Abstract

abstract

Extreme transmigrationism in the field of monotheism is a serious challenge to the development of a new Islamic civilization. This idea has presented a specific reading of monotheism that has led to limitations in understanding the principle of monotheism. This approach is in contrast to the idea of ijtihad, which has attempted to create a new Islamic civilization based on Shiite rationality in a way that prevents the formation of a balanced and scientific understanding of monotheism among the Islamic community.Now the main question of the research is how does the idea of extreme transferism among extremist Salafis lead to a ossification in the understanding of monotheism and a challenge to the creation of a new Islamic civilization? The findings of this research indicate that neo-Salafists are destroying the doctrinal findings of their predecessors and intend to somehow make the political system of early Islam dominate the modern society.The result of this belief has brought new Islamic civilization with challenges such as seeing Muslim societies as ignorant, ruling on Muslims as infidels and apostates, opposing Islamic sciences, and ultimately disrupting the management of society's affairs. A correct understanding of monotheism under the auspices of rationality can have a significant impact on advancing the goals of ijtihadist thought in the field of civilization creation.
