Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Scientific methodology in positivism paradigm emphasises on the empirical faculty in research. Hence, the Qur’an, as the main source of Islamic epistemology, emphasises on a spiritual faculty that is related to contemplation and evidence seeking activities, which is known as al-fu’ad. Thus, what is the actual concept of al-fu’ad found in the Qur’an? How can this concept be related to an Islamic research methodology? In order to answer these questions, this paper has two main objectives. First, to identify the al-fu’ad concept found in the Qur’an. Second, to analyse it from an Islamic research methodology perspective. This qualitative study had used the content analysis method. Overall, this study found that the Qur’anic concept of al-fu’ad formed an Islamic research methodology based on four aspects, namely epistemology, axiology, ontology and teleology.
