PENDEKATAN MULTIDISIPLINER DALAM STUDI ISLAM PERSPEKTIF AMIN ABDULLAH
Abstract
Contemporary Islamic studies face methodological challenges because religious phenomena involve interconnected normative, historical, social, cultural, and empirical dimensions. An approach based on a single discipline may produce a limited understanding of such complexity. This study examines the multidisciplinary approach to Islamic studies from the perspective of M. Amin Abdullah, particularly its relationship with the integration-interconnection paradigm and its implications for Islamic research methodology. The study employs a qualitative library-based method using philosophical and conceptual analysis. Its sources include Abdullah’s works and scholarly articles relevant to Islamic studies methodology. The data are analyzed through conceptual identification, comparison of previous studies, critical interpretation, and argumentative synthesis. The findings indicate that the integration-interconnection paradigm provides an epistemological foundation for dialogue among Islamic sciences, social sciences, humanities, and modern sciences. A multidisciplinary approach enables religious issues to be examined through multiple perspectives without eliminating the methodological characteristics of individual disciplines. This article proposes a conceptual analytical framework comprising problem identification, disciplinary mapping, dialogue among perspectives, and synthesis of findings. The framework emphasizes that the effectiveness of multidisciplinary research depends not on the number of disciplines employed, but on the relevance of perspectives, the depth of dialogue, and the coherence of the resulting arguments.
