Abstract

This study aims to develop a religiosity scale called tadayyun, based on an Islamic approach rooted in the Qur'an, hadith, and the opinions of scholars. The research sample consisted of 269 participants residing throughout Indonesia, ranging in age from 18 to 40 years old. Data were collected using the tadayyun scale, which comprised 27 items derived from literature studies. The reliability test results, measured using Cronbach's Alpha, yielded a value of 0.839, indicating good internal consistency. All items demonstrated satisfactory discrimination abilities (p>0.138). Validation was conducted through Exploratory Factor Analysis, identifying three factors. Three items did not meet the criteria for a loading factor above 0.03, resulting in a valid item count of 24. This is due to the existence of intersections at the conceptual level regarding every aspect of tadayyun. The result shows the existence of a strong relationship between faith, worship and morals in measuring a Muslim's religiousness.

Abstract

Mental health problems are still prominent topics among countries in the last few decades, and Indonesia is no exception. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a healthy mental state entails individuals realizing and maximizing their potentials, effectively managing life's pressures, excelling in their studies and work, and making meaningful contributions to society. Promotion of the importance of mental health and its treatment has been abundant, but psychotherapy with a religious approach has not received much attention. This study reviews the thoughts of Abu Zayd Al-Balkhi as a pioneer in cognitive therapy, positive psychology, and its relation to the development of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which was first developed by Aaron T. Beck and further developed in the era of modern psychology. There are several similarities in Al-Balkhi's thoughts and the concept of CBT, including views on depression, its symptoms and treatment, as well as the importance of cultivating positive and rational thoughts in treating patients with psychological disorders. The difference between the two lies in the perspective of religiosity instilled by Al-Balkhi, that faith is important in observing worldly problems, and the awareness that true happiness lies in the hereafter. In addition, CBT has undergone significant development both in terms of the disciplinary aspects of psychology and its application in people's lives. The results of this qualitative study are expected to provide an alternative psychotherapy in dealing with mental health problems for Muslim communities.

Abstract

A lot of research has been conducted on the relationship between music and mysticism. However, most of the research focuses on the music and practices of Islamic mysticism in Turkey, South Asia, and Persia. There is some research on music in Indonesia, but the focus is more on youth preferences towards the genre of hadrah. This research aims to discuss aspects of spirituality, such as meaning, transcendence, to values in sufistic music in Indonesia. Using qualitative research methods with descriptive approaches, this study found that some of the Indonesian musical genres, ranging from nasyid, gambus, pop, and dangdut, have spiritual dimensions even though the music is not purely Islamic. The spiritual dimensions of such music vary, including meaning, values, transcendence, connectivity, and becoming, a manifestation of life that requires reflection and experience. These five spiritual dimensions are sometimes clearly written in lyrics, but sometimes obscurely contained in them. This research has theoretical implications that Sufistic music does not necessarily form music of the Islamic genre or music created by the Sufists; Sufistic music can be any genre of music to the extent it is judged to contain values or dimensions of the spirituality of Islamic Tasawuf itself.

Abstract

This research explores the holistic dimension of Sufi psychology in comparison with mainstream psychology through a qualitative method based on descriptive analysis. The study maps the paradigm shift in mainstream (Western) psychology, from the humanistic approach focused on self-actualization, to the integrative approach offered by Sufi psychology combining holistic spiritual and psychological dimensions. Although mainstream (Western) psychology, as pioneered by Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow, approaches the concept of psychological well-being with a comprehensive perspective, it is often trapped in reductionism that neglects the spiritual dimension. In contrast, Sufi psychology emphasizes four main elements—qalb (heart), ‘aql (intellect), ruh (spirit), and nafs (soul)—along with the concept of tazkiyah al-nafs (purification of the soul) as the primary strategy for achieving psychological and spiritual balance. This deeper and more comprehensive approach integrates divine values such as faith and tawhid in the process of healing and self-development, an approach that not only considers mental well-being but also spiritual well-being. In this context, Sufi psychology offers a solution to the spiritual and psychological crises of modern society by addressing the search for meaning in life and selftranscendence. Unlike Western psychological therapy, which is more focused on managing emotions and individual trauma, Sufi psychology emphasizes the importance of soul purification as a path to inner harmony and more holistic balance. The results of this study affirm the relevance of an integrative approach to meet the overall spiritual and psychological needs of humans, surpassing the limitations of materialism in Western mainstream psychology.

Abstract

Background Ibnu Miskawayh's approach emphasizes the importance of noble character through the methods of role modeling, habituation, and advice, while Albert Bandura's social learning theory offers insights into children's behavioral learning. Purpose This study aims to examine the analysis of the integration of Ibn Miskawayh's character education and Albert Bandura's social cognitive learning theory in shaping children's character. Design/method/approach This research employs a qualitative method with a literature study approach, analyzing literature related to character education from the perspectives of Islam and psychology. Results The findings indicate that integrating these two approaches can create a holistic character education model encompassing moral, spiritual, and psychological aspects. The implementation of this approach is expected to strengthen children's character development comprehensively, making it relevant to the moral and ethical challenges in the era of globalization and technology. Contribution/value The study's findings contribute significantly to the development of a more effective character education curriculum and can serve as a reference for educators and policymakers in designing character education programs in schools.

Abstract

This article examines the process of Islamization and the formation of Muslim ethnography in Indonesia and Malaysia through library research using thematic and comparative analysis. The study reveals that the maritime and cosmopolitan character of the archipelago gave rise to diverse theories of Islamic origins that ultimately strengthened cultural integration. The process of syncretism manifests at multiple levels, from ritual practices such as kenduri and maulid traditions to epistemological developments through the creation of hybrid writing systems like Jawi and Pegon scripts. Islamic educational institutions, particularly pesantren and pondok, serve as vehicles of institutional syncretism that adapt local structures while preserving core Islamic teachings, with ulama acting as cultural brokers bridging universal Islamic traditions and local realities. Sufi networks, especially the Naqsyabandiyyah Khalidiyyah Order, formed spiritual diasporas transcending modern geopolitical boundaries. In the modern era, this common cultural sphere persists through contemporary Islamic movements and intellectual exchanges. The study concludes that Indonesian-Malaysian Muslim ethnography represents a creative synthesis that maintains cultural cohesiveness despite differentiation due to colonial influences and respective socio-political contexts.

Abstract

The barodak tradition practiced by the Tau Samawa community in Sumbawa, West Nusa Tenggara, is a ritual performed before a wedding procession or circumcision, involving the stretching of the bride-to-be’s body using a traditional herb called odak. Although it appears as a physical ceremony, barodak carries deep symbolic and spiritual dimensions, and in local belief, neglecting the ritual may lead to physical or metaphysical disturbances. The problem addressed in this study is the tension perceived between the preservation of local cultural rituals and the internalization of Islamic values within contemporary Samawa society. The purpose of this research is to analyze how the Sumbawa community negotiates the relationship between customary practices and Islamic teachings. Using an ethnographic qualitative method, this study employs direct observation, in-depth interviews, and indigenous documentation to explore culture–religion interaction in the barodak ritual. The findings reveal that the community does not reject Islam; instead, they integrate religious principles into customary practices in a harmonious and adaptive manner. The barodak tradition reflects the community’s capacity to maintain cultural continuity while upholding spiritual norms. The contribution of this research lies in offering a contextual understanding of how local rituals function as a medium for expressing collective cultural and religious identity. It highlights the importance of safeguarding local traditions such as barodak as part of cultural preservation efforts that remain aligned with spiritual and communal values.
