Abstract

The obligation to write scientific papers published in reputable international journals has become a source of pressure for most of the academic community in Indonesia, especially for those seeking promotions. This article aims to provide insight into how the concept of rahmatan lil alamin, one of the Islamic values, can be used as a basis for understanding and acceptance of these obligations, with or without government regulation. The rahmatan lil alamin derives from Quranic verse that means that God sent Muhammad (the Moslem prophet) as a mercy to all the worlds, the worlds of mankind. As Muhammad’s followers, Moslems must do good deeds for the benefit of all humans. The four values of mercy according to rahmatan lil alamin—rationality; intelligence; balance between heart, reason, and work; and comprehensive values—may also be applied to academic publication. Rather than the “publish or perish” model, applying this Islamic principle conceptualizes publishing as one of the highest forms of self-actualization in the academic world.
