Theological Perspective of Jabariyah Through Cognitive Psychology and Decision-Making Implications
Kata Kunci:
Cognitive Psychology, Decision-Making, Jabariyah TheologyAbstrak
This study aims to examine Jabariyah theology through the framework of cognitive psychology and its impact on individula decision-making processes. Jabariyah theology asserts that all event occur solely ty the absolute will of God, without human intervention, which has implications for the development of an external locus of control whitin the cognitive structure. This research employs a library research method, utilizing secondary data drawn from classical and contemporary literature, scholary jurnals, academic articles, and scientific publicatios discussing the concept of Jabariyah and cognitive psychological theories. The analysis is conducted using a desciptive-qualitative approach to explore the relationship between theological doctrines and cognitive mechanisms in decision-making. The finding indicate that internalization of Jabariyah theology may lead to passive attitudes and a reliance on fate, which influence individual motivation and initiative in making desision. However, variations in interpretation exist, with some individuals managing to integrate the Jabariyah concept with the principle of human effort (ikhtiar), thereby maintaining adaptive and dynamic decision-making. This study contributes to the interdisciplinary understanding between Islamic theology and cognitive psyvhology and opens opportunities for the deelopment of new theories concerning the relationship between religious beliefs and human cognitive processes.
