TEOLOGI MUHAMMAD ABDUH: KAJIAN KITAB RISALAT AL-TAWHID
Abstract: This article
discusses the renewal of of Islamic theology proposed by Muhammad ‘Abduh in the
modern era, especially in his work Risâlat al-Tawhîd. In this case, ‘Abduh
provided the highest position of reason in interpreting al-Qur’ân. In fact, if
there is a contradiction between reason against revelation, the revelation
should be interpreted in accordance with the provisions of reason. In addition,
by criticizing the fatalistic theology of Jabarîyah, ‘Abduh gave the humans
freedom to do anything according to their will. This is because by using their
mind (reason), humans are able to consider the act they were doing along with
their consequences, to make decisions based on their own will, and to realize
their deeds based on their own resources. However, ‘Abduh emphasized that such
freedom is not an absolute freedom.
