Paradigma Integratif-Interkonektif M. Amin Abdullah; Telaah Hermeneutika al-Quran dalam Konteks Keilmuan Interdisipliner

Abstract

This article examines the integrativeinterconnective paradigm developed by M. Amin Abdullah as an epistemological framework for the development of Quranic hermeneutics amid the growing prominence of interdisciplinary approaches in scholarship. The study departs from the problem of the dichotomy between normative Islamic sciences and the socialhumanities sciences, which has long influenced methods of Quranic interpretation, often resulting either in ahistorical textual readings or, conversely, contextual approaches that lose their normative grounding. Employing a qualitative approach through critical library research, this study analyzes Amin Abdullahs key ideas on the integration and interconnection of knowledge and their relevance to the development of contemporary Quranic hermeneutics. The findings indicate that Amin Abdullahs integrativeinterconnective paradigm offers a hermeneutical model that positions the Quran as a normative text continuously engaged in dialogue with historical, social, and cultural contexts. This approach creates space for the utilization of various disciplinessuch as linguistics, history, sociology, and anthropologywithout negating the authority of the revealed text. Within an interdisciplinary scholarly context, this paradigm functions as a methodological bridge for addressing the complexity of modern Muslim issues in a more comprehensive and responsible manner.
