Islamic Intellectual Awareness in the Age of Globalization: Between the Need for Thought Renewal and the Construction of a New Consciousness"

Abstract

This research, titled "Islamic Intellectual Awareness in the Age of Globalization: Between the Need to Renew Thought and the Construction of a New Consciousness," aims to examine the intellectual challenges facing the Islamic nation amid rapidly accelerating global transformations. It highlights the urgent need to renew Islamic discourse so that it can effectively engage with contemporary realities without compromising its authentic principles.                                          

The study explores the nature of contemporary Islamic thought and the concept of consciousness in light of cultural and technological changes. It then discusses the impact of globalization on Islamic identity before reviewing contemporary intellectual experiences in renewal and awareness-building.                                                                                   

The research emphasizes that Islam, at its core, possesses the depth and flexibility required to keep pace with modern times—provided that it is reread through critical insight and an open mind. Renewal in Islamic thought is not a rupture with heritage; rather, it is a restoration of its spirit and its higher objectives, which are centered on justice, dignity, rationality, and human cohesion.
