Abstract




This work examines the genealogy of Ali Shariati's thinking within the framework of Islam as a religion of protest. Ali Shariati, a Muslim intellectual from Iran, viewed Islam not merely as a spiritual and ritual system, but as a liberating force that sided with the oppressed. Ali Shariati's interpretation of Islamic teachings is formulated radically and historically, drawing on the struggles of the prophets against structural injustice, which he identifies as the sins of tyranny. Among these are authoritarian power, exploitative capitalism, and cultural hegemony. The approach used in this work is philosophical hermeneutics. The researcher processes data beginning with data inventory and classification, in-depth analysis of essence, and critical reflection on data organization. The final results in this article provide a dialectical mapping of spirituality and revolution, particularly about Ali Shariati's thoughts on the Iranian Revolution. Additionally, this work reaffirms the importance of critically examining Islam in terms of liberation and social critique.
