The science of divinity (ushuluddin) and humanities (humanities) in the digital era is a very relevant topic in the context of higher education today. In this digital era, Islamic studies and Islamic sciences need to be adapted to answer the challenges of uncertain geopolitics where wars occur between Israeli-American Zionists and the Islamic Republic of Iran and Russia and Ukraine.
The Concept of Science of God and Humanity
The science of divinity and humanity is a field of study that focuses on understanding God, religion and humanity. In the Islamic context, this science includes the study of the Qur'an, hadith, philosophy, and Sufism. Scientifically, the science of divinity and humanity can be divided into several subfields. First, Islamic theology (kalam science), the study of the attributes of God, the concept of divinity, and the relationship between God and humans. Second, Islamic philosophy, the study of philosophical concepts in Islam, such as the existence of God, human freedom, and ethics. Third, Sufism, the study of Islamic spirituality, including concepts such as zuhud, tawakkal, and mahabbah. Fourth, Qur'an and hadith studies, the study of Islamic religious texts, including Qur'anic exegesis and hadith criticism.
Meanwhile, humanitarian science in this context includes several fields. First, history, the study of Islamic history, including the history of Islamic civilization, political history, and social history. Second, library and information science, the study of information management, including cataloging, classification, and dissemination of information. Third, Arabic literature, the study of Arabic literature, including poetry, prose, and literary criticism. Thus, the science of divinity and humanity can contribute to a deeper understanding of religion and humanity, and improve the quality of human life in the digital age.
Islamic Studies and Islamic Science
The study of Islam and Islamic science includes the study of Islamic history, religious texts, and religious practices. In the context of the Faculty of Ushuluddin and Adab, these studies need to be oriented to improve the understanding and practice of religion in the digital era. Some examples of scientific studies in this field. The study of the interpretation of the Qur'an with a hermeneutic and contextualization approach. Analysis of hadith with the method of hadith criticism and application in daily life. The study of Islamic philosophy and its relevance to modern science. The study of Sufism and Islamic spirituality in the context of modern life.
For this reason, the study of Islam and Islamic science can contribute to a deeper understanding of religion and humanity, and improve the quality of human life in the midst of uncertain geopolitics.
Contextualization and Contribution
In the context of higher education today, the science of divinity and humanity needs to be adapted to answer uncertain geopolitical challenges. Its contributions include improving the understanding and practice of religion in the digital era, building world peace through interfaith dialog and cooperation, improving digital literacy skills for students and lecturers, and integrating technology in learning to improve the quality of education, especially artificial intelligence (AI).
Thus, the science of divinity and humanity in the digital era can be one of the focuses of study in the Faculty of Ushuluddin and Adab, to answer uncertain geopolitical challenges, improve understanding and practice of religion, and contribute to world peace.
