Abstract

This study aims to comparatively analyze the thought of Kuntowijoyo on Prophetic Social Science and Fazlur Rahman on Islamic interpretive methodology, as well as to examine their relevance in Islamic social transformation. This research employs a qualitative approach using a library research design, with data collected through documentation of primary works and supporting literature. Data analysis is conducted using a descriptive-comparative method with a philosophical approach. The findings reveal that Kuntowijoyo proposes a transformative paradigm based on humanization, liberation, and transcendence, while Fazlur Rahman emphasizes a contextual Qur’anic interpretation through the double movement method. Both share a transformative vision of Islam but differ in epistemological and practical approaches. This study contributes by offering a synthesis between methodological and practical frameworks as an integrative model for addressing contemporary Muslim social issues.
