| description |
Harun Nasution is an important name in the reformation
of religious thought in Indonesia. His ideal of reformation
is modelled along the classical rational thought of
Mu'tazilah. He had acquired the profound interest in
the theology of the latter while writing his PhD thesis
at McGill University, Canada. To him, the Mu'tazilah
theology demonstrated the importance of human intellect,
that is, Islam is a rational religion, a religion which runs
in tandem with reason. The mindset of the society needs
to free from dogmatic and legalistic traditions to enable
it to realize its potentials and abilities to change from a
traditional society to a contemporary society in tandem
with the demands of modernization. Harun Nasution believed that Islam is not hosed on narrow and rigid doctrines but in its real essence has a broad and wide horizon and that it allows space for interpretation via allegorical and liberal manner. |
