anti-rational force, citing its alleged failure to adapt or conform to the contemporary world (I don't know what's wrong with that?), and mention the doctrine of martyrdom, and very famous examples of anomalous applications in Islamic jurisprudence, and the modern and general secular skepticism, which is related to religion as an organizing principle of human life, and social and political life in particular.
 This is what Imam Al-Ghazali explained by saying: “youshould Know that the intellect will not be guided except by the law, and the law is not clarified except by the intellect. The intellect is like a foundation, and the law is like a building, and a building will not be established unless it is a foundation. And the beam will not sing unless there is sight.”

This paper is a literature study research. Literature study is a scientific work that contains discussion of previous research and scientific references. Literature study is related to theoretical studies and other references related to values, culture and norms that develop in social situations and scientific literature (library research). The conclusions of this paper are 1. Qalbun is a "central system" device of the inner human mind to know and understand something as well as a driving force in human life activities. 2. Qalbun is a medium for entering God's guidance with the condition that the heart is filled with faith first. 3. Qalbun has a potential that must be guarded and used wisely.
