Anthropological Approach In Islamic Studies In The Post-Modern Era

Muhammad Ridwan* -  Universitas Islam Negeri Syekh Ali Hasan Ahamad Addary, Indonesia

Abstract


This study examines Islamic anthropology as a field that explores the relationship between Islamic teachings and the social and cultural lives of Muslims in diverse contexts. In the era of globalization, Islamic beliefs and practices vary across regions due to local social, political, and cultural influences. This diversity highlights the need to understand how Islamic teachings are adapted in everyday life and how they shape Muslim social and cultural identities. Using a descriptive-analytical method with content analysis, this study draws on relevant journals, articles, and books to analyze how Islamic teachings are practiced and interpreted in society. The findings show that Islam functions not only as a normative belief system but also as a socio-cultural framework that shapes Muslim lifestyles. Religious practices such as prayer, zakat, fasting, and hajj play an important role in strengthening social solidarity and community life. Overall, Islamic anthropology contributes to understanding Islam as a “lived religion,” shaped by the interaction between religious texts, culture, and social experience, resulting in dynamic and adaptive expressions of faith.
