Abstract

The Principle of Al-Wahid serves as a foundational concept in Islamic philosophy, asserting the oneness of reality and that all existence originates from a single, unified source. Diversity does not stem from multiple origins but rather from the varying degrees of distance that levels of existence have from the Absolute Source of Being. This absoluteness negates the possibility of plurality within the Primary Cause itself. The principle has been a subject of discourse since the early history of Islamic philosophy, although some philosophers trace its roots back to Greek philosophy. This study employs a library research methodology with a Burhani (rational-analytical) approach. The findings of this research demonstrate that existence is fundamentally one; plurality arises not from multiple causes, but from the weakness of the effects, which leads to various limitations and, consequently, plurality. The study confirms that the principle of Al-Wahid is rational, supported by strong arguments, and serves as evidence for the most fundamental Islamic principle, al-Tawhid.

Abstract

This article examines the role of the Shādhilīyyah Shiddqiyyah Sufi Order in the commemoration of the birth of Imam Ḥussain in Cairo, as an expression of Sufism and love for the Ahl al-Bayt within the Sunni Islamic tradition. Using a qualitative approach, this study employs library research and phenomenological hermeneutics to interpret spiritual practices, ritual symbolism, and the Sufi community's response to modern challenges. The findings reveal that the Shādhilīyyah Shiddqiyyah plays a central role in preserving the Maulid tradition through hadrah, awrād, and spiritually rich qasīdah recitations. Beyond the religious dimension, the celebration integrates socio-economic aspects such as seasonal markets (sūq al-mawlid) and mass food offerings (nazr) that enhance community solidarity. Despite criticism from reformist groups, the order demonstrates adaptive capacity by utilizing digital platforms and institutional engagement with religious authorities such as Al-Azhar. The article concludes that Sufi orders are not merely spiritual entities but also dynamic social actors in the landscape of contemporary Islam.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the various onto-epistemological implications arising from Chalmers' property dualism within the framework of Neosadrian onto-epistemological substantialist dualism concerning consciousness. The methodology employed entails an onto-epistemological philosophical analysis, encompassing ontology and epistemology as the two branches of philosophy addressing the nature of reality and knowledge related to it. This onto-epistemological approach draws insights from various Neosadrian Islamic philosophical thinkers, including Taqi Misbah Yazdi, Muthahhari, Jawadi Amuli, and Thabataba’i. Consequently, the research inquiries encompass: firstly, elucidating how David J. Chalmers’ argument on property dualism addresses the conundrum of consciousness; and secondly, exploring how Neosadrian onto-epistemology scrutinizes the concepts and ramifications of Chalmers’ property dualism in relation to consciousness. The investigation demonstrates that Chalmers’ argumentation in response to the hard problem of consciousness refers to the principle of pan-physicalism, positing consciousness as the foundation of reality’s structure present in all entities. Moreover, consciousness, though distinct from matter, emerges from intricate material processes. Additionally, the unidirectional duality interaction (epiphenomenal) resulting from pan-physicalism, according to Chalmers, offers the most cogent explanation for bridging the onto-epistemological gap inherent in the hard problem of consciousness. From the Neosadrian perspective, Chalmers’ viewpoint carries implications: firstly, Chalmers’ pan-physicalism implies the absence of an ontological relationship between consciousness and matter, thereby perpetuating their entrapment in the ontological gap, which constitutes the central issue of the hard problem of consciousness. Secondly, as consciousness engenders something external to itself, it contradicts the principle of al-Wāḥid lā yaṣduru ‘anhu illā al-wāḥid in the Neosadrian perspective and elevates the position of structured reality (murakkab) over simple reality (basīṭ).

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the perspective of Spiritual Atheism. Philosophically, Spiritual Atheism is grounded in the epistemological framework of empiricism-saintism and the ontological framework of materialism. Its view on spirituality is based on the theory of mind-brain identity and atheistic mystical experiences. The thought framework and arguments of Spiritual Atheism are assessed to contain demarcation problems, contradictions, and limitations of knowledge. Using qualitative methods, literature research, and internal coherence analysis, this study concludes several points. Firstly, the onto-epistemological framework of Spiritual Atheism contains contradictions with its own principles by limiting the entirety of reality and sources of knowledge. Secondly, the theory of mind-brain identity is inadequate because it overlooks the reality of the plurality of consciousness effects that distinguish the soul and body. Lastly, spirituality without God or atheistic mystical experiences in Spiritual Atheism is rejected based on the principle of ittihād al-`āqil wa ma`qūl, which implies the necessity of every soul being connected to God as the efficient cause for all souls in the view of the reality of existence according to Mulla Sadra. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan analisis atas pandangan Spiritual Atheism. Secara filosofis, Spiritual Atheism bertumpu pada kerangka epistemologi empirisme-saintisme dan ontologi materialisme. Lalu, pandangannya mengenai spiritualitas bertumpu pada teori identitas pikiran-otak dan pengalaman mistik ateistik. Kerangka pemikiran dan argumentasi Spiritual Atheism dinilai mengandung problem demarkasi, mengandung kontradiksi, dan limitasi pengetahuan. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif dan riset pustaka serta analisis koherensi intern, penelitian ini menyimpulkan beberapa poin. Pertama, kerangka onto-epistemologi Spiritual Atheism mengandung kontradiksi dengan prinsipnya sendiri karena melimitasi keseluruhan realitas dan sumber pengetahuan. Kedua, teori identitas pikiran-otak tidak memadai karena mengabaikan kenyataan pluralitas efek kesadaran yang membedakan jiwa dan raga. Terakhir, spiritualitas tanpa Tuhan atau pengalaman mistik ateistik dalam Spiritual Atheism tertolak atas dasar prinsip ittihād al-`āqil wa ma`qūl yang berimplikasi pada keniscayaan setiap jiwa berhubungan dengan Tuhan sebagai kuasa sebab efisien bagi seluruh jiwa dalam pandangan realitas wujud Mulla Sadra.
