EPISTEMOLOGI INTEGRATIF BAYANI-BURHANI-IRFANI: KERANGKA HOLISTIK KONTEMPORER

Abstract

This article analyzes integrative the epistemology of Bayani, Burhani, and Irfani as a holistic framework within contemporary Islamic intellectual scholarship. These epistemologies embody different methodological orientations: Bayani is grounded in textual authority, Burhani is based on rationality and scientific logic, and Irfani relies on intuition and spiritual experience. In modern contexts, tensions among these sources of knowledge often lead to fragmented perspectives, ranging from rigid textualism to unstructured spiritualism. This study employs a qualitative descriptive–analytical method, examining both classical and contemporary literature to map the epistemological characteristics of the three approaches, assess their relevance to current issues, and formulate an integrative model. The findings reveal that integrating Bayani as a normative foundation, Burhani as a rational-analytical instrument, and Irfani as an ethical-spiritual deepening produces a comprehensive paradigm capable of addressing contemporary challenges such as technological ethics, religious polarization, and spiritual crises. Ultimately, the Bayani–Burhani–Irfani integrative framework offers a unified epistemic model that harmonizes revelation, reason, and intuition to support a balanced and adaptive Islamic civilization.
