Al-Ashmawi dan Nalar Kritis Shari‘at: Menemukan Kembali Dimensi yang Hilang dari Wacana Shari‘at Islam
Abstract: Shari’ah is the
heart of Islam because it handles the most fundamental aspects of the religion.
Ironically however, Shari’ah is the most misunderstood dimension of Islam. What
we currently believe as Shari’ah may not be Shari’ah. And the reverse may be
true that what we consider as non-Shari’ah, may in fact be Shari’ah. It is here
that reconstructing our understanding concerning the true meaning of Shari’ah
becomes a matter of necessity. Having this in mind, we are interested in
elaborating the critical views of al-Ashmawi on the notion of Shari’ah hoping
that this will help us to discover the missing –and yet the true- dimension of Shari’ah.
Al-Ashmawi on the whole, is critical against the jargon that only associates
the Shari’ah with its formalization and application.
Keywords: al-Ashmawi, critical
thought, Shari’ah, the missing dimension
