Abstract

Islam is a major world religion and is considered one of the Abrahamic, monotheistic faiths, focusing on monotheistic beliefs. The population of Muslims is estimated to be over one billion people and it is a heterogeneous rather than homogeneous community. Muslim communities are made of different races, ethnic groups’ nationalities, and cultures across the globe and united by their common Islamic faith. There has been an exponential growth of Muslim communities in most countries of the West and Southern hemispheres. This growth has resulted in an increased prevalence of psychosocial and mental health problems leading to a demand for psychotherapeutic and mental health services. The increased mental health problems among the Muslim communities have brought new challenges to therapists to provide a non-Eurocentric therapy approach based on the worldview of their Muslim clients. It is argued that mainstream psychology has lost its ‘soul’ and is largely devoid of the psycho-spiritual concerns of its clients. The therapeutic interventions of mainstream therapies, based upon a mono-cultural perspective, are failing to meet the holistic needs of Muslims. Based on the increasing recognition of the need to provide holistic therapy, a new paradigm shift is needed in the development of Islamic psychotherapy and counselling.

Abstract

The motivation for this study arises from the observation that many commentators still interpret verses illustrating heaven merely as parables, without sufficiently contextualizing them to social reality. Therefore, this study remains necessary, particularly by examining the interpretations of two Indonesian mufassir from different generations: Hamka (a preacher) and Muhammad Quraish Shihab (an academic). This study is library research employing a descriptive-analysis method. The conclusions of this study indicate that both Hamka and Shihab strive to contextualize the interpretation of verses depicting heaven, contextualizing them in sociocultural paradigms and making them relevant to contemporary contexts. However, Hamka and Shihab exhibit different traits and characteristics in their interpretive approaches and narrative constructs. These differences are primarily due to Hamka's active involvement in the world of preaching, whereas Shihab operates within an academic framework. The interpretations of the verses illustrating heaven by both Hamka and Shihab are notably applicable and contextual, making them relevant to the socio-cultural context. Thus, the narratives constructed by Hamka and Shihab render the abstract and metaphysical nuances of these verses more accessible and comprehensible to the public. As Recommendation; it is necessary to create an interpretative framework for metaphysical verses based on Nusantara identity so that it can be easily understood by the audience, especially the Indonesian people.
