INTERPRETASI HERMENEUTIKA PEMBEBASAN HASAN HANAFI DALAM IMPLEMENTASI PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DIINDONESIA

Abstract

This study examines Hasan Hanafi's concept of liberation hermeneutics and its implementation in Islamic education in Indonesia. Hasan Hanafi, an Egyptian philosopher, views liberation hermeneutics as a critical approach that guides Muslims toward a process of social transformation and contextual thinking. The liberation hermeneutics proposed by Hanafi aims to free Muslims from the confines of narrow and dogmatic thinking toward a more dynamic and socially relevant understanding. In the context of Islamic education in Indonesia, this approach can help shape an educational paradigm that not only focuses on the literal understanding of religious texts but also emphasizes ethics, social justice values, and critical awareness. Through the liberation hermeneutics approach, Islamic education is expected to become a medium of liberation that encourages students to think critically, be sensitive to social issues, and positively contribute to societal transformation. This research uses literature review methods with a qualitative approach to understand the relevance and application of Hanafi’s concept within the Islamic education system in Indonesia. The results show that Hasan Hanafi's concept of liberation hermeneutics is relevant to be applied in the context of Islamic education in Indonesia, which faces the challenges of modernization and pluralism. This hermeneutics can serve as a critical tool for educators to align Islamic values with diverse social realities and to foster an inclusive and progressive younger generation. This interpretation also provides a foundation for implementing Islamic education oriented toward the development of social awareness and universal humanity, in line with Islamic values as a blessing for all creation (rahmatan lil 'alamin).
