Abstract:
“Quranic anthropology necessitates the acceptance of human fitrah (innate disposition), meaning that humans possess ‘specific inherent characteristics’ that other beings lack. From the perspective that any anthropological basis can extend into dimensions of human sciences (subject matter, objectives, issues, and methodology), researchers of Islamic human sciences, such as in the domain of policy and methodology, confront the question of whether accepting this anthropological basis can have methodological impacts on human sciences. This research is predicated on the assumption that accepting the principle of fitrah has the capacity for methodological influence in human sciences like political science. It endeavors to demonstrate this influence across three arenas. The present research, organized using a descriptive-analytical method, and by drawing upon the results of previous research, asserts that: Firstly, holistic methods should be employed in the sciences. Secondly, the methods of human sciences (appropriate to the fitrah dimension of humans) should be hybrid (based on sources such as revelation alongside ‘innate disposition’). Thirdly, because fitrah is susceptible to corruption, the presence of a revelatory source in the methodology of human and political sciences is essential.”
