PENERAPAN KONSEP AL-MUSTAWI DALAM ARGUMEN LOGIKA ISLAM

Abstract

The concept of "Al-Mustawi" (equality or parallelism) is a fundamental principle in Islamic logic (manthiq) that serves as the foundation for fair and balanced reasoning. This abstract discusses the application of Al-Mustawi in constructing and evaluating logical arguments within an Islamic framework, focusing on how this principle ensures the validity and truth of a conclusion. Etymologically, Al-Mustawi refers to a condition in which two or more things are considered equal or balanced in a relationship or comparison. In the context of Islamic logic, this principle is used to ensure that the premises used in an argument (syllogism or qiyas) have equal weight, relevance, and validity. The goal is to avoid flawed or unfair arguments, which often arise from disproportionate or biased comparisons. This study aims to analyze the application of the Al-Mustawi concept in Islamic logical arguments. Al-Mustawi is a concept in Islamic logic that refers to the possibility or ability of something to exist or occur. This study used a qualitative analysis method with a literature review approach. The results show that Al-Mustawi can be used to identify the possibility or ability of something, analyze premises, determine conclusions, and avoid logical fallacies. The application of Al-Mustawi in Islamic logical arguments can improve accuracy, avoid errors, and enhance understanding of logical concepts and arguments. This research is expected to contribute to the development of Islamic logic and improve the quality of arguments in Islamic scholarly discussions.
