Kecerdasan spiritual merupakan satu terminologi yang mula diperkenalkan oleh sarjana Barat dan kemudiannya menarik perhatian ramai sarjana Islam untuk menilai kesesuaiannya dengan kerangka pemikiran Islam. Justeru, artikel ini bertujuan mengupas dan membandingkan konsep kecerdasan spiritual dari perspektif Islam dan Barat secara kritis. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan analisis kandungan terhadap artikel terpilih yang membincangkan tentang konsep kecerdasan spiritual. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa walaupun terdapat elemen-elemen sejajar antara kedua-dua pandangan, konsep kecerdasan spiritual menurut Islam mempunyai asas yang lebih kukuh dan menyeluruh dari segi kerohanian bersumberkan ilmu wahyu dan ia berdiri di atas prinsip aqidah tauhid yang benar. Kajian ini mencadangkan pembangunan kerangka konseptual kecerdasan spiritual berteraskan Islam sebagai asas dalam penyusunan Modul Ilmu Kecerdasan Spiritual untuk para pendakwah. Pemahaman yang mendalam terhadap konsep ini amat penting dalam membangunkan kandungan modul yang berkesan, relevan, dan selaras dengan keperluan dakwah semasa di Malaysia.
The notion of spiritual intelligence was first introduced by Western scholars and has since garnered significant attention among Muslim scholars, who sought to assess its relevance within the framework of Islamic thought. This article critically examines and compares the concept of spiritual intelligence from both Islamic and Western perspectives. Adopting a content analysis approach, the study reviews selected scholarly works that discuss the construct of spiritual intelligence. The findings indicate that while there are certain converging elements between the two perspectives, the Islamic understanding of spiritual intelligence provides a more solid and holistic foundation of spirituality. This foundation is derived from revealed knowledge and firmly rooted in the principle of tawhid. The study further proposes the development of a conceptual framework for spiritual intelligence grounded in Islamic teachings as a basis for designing a Spiritual Intelligence Module for preachers. A comprehensive understanding of this concept is deemed essential to ensure the formulation of effective, relevant, and contextually appropriate module content that addresses the contemporary needs of da‘wah in Malaysia.
