Religious Concept

Among scientists, works to invent a comprehensive religious concept for all human beings are still underway. In a literal sense, there are various constraints in formulating the concept of religion in order to be completely accepted by all circles. Some of which are obstacles related to the sacredness of religious meanings and constraints due to the inner feelings of the adherents. In accordance with religion's function, scientists agree that religion has a key role in constructively managing human life. By employing the literature study method, this article, therefore, seeks to explain the problems faced by scientists in the field of social studies in formulating the concept of religion, then present a solution in order to reinterpret the concept of religion by referring to the term “al-Islam” in the Quran which generates some elements applied as a foundation or the basis in explaining the concept of religion comprehensively. These attempts are considered to integrate between science and religion simultaneously and to shatter their domain of dichotomy. AbstrakUpaya perumusan konsep agama yang komprehensif bagi seluruh ummat manusia masih terus berlangsung dikalangan para ilmuwan.

Sementara terkait fungsi dari agama, para ilmuwan sepakat jika agama memiliki peran penting dalam menata kehidupan manusia secara positif. Artikel ini, melalui metode kajian studi kepustakaan, berupaya untuk memaparkan problematika para ilmuwan sosial dalam merumuskan konsep agama, kemudian menawarkan solusi untuk dapat melakukan reinterpretasi konsep agama dengan merujuk pada term al-Islam dalam Alquran guna menghasilkan beberapa unsur yang dapat dijadikan fondasi atau landasan dasar dalam menjelaskan konsep agama secara komprehensif.
