- Abstract
This article discusses the al-Asy’ariyyah theory of al-Kasb and its important role in improving work productivity. It further analyzes how the alAsy’ariyyah school of thought exists in Muslim life; examines whether the theory has shackled the mind and freedom of human beings and led the adherents to fatalism, determinism, or Jabariyyah; and determines the specific roles played by the theory in improving work productivity. This study adopted a library research method by analyzing the works of Abū al-Hasan al-Asy’arī, al-Bāqillānī, al-Juwaynī, and al-gazālī to reveal the theory’s methodology and theology. The results of the analysis suggest that al-Asy’ariyyah contains openness, realistic, and dynamic theological concepts that can encourage the adherents to be creative and productive in upholding the dignity of humanity and responding to the advancement of science and technology. In conclusion, al-Asy’ariyyah cannot be categorized as fatalism, determinism, or Jabariyyah since this theological concept respects the mind (aql) as the divine gift from Allah and intelligence (naqal) as actual divine guidance.
