An Islamic-Critical Approach to the Solution to Encounter Anomie according to Durkheim

Emile Durkheim thinks that anomie is a product of sudden change which simultaneous with great prosperities of the industrial period or a rooted and traditional depression of norms has made the cultural values of the society like puppets of the young modernization. He thinks human is an insatiable being who has lived a life of grudge and seeks for what he does not have and unusual growth of anomie destroys the collective conscience and individual, class, and group consciences will grow. And this means exactly weakened social supervisions and increased crimes. Durkheim thinks that the only way to control man’s grudge nature should be sought for in the invisible hands of the society and social supervisions. A society in which order governs on the basis of strengthening its social supervisions, the song of the angel of justice will be sung in man’s life. On the other hand, propositions and doctrines of the religion of Islam (under the motto of “Surely I know that which ye know not” and while describing man’s Divine innate nature), reject the idea of “the first sin”; and while emphasizing the positive impact of social supervisions to fight against crimes and phenomena such as anomie, they focus on internal supervisions.
