Sastra Islami Kontemporer Najib al-Kilani dalam Memahami Manusia
Abstract: The object of this
paper is man in the modern Islamic literature. The man that it deals with is a
modern man, a man overwhelmed by psychological deceases ranging from
loneliness, sadness, depression, and the likes. The paper maintains first and
foremost that modernity has brought about a serious challenge for modern man.
The high standard of living, the demands of life, and the competition among
individuals have all been a source for the deepening malaises of the modern
man. All this, the paper argues has been reflected in the contemporary Islamic
literature whose vibrant expression of modern life has stood a strong
indication of the plight of modern man. Contemporary Islamic literature in
other words, is the medium through which we can understand the dilemma of
modern man as well as the medium through which modern men can resort to express
their feeling and live-experience. By Islamic literature we mean any literature
that has an ontic and epistemic relationship with the authoritative sources of
Islam.
