This article examines the ontological foundations of philosophical posthumanism and critically examines its central claims through the lens of contemporary Muslim thought. Rooted in postmodern critiques of Enlightenment humanism, posthumanism challenges conventional ideas of human identity, agency, and moral status by emphasizing hybridity, technological mediation, and the interconnectedness of all forms of life—including animals, machines, and e…

Mafhūmu Fiqhi al-Marātib wa Fiqhi al-Awlawiyyāt fī Maqāṣidi al-Qurʾān
The debate on the concept of maqāṣid continues to develop dynamically as its relevance to various situations and times.

Ironically, religious understanding derived from it loses its spirit while maqāṣid is o…

Intercultural Theology in the Multicultural Context of Muslim-Buddhist Relation in Malaysia

Islamic Notion of Happiness (Al-Sa‘ada)
Miskawayh (d.1030), through his famous book on ethics, Tahdhib al-Akhlaq (The Refinement of Character), has separated ethics from other disciplines, offering a very thorough analytical system of Islamic ethics. His Tahdhib al-Akhlaq was thus occupying a prominent place in this particular branch of Islamic ethical literature. It is scarcely an exaggeration to say that most of the later works that deal with this subject such as those by al-Ghazali,…
