An Existential-Islamic Dialogue: Reinterpreting Spirituality To Overcome Modern" Unhomeliness"

Does the modern soul have a home, or are we all just wandering through a digital desert? This paper orchestrates a profound dialogue between Heideggerian ontology and the revolutionary thought of Ali Shari'ati to address the contemporary crisis of "Unhomeliness" (Unheimlichkeit). It argues that modern technological life has evicted humanity from its spiritual dwelling, leaving us in a state of chronic alienation. By reinterpreting Shari'ati’s concept of Rausyanfikr (enlightened thinker) and the Islamic notion of Ghurba (strangeness) not as despairing exile but as a transformative path, the study offers a radical therapy. This synthesis integrates meditative practices (Denken) with the cultivation of an authentic, justice-oriented community (Ummah), proposing that 'home' is not a physical place, but a spiritual attunement found through the struggle for authentic existence.
