Topic and Objectives: This research critically examines the civilizational thought of Muhammad Abed al-Jabri with an emphasis on Quranic teachings. The main focus of the study is to analyze and critique four key aspects of Jabri's thought, which include epistemological systems (linguistic, mystical, and rational), the theory of "tribe, spoils, and belief," epistemological rupture, and civilizational secularism. The primary issue is evaluating the compatibility of these theories with Quranic foundations in the fields of epistemology, politics, and Islamic civilization. The goal of the study is to examine Jabri's reductionist approach and align it with Quranic principles to highlight the limitations of his perspective.



Methodology and Findings: The research method is descriptive, analytical, and critical, employing a comparative approach to assess Jabri's viewpoints in light of Quranic teachings. The findings indicate that Jabri's theory of epistemological systems, emphasizing the conflict between linguistic, mystical, and rational reasoning, disregards the continuity and comprehensiveness of Islamic knowledge. Moreover, the theory of "tribe, spoils, and belief," with its focus on material factors, neglects the ethical and revelatory dimensions of Islamic civilization. The theory of epistemological rupture also undermines the intellectual coherence of Islam by denying the continuity of knowledge, and Jabri's view of civilizational secularism, which separates religion from politics, is incompatible with Quranic principles.



Conclusion: The research findings suggest that Jabri's civilizational thought, with its one-dimensional analysis and reliance on Western methodologies, fails to provide a comprehensive and coherent explanation of Islamic knowledge. This viewpoint conflicts with Quranic principles in areas such as social justice, freedom of belief, and the unity of religion and politics, and ultimately falls short in presenting an effective model for the revival of Islamic civilization.
