ISLAMIC EPISTEMOLOGICAL PARADIGM: AN ANALYTICAL-CONCEPTUAL STUDY OF BAYANI, BURHANI, AND IRFANI AND THEIR RELEVANCE IN MODERN CIVILIZATION

Abstract

Epistemology is a branch of philosophy that specifically discusses the theory of knowledge. Philosophy is called the mother of science because it explores the nature, origins, and ethical or aesthetic values that form the basis of various scientific disciplines. Western epistemology generally discusses rationalism and empiricism, but has not yet met the needs of Muslims to form a scientific framework for Islamic education in integrating revelation, reason, and spiritual experience as a whole. Therefore, a conceptual study of Islamic epistemology Bayani, Burhani, and Irfani and its relevance to the challenges of modern civilization is very necessary by conducting analytical and conceptual studies. The purpose of this research is to conceptually analyze the paradigm of Islamic epistemology through the Bayani, Burhani, and Irfani approaches and examine its relevance in the development of modern civilization. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with a library research type that collects and analyzes various literature sources as the main data. The results of the study show that the three epistemologies support each other in a specific role pattern: bayani plays a role in maintaining textual legitimacy, burhani strengthens critical reasoning and scientific rationality, while irfani instills a moral-spiritual dimension, so that the integration of the three becomes a concrete answer to the moral crisis due to technological acceleration and disorientation of generation Z education. In the field of Islamic education, the bayani approach can be used in strengthening the understanding of nash and turats books, burhani is used to encourage critical thinking and scientific reasoning, while irfani can strengthen the moral and spiritual aspects of students. All three, if integrated in the educational curriculum, will produce students who are balanced textually, rationally, and spiritually
