Abstract


This study examines the complex relationship between philosophy and religion, which, despite their inherent interconnectedness, have increasingly diverged in recent centuries. While religious individuals view their beliefs as rooted in absolute truth from divine grace, philosophers argue that deeper truths can be uncovered through philosophical reasoning. Previous attempts to reconcile these fields, particularly in Islamic universities, have often focused on aligning the scientific dimensions of kawniyah (worldly) and qawliyah (scriptural) rather than truly integrating them. Using a qualitative literature review methodology, this research involved seven key steps: identifying and classifying relevant sources, processing and presenting data, and employing reflective abstraction to analyze philosophical and religious ideas. The findings reveal the shortcomings of existing efforts to unify philosophy and religion, highlighting the need for new perspectives on this issue. This study aims to contribute to the dialogue by offering insights that may promote a more meaningful integration of philosophical thought and religious belief.
