Objective: This study explores the relationship between determinism (Jabriyya) and al-Mu'tazila in Islamic thought, focusing on individual freedom, will, and responsibility. It examines how these philosophical debates have historically shaped understandings of authority and human accountability, and how they relate to contemporary issues such as despotism, suppression of freedoms, and social justice.
Methods: A comparative analytical approach was employed, analyzing theological and philosophical texts from determinist and Mu'tazilite schools. The study compares their positions on human agency and moral responsibility, linking classical debates to contemporary social and political contexts.
Results: The analysis reveals that determinist doctrines justify authority through divine predestination, while Mu'tazilite thought emphasizes human responsibility and moral choice. Recognizing these perspectives provides valuable insights for contemporary discussions on governance, human rights, and social justice. The study shows that classical Islamic concepts of freedom and will remain relevant for understanding and addressing modern challenges related to authority and societal accountability.
Conclusions: Revisiting Islamic philosophical debates on determinism and freedom can inform contemporary approaches to justice, governance, and individual rights. Integrating insights from both deterministic and Mu'tazilite thought offers conceptual tools to critically assess authority, promote accountability, and enhance social justice. This demonstrates the enduring relevance of historical Islamic thought in addressing modern socio-political issues.
