Konsep Pemikiran al Farabi Sebagai Pencetus Teori Kenabian

Abstract

Al-Farabi's theory of prophethood, as explained earlier, is considered the most meaningful endeavor in referring to philosophy and religion. This theory, besides being based on psychology and metaphysics, is also closely related to politics and ethics. This is because Al-Farabi interprets prophethood psychologically and considers it as a means to connect the earth and heaven realms. Later, he assumed that the prophet was a necessity for the life of a country politically and ethically, because his position was referenced not only to the elevation of the individual, but also to the influence he had in society. Prophethood is innate (fitri) not a search result (muktasabah). All efforts that exist in kasab (search), further add to the prophet to be perfect and increase. If a person can achieve a relationship with the upper world, then complete in his hands all the miracles and karomah as excess that violates the habit. This issue, although the secret is not known, can be known through psychological-spiritual pathways. Keywords: Al-Farabi, Originator of the Theory of Prophethood
