Integration of Needs into a Qur’an Perspective Using Maslow and Herzberg's Motivation Theory
Abstract
Although the formation of science may be investigated from the theological dimension, the sufficiency of human requirements in the study of the Qur’an is not only studied from the perspectives of Sufism, norms, systems, social practices, and knowledge. The essence of sufficiency in the study of the Qur’an for Muslims and others analyzes not only the material dimension but also the social and theological dimensions. This viewpoint at the very least provides insight into the range of the meaning of sufficiency in human existence, which gives rise to scientific results in a variety of forms and styles. Sufficiency in meeting needs is an eloquence that originates from the terms kafa, hasbi, and qona’a. The three words etymologically both mean enough. But in terms of terminology, adequacy in question is a feeling that the needs have been filled. The concept of adequacy in fulfilling needs which have the consequence of becoming a theological concept is constructed through the interpretation of the words kafa, hasbi, and qonaa, and is combined with the hadith about the adequacy and also the knowledge of Sufism that he has studied such as tawakkal and tafwidh, to obtain a solid construction. So this appears appropriate to be applied during Hedonic society in the current era. The sufficiency given by Allah to humans can be analyzed into several types, namely grace, istidroj, and sustenance that is promised to each of His creatures. In our modern-day, when the motive for pursuing necessities is carried out in a hedonic, pragmatic pattern and is backed by Maslow and Herzberg’s theory, Muslims’ notions of adequacy and the nature of feeling adequate are certainly extremely important and required. The notion of adequacy in Islam, which is derived from al-interpretation, Azhar’s namely the ideas of tawakkal and tafwidh, gives a new version to Maslow's theory, namely “Spiritual Self Actualization of Needs Motivation”, and Herzberg’s theory, namely “Spiritual Value of Herzberg Motivation”.
