Makna Dan Matlamat Agama Dalam Islam Menurut Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas
The Meaning and Aim of Religion in Islam According to Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas
Keywords:
Religion, Secular, Worldview, God, CovenantAbstract
Religion, despite being an important subject that is sought after by many these days, could sometimes, due to confusion and ignorance, be the cause of conflict and disunity. The diverse attempts at explaining religions that are at times conflicting with one another would only cause more confusion among Muslims in understanding the true religion of Islam. Such confusion only deepens when some explanations are given based on a framework that is foreign to the worldview of Islam. This article discusses the exposition of the meaning of religion and its basic principles by Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas in his major works. Using semantic analysis, al-Attas connects many important Quranic concepts to a harmonious understanding of religion.
