Historiografi liberalisme dalam kalangan masyarakat Barat: The liberalism historiography among the Western society

This study explains the historiography of liberal thinking. It dated back to Rome and progressed until the Renaissance and the post-modern era. This study also describes the implication of the changes in the Bible, feudalist autonomy, and church dominance in the formation of liberalism in Western society. The development of liberalism in Western culture emphasizes humans as the central axis of decision-making. A thinking pattern that rejects religion and its rules in the decision-making and evaluation processes of certain actions. Western society accepts liberalism as an idea of progress that must be preserved. Liberalism frees those who want to be prosperous and progressive in dominating the world from the ties and rules of religion, which it sees as the opium of society. The rejection of faith in life is the fundamental idea that underlies the construction of modern Western civilization. The study used content analysis methodology to obtain the data and facts from books and documents about liberalism. This study showed that liberalism, which has been the mantra of Western society, has become the choice of a small number of Muslims in Malaysia. This development is marked by the emergence of a view that rejects the role of Shariah rulings in life, such as hijab, men as the imam (leader) for prayers and marital guardianship, inheritance, etc. The adaptation of Western liberalism by Muslim society is inappropriate, as Islam is the religion that liberates humans from human slavery and places good values on the personality and humanity itself
