Rector of UIN Jakarta inaugurates Ahmad Syahid as Professor of Islamic thought
Main Auditorium, UIN News Online – Ahmad Syahid, lecturer at the Faculty of Psychology at UIN Jakarta, was appointed as a professor of Islamic Thought on Wednesday (01/13/2021) at Harun Nasution Auditorium, Campus I of UIN Jakarta.
On the same occasion, lecturer at the Faculty of Psychology, Bambang Suryadi, also appointed as a professor in the field of Educational Psychology and Counseling. Unlike Ahmad Syahid, the inauguration of a professor for Bambang Suryadi was held virtually from Cairo, Egypt. In addition to being listed as a professor at the Faculty of Psychology, Bambang Suryadi also served as an Education and Culture Attache at the Indonesian Embassy in Cairo.
In his speech entitled "Manusia Manusia Polymath", Ahmad Syahid said that in Islam, conscious intention has been recorded as half of deeds. From the perspective of psychology, epistemology, and philosophy, it can be said that the conscious intention of man does not reach apperception nor does it lead to empirical awareness.
According to Ahmad, Realizing intentions in conscious reality is considered as a perfection of action. Intention is the spirit which is the condition for the self-determination of polymath humans, who maintains their own “identity” in an effort to create oneself as a divine image, so that from the intention to materialize a masterpiece it is always thesis, scientific and aesthetic at the same time.
“We can borrow Iqbal's thoughts about Ego, as Asrar-i-Khudî and take inspiration from the concept of Théodicée Leibniz, that humans live in the best possible world because humans and this world were created by God,” he said.
Leibniz's view, according to Syahid, is similar to the theological view of Ma'bad al-Juhanni in Basrah, Iraq, the founders of the firqah qadariyah that developed in the 7th century.
“We can build a beautiful, as good, wise, and as fertile life of human civilization we want in order to get closer to, even to return, to God,” said Ahmad. (usa/ns)
