Abstract

Humanity’s fundamental inquiry throughout history has been the question of existence, distilled into the question: “Who am I?” This fundamental question rooted in human consciousness is grounded in three parameters: being, time, and space, whereby time and space provide the ontological context for human existence. These existential concerns have shaped the Muslim world, including Turkiye. A comprehensive understanding of geopolitical dynamics necessitates a nation to reflect on its philosophical, historical, and spatial consciousness of self-perception. Without an appreciation of Islamic history—tracing from the time of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w to the present and even back to the time of Prophet Adam a.s—one cannot deeply understand and effectively apply geopolitics.

 

Sepanjang sejarah, pencarian hakiki manusia selalu berpusat pada persoalan kewujudan, yang terungkap dalam pertanyaan mendasar: “Siapakah aku?” Soalan ini, yang berakar dalam kesedaran manusia, berpaut pada tiga dimensi utama: wujud, masa, dan ruang—di mana masa dan ruang menjadi kerangka ontologi bagi kewujudan manusia. Persoalan kewujudan ini telah membentuk Dunia Islam, termasuk Turkiye. Untuk memahami dinamika geopolitik secara menyeluruh, sesebuah negara harus merenung kembali kesedaran falsafah, sejarah, dan ruang yang membentuk persepsi dirinya. Tanpa kefahaman mendalam dan penghayatan terhadap sejarah Islam—dari zaman Nabi Muhammad s.a.w hingga kini, bahkan hingga ke zaman Nabi Adam a.s—pemahaman geopolitik akan tetap cetek dan sukar diterapkan secara berkesan.
