Pendekatan Filologi Dalam Studi Islam; Analisis Teoritis dan Metodologis
Abstract
The philological approach in Islamic studies is an analytical method that examines ancient texts and written works to gain a deep understanding of the culture, thought, and values upheld by Islamic societies of the past. Philology, as a discipline within the humanities, focuses on the critical study of ancient manuscripts, including the Qur'an, Hadiths of the Prophet, as well as other literature and historical documents. This approach involves textual analysis, tracing origins, and interpreting the historical context of these texts. Through philology, researchers can identify changes, damage, and adaptations that have occurred in these manuscripts over time. Thus, philology not only plays a role in the conservation and restoration of ancient texts but also provides valuable insights into the development of Islamic thought and culture over the ages. Philological studies in Islam help in understanding and interpreting the intellectual and spiritual heritage that remains relevant to contemporary Islamic society.
