DIALEKTIKA PEMBARUAN ISLAM DALAM PEMBACAAN FAZLUR RAHMAN

This article will explain the development of modern thought. especially the reforms in Islam that have been shared by Fazlur Rahman. This study uses library research by tracing sources written by Fazlur Rahman himself and several scholars who discuss Islamic reform thinking. In his research, Fazlur Rahman found four patterns of reform thinking in Islam, among others; Pre-Modern Revivalism, Classical Modernism, Neo-Revivalism and the last is Neo-Modernism. Rahman conducted his research based on the time span from the 18th century to the early half of the 20th century. From the readings made by Fazlur Rahman, each movement carries its own idea. For example, the movement in the 18th century was characterized by Islamic purification, which sought to restore Islam to the time of the Prophet. Then entering the twentieth century, the style of Islam was influenced by modern movements and thoughts that came from the west because the interaction of Islamic thought and modernism strengthened in that century. However, for Rahman, the movement failed to respond to the needs of Muslims today, so he claimed to be the representative of the Islamic Neo-Modernism movement which he himself initiated to answer the needs of Islam today.
