Abstract

Over the past two decades, valuable works have emerged in relation to the movement of Islamic humanities, particularly in the field of Islamic Futures Studies. However, the most significant methodological and epistemological gap in this domain lies in the one-dimensional approach to the theoretical and practical aspects of Islamic propositions. This article, through an analytical-descriptive approach based on qualitative data collection, presents a comprehensive proposed model titled "Quranic Systematization" within the discourse of Islamic Futures Studies. This overarching framework is structured around three distinct yet interconnected dimensions: "System Identification in Islamic Futures Studies," "System Building in Islamic Futures Studies," and "System Implementation in Islamic Futures Studies," each of which is sequentially dependent on the other for its realization. The first dimension pertains to the conceptual and theoretical aspects, the second focuses on pattern development and modeling, and the third addresses the practical application of the Islamic futures studies system. The initial two dimensions fall under the responsibility of academic elites and Islamic scholars, while the third dimension is entrusted to policymakers and government-affiliated institutions. The formation of "System Identification in Islamic Futures Studies" critically depends on the credibility and mechanisms for utilizing "Islamic epistemic sources," which play a pivotal role in shaping the outcomes of Muslim futurists. These epistemic sources must be explored through "maximum utilization of Islamic textual sources," "rational-ijtihadi propositions," and "systematic application of religious technologies."
