Abstract

The concept of divine reward in the Sunni Sufi tradition intersects with issues of sincerity (ikhlash), the nature of deeds, and divine grace. Imam al-Nawawi (631-676 AH), as a central figure in Shafi'i-Ash'ari scholarship, holds a distinctive view on the relationship between sincerity, deeds, and divine reward. Previous studies have focused on reward within Mutazilah-Ashariyyah theological discourse and in interdisciplinary hadith approaches as offered by Azhary et al. in Nabawi Journal (2024), leaving the Sufi dimension of al-Nawawi's thought underexplored. This study asks: (1) how does al-Nawawi conceptualize divine reward from a Sunni Sufi perspective; (2) how do sincerity, deeds, and divine grace interrelate in his thought. A library research method with descriptive-analytical and comparative approaches is employed. Results indicate that al-Nawawi views sincerity as the primary condition for the acceptance of deeds, while divine reward remains entirely a grace that cannot be demanded. This affirms the unity of shari'ah, Sufism, and Ash'ari theology in al-Nawawi's thought.

Abstract

This study explores the fiqh-based interpretation of the well-known hadith concerning the division of the Muslim ummah into 73 sects, in which only one is deemed "saved." Rather than viewing this hadith as a justification for sectarianism and exclusion, this research approaches it through the lens of classical and contemporary Islamic jurisprudence to emphasize tolerance, unity, and the ethical management of religious differences. The analysis draws from diverse sources within Sunni scholarship to understand the historical and theological context of the hadith and its misinterpretation by radical or exclusivist groups. This paper argues that the "saved group" (al-firqat al-nājiyah) should not be monopolized by any particular sect or school of thought, but rather should be understood as those committed to the core Islamic principles of tawhid, justice, and mercy. Furthermore, the study highlights the relevance of fiqh in addressing challenges of pluralism, political fragmentation, and intra-Muslim intolerance in modern societies. By promoting values such as ukhuwah Islamiyyah (Islamic brotherhood), tasamuh (tolerance), and ijma’ (scholarly consensus), this research suggests that Islamic law offers strong foundations for fostering cohesion in the Muslim world. The findings urge contemporary Muslims to embrace differences as a source of strength, not division, and to actively contribute to unity without erasing diversity.
