Theology As Revolutionary: Harun Nasution's Paradigm On The Challenges Of Globalization
Keywords:
Harun Nasution, globalization, Islamic thought.Abstract
Globalization presents various multidimensional challenges for Muslims, ranging from cultural domination and social inequality to the marginalization of religious values in the public sphere. These conditions call for the formulation of a theology that is not only normative and dogmatic, but also capable of giving rise to critical awareness and transformative praxis. This article aims to analyses the paradigm of theology as revolutionary consciousness in Hasan Hanafi's thinking and its relevance in responding to the challenges of globalization. This study uses qualitative methods with a literature review approach and conceptual analysis of Harun Nasution's major works. The results of the study show that theology in Harun Nasution's perspective does not stop at the dimension of individual faith, but functions as an ideological consciousness that arouses resistance to structural injustice, Western hegemony, and the alienation of modern humans. Theology is positioned as a liberating force that sides with social reality and the needs of the people. In the context of globalization, this paradigm offers a contextual, critical, and emancipatory theological framework, enabling Islamic theology to play an active role in building social awareness and transforming civilization.
