The Dilemma of the Translation Concept in Islamic Sources

Article July 23, 2019

Epistemology is a theory of knowledge, especially with regards to its methods, validity, and scope; it is an investigation of what distinguishes that which needs to be justified as belief or opinion. In explaining the monotheistic law, the religious perspective looks at the Quranic epistemology as a theory of knowledge which is an absolutely primordial and ineluctable precept of the oneness of God as the prior premise. In explaining knowledge formation based on emergent, events the contemporary Islamic scholars have failed to incorporate substantively the Quranic methodology worldview in the form of epistemological analytics and its function. How to understand Quranic epistemology? The prerequisite is an understanding of the Arabic language, including syntax, morphology, rhetoric, and the ability to recite the Quran. Without these, Islamization of knowledge would regards as academic rhetoric. This research critically discusses issues on some blockages facing the Islamization agenda.
