History of Tomorrow
I still remember the idea of Ali Shariati that the philosophy of history rather than just talk on the issues behind the reality of history, but also related to the future of mankind (the history of tomorrow). For me, the philosophy of history Shari'ati version is a concept that is truly unique because it is usually in the various schools of philosophy of history that developed in the Western world often forget about the problems that lead to the future of humanity. So is the very lack of Muslim philosophers who give great attention to the future of mankind.
Unfortunately, Shariati now a number of books that I used for the research thesis is not clearly exist. You know borrowed and not returned. Might be brought back to his hometown.
In my opinion, Motahhari and Shariati were two major figures of modern Islam. Both have influenced the way of life and intellectual development of Indonesian Muslims, including me. Academics such as Jalaluddin Rakhmat Ustadz, Azyumardi Azra, Afif Mohammed, and Haidar Bagir, including the admitted influence.
The second figure is the intellectual Iran does have a different character in the thinking and the different political tendencies. If Motahhari close to Khomeini's clerical and support the movement of the faqih who tout the Shiite Islamic system of government-modern (teodemokrasi) which now prevails in Iran. While Shariati more precisely be called Western-influenced.
Ali Shariati, a graduate scholar Universtas Sorbonne (France) and had studied in school for prospective scholars, providing critique on the notion that Khomeini. Shariati argues, people who are not scholars can understand Islam better and could have a better role in society than the clergy. Ati filed rausyanfikr Sharia (the enlightened intellectual) as the person most entitled to control supernatural powers during the Imam Mahdi.
Until now the debate is the legacy of Iran's Islamic political thought followed by Abdul Karim Soroush and Sayed Hossen Nasr intellectually continue to criticize Iran's Islamic system of government the faqih. Soroush very subtle krtitiknya and suggested to be changed with the administration of religious democracy. Abdul Karim Soroush assess the al-faqih is an imitation of the Christian doctrine that gives full rights to the Church Fathers. The scholars who now hold power and rule, he argues, is not free from error and personal preference in managing the country. With the presence of such scholars as if the government becomes sacred and antikritik. Not uncommon for people who seek to criticize even considered against and not a little disposed to go abroad. Instead appreciated even eliminated.
According to Soroush, Islam meposisikan same as other Muslim clerics for not ma `sum so that the figure could be wrong faqih and the Leader and his opinions could be criticized for not sacred. Apart from God, the Prophet, and Imam, Soroush allowed to disobey if not in accordance with the spirit of Islam or not relevant to the context of the times. Soroush religion offers democratic governance (democratic religious government) as a replacement for the al-faqih.
It is a dynamic human thought there is nothing sacred. Imam Khomeini and a number of scholars who serve marja'taqlid is not a saint like the Prophet Muhammad and the Ahlul-Bayt Aimmah. Therefore, each time emerging criticism related to the ideas and results of marja taqlid ijtihad is not something to be criticized, let alone condemned. Thought must be confronted in mind, not with condemnation or reveal things that are inappropriate. And, I think Muslims today are getting smarter and have the freedom to pick and sort out the "truth" among the truths that circulated around the world
