Abstract

This article explores the evolving roles of Sufi orders in Asia-Pacific Islam, highlighting their intersections with political authority, religious legitimacy, and digital transformation. Historically, Sufi networks such as the Shattariyya and Qadiriyya–Naqshbandiyya were deeply embedded in the formation of Islamic governance and anti-colonial resistance. Far from being passive or otherworldly, they institutionalized religious authority and shaped Islamic identities across the region. In contemporary contexts, Sufi actors continue to exert influence through translocal networks—particularly the Hadrami diaspora—and by adapting to digital technologies. The rise of virtual zawiyas, social media preaching, and online devotional gatherings reveals a shift in spiritual authority toward more affective, decentralized, and borderless forms. This study argues that Sufism challenges conventional binaries between the spiritual and the political, the local and the global. By positioning themselves as defenders of “moderate Islam” in opposition to Salafi-Wahhabi critiques, many Sufi orders also become key partners in state-led religious governance. Through this lens, Sufism emerges not as a relic of the past, but as a living, networked force shaping the moral and political landscapes of contemporary Islam in the Asia-Pacific.

Abstract

Ibn 'Arabī, who is also referred to as Doctor Maximus (al-Shaykh al-Akbar) within the Sufi world, has been recognized for centuries as one of the awliyā' of God. Nevertheless, this status did not preclude numerous scholars from designating him as a mujtahid. The issue lies in the conception of a walī as an individual endowed with spiritual knowledge that enables them to comprehend matters without the necessity of learning or research. This prompts further inquiry into the question of whether Ibn 'Arabī, the walī, can be designated a mujtahid. This article employs a qualitative approach and a review of the extant literature to examine the claims of scholars who are based on Ibn 'Arabī's own thoughts. The culmination of the research indicated that, on the one hand, Ibn 'Arabī asserted that a walī cannot be designated as a mujtahid, as his autonomous determination is derived from the method of kashf. Therefore, it can be posited that the individual in question is not, in fact, Ibn 'Arabī. Nevertheless, historical evidence suggests that Ibn 'Arabī engaged in rigorous study of Islamic law and jurisprudence. This suggests the possibility that he may have utilized ijtihād in his independent decision-making, thereby classifying him as a mujtahid. However, prior to conducting a thorough investigation into the underlying factors that influenced Ibn 'Arabī's independent decisions, it would be premature to categorize him as a mujtahid

Abstract

Bahasa Indonesia adalah satu di antara bahasa di dunia yang memiliki kata-kata pinjaman dari Bahasa Inggris. Sejumlah penelitian terdahulu menunjukkan adanya prosentase kata pinjaman Bahasa Inggris yang cukup signifikan dalam tulisan-tulisan berbahasa Indonesia. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk menambah khazanah keilmuan tentang penggunaan kata pinjaman Bahasa Inggris dalam penulisan esai berbahasa Indonesia, dengan fokus pada tulisan yang dihasilkan oleh mahasiswa calon guru Bahasa Inggris di sebuah perguruan tinggi Islam. Kajian yang dilakukan dengan menggunakan penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan kata pinjaman Bahasa Inggris dalam penulisan esai Bahasa Indonesia oleh para mahasiswa tersebut cukup besar, yaitu 13.86 %. Temuan lainnya adalah bahwa topik-topik yang berhubungan dengan teknologi mendorong mahasiswa untuk lebih banyak menggunakan kata pinjaman Bahasa Inggris. Akhirnya, dalam penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa motif lingkungan dan pendidikan menempati urutan teratas, kemudian diikuti oleh motif kebahasaan dan motif prestise pribadi dalam penggunaan kata pinjaman Bahasa Inggris.

This type of research is library research using content analysis techniques. The research results first, the Tadzkirah model in this book is a character education model that is present from the derivatives of the theories of Islamic education. These theories are the acronyms of the word tadzkirah which has meaning: i.e. T: show example, A: direct; D: impulse; Z: zakiyah; K: continuity; I: remind; R: repetition; A (O): organize; and H: heart. Second, this Tadzkira model can indeed be used in the implementation of character education, but not all methods in this model are suitable for use by all groups of pupils or all levels of education. Therefore, it is important for educators to be able to understand the character of the students so that they can use appropriate methods. This must be done in the hope of achieving success in character education.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is not to close the dots through the imposition of a single understanding. The author simply wants to highlight significant points of ‘contestation’ in the way we understand or even blur the boundaries between the religious and the political. This research uses a qualitative method that is based on a literature study. We conclude that there are multiple and sometimes competing understandings of terms such as religion, secularism, secularisation and post-secular that shape and are shaped by discussions about the relationship between religion, politics and public life. For future researchers, we suggest exploring the correlation between religion, politics and the public sphere more specifically in order to create a paradigm that does not corner one another so that there is no overlap in understanding these three elements.

Abstract

This study examines the phenomenology of barzakh in the corpus of classical Sufism as a model of liminal postmortem experience and analyzes its implications for afterlife concepts in other religious traditions. The aim of this research is to explain how Sufi thinkers—particularly Ibn ‘Arabi, Suhrawardī, and al-Jīlī—understand barzakh not as a static space of waiting but as an imaginal realm with its own ontological structure, experienced through the imaginal consciousness of the human being. Employing a qualitative design grounded in narrative-phenomenological analysis, this study conducts an in-depth textual examination of Sufi works and interprets their imaginal narratives as manifestations of transformative consciousness. The findings reveal three main points. First, barzakh is conceived as an ontological imaginal reality in which the subtle body, liminal space, and postmortem forms manifest through al-khayāl al-muttaṣil as the medium of the soul’s experience. Second, barzakh functions as a moral mirror in which one’s deeds, intentions, and inner states become objectified into imaginal landscapes directly encountered by the soul, thereby dynamically shaping its postmortem existential environment. Third, the comparative analysis demonstrates structural parallels between the phenomenology of barzakh and intermediate-realm concepts in non-Islamic traditions—such as Bardo Thodol in Tibetan Buddhism and Olam Ha-Ba in Judaism—which similarly exhibit liminal experiential patterns involving transformations of consciousness, the subtle body, guidance by transcendent entities, and reflective imaginal spaces. This study contributes to the expansion of esoteric Sufi studies by employing a phenomenological approach that interprets barzakh as a structure of experience rather than merely a theological doctrine. Moreover, it offers a new hermeneutical framework for interreligious dialogue by highlighting shared patterns of transitional consciousness across afterlife traditions. The originality of this research lies in its integration of phenomenological analysis with comparative afterlife studies, demonstrating barzakh as a universal archetype of transformative human experience.
