Abstract

AbstractThis study discusses faith in Islamic psychotherapy. This study departs from the fact of moral degradation that occurs in many parts of the world caused by psyche illness. Moral degradation causes the erosion of faith, especially for Muslims. For this reason, an effort is needed as faith can be maintained and the soul remains healthy. The cause of treating mental illness is more difficult than treating physical pain. In this context, a well-known Turkish scholar, Badiuzzaman Said Nursi, has an interesting concept to address the problem of moral degradation. Nursi said the best solution to overcome mental illness is to improve one's faith as if the faith is correct then the behaviour will be right, and vice versa. Islam is not only limited to intellectual contemplation, but also as a direct answer from the various discussions that he experienced personally as well as a response to the problem being discussed by the Turkish community compilation. This research is a qualitative study (literature) of Nursi's work, Risale-i Nur. His ideas about psychotherapy are distributed in the book. His views on Islamic psychotherapy produce a deep understanding of the concept of faith and its influence in life. The authors hope this study can make scientific contributions and be able to provide solutions to the problems that are currently being approved.Keywords: Badiuzzaman Said Nursi, Risale-i Nur, Psychotherapy, Faith, Islam.AbstrakArtikel ini membahas tentang iman dalam psikoterapi Islam. Penelitian ini berangkat ‎dari fakta degradasi moral yang banyak terjadi di berbagai belahan dunia yang ‎disebabkan oleh penyakit hati. Khususnya bagi umat Islam, degradasi moral ‎menyebabkan terkikisnya iman. Untuk itu diperlukan sebuah upaya agar iman terjaga ‎dan jiwa tetap sehat. Sebab mengobati sakit jiwa lebih sulit dari mengobati sakit fisik. ‎Dalam konteks ini, seorang ulama kenamaan Turki, Badiuzzaman Said Nursi, memiliki ‎konsep yang menarik untuk menjawab problem degradasi moral. Nursi mengatakan ‎solusi terbaik dalam mengatasi penyakit jiwa adalah dengan memperbaiki keimanan ‎seseorang. Sebab jika keimanan sudah benar maka perilakunya pun akan benar, ‎demikian sebaliknya. Penting dicatat bahwa gagasannya mengenai psikoterapi Islam tidak hanya sebatas renungan intelektual semata, malainkan juga sebagai jawaban langsung dari berbagai persoalan yang dialaminya secara pribadi juga sebagai respon dari problem yang sedang dihadapi masyarakat Turki ketika itu. Penelitian ini merupakan salah satu kajian kualitatif (literatur) ‎terhadap karya Nursi, Risale-i Nur. Gagasannya mengenai psikoterapi tersebar dalam ‎buku tersebut.

Abstract

University-based Pesantren has a distinctive curriculum that develops and integrates the Pesantren system with its academic-university system. This means that the assessment at pesantren universities does not only apply to the academic side but also the boarding (kepesantrenan) side. If the academic side is assessed through the Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA)/Indeks Prestasi Kumulatif (IPK), what about the value of boarding school? We explore the Student Activity Assessment Credit Score (Angka Kredit Penilaian Aktifitas Mahasiswa (AKPAM)) system at Darussalam Gontor University. We designed the qualitative study using a grounded theory approach. We found that AKPAM can counted as a system designed to calculate the kepesantrenan scores of UNIDA students; which is one of the process systems in Integrative Human Resource Development (HRD) typical of UNIDA Gontor; as a pesantren-based university. Second, the AKPAM system is proven to be directly proportional to the HRD theory proposed by Richard Swanson. Third, pesantren-based universities have proven to be competitive in terms of education management in this era. We highlight that this study expands the novel HR management pattern in pesantren universities; as indigenous education.

Abstract

This article explores the philosophical and spiritual perspectives of Abu Hamid al-Ghazali, focusing on his views on the nature of humanity, the spiritual and material aspects of existence, and the pursuit of happiness Al-Ghazali's philosophy is deeply rooted in Islamic thought and draws upon the Quranic and Prophetic teachings.  Al-Ghazali posits that humans are composed of both a physical, ephemeral dimension (the material aspect) and an intellectual-transcendental dimension (the spiritual aspect). The article delves into al-Ghazali's classification of existence into two realms: the realm of decrees ('ālam al-amr) and the realm of creation ('ālam al-khalq). Human beings, according to al-Ghazali, embody both of these realms, with their physicality falling under the realm of creation and their spirituality under the realm of decree. Al-Ghazali introduces various terms to describe the spiritual entity within humans, such as al-‘aql (intellect), al-nafs (soul), al-qalb (heart), and al-rūh (spirit). He argues that while the body is material and earthly, the spirit is divine in origin and immortal.  The soul, as God's creation, reflects this governance by ruling over the body without being located in any specific physical part. It emphasizes that the spirit belongs to the realm of Divine decrees, making it distinct from material entities.  Al-Ghazali identifies different qualities within the human spirit, ranging from animalistic to angelic. He argues that the angelic quality, associated with the worship of God and the pursuit of Divine Beauty, represents the true essence of humanity. To attain happiness, individuals must purify themselves from worldly desires and base instincts.  The article underscores the importance of knowledge in al-Ghazali's philosophy, with knowledge being derived from God and serving as the criterion that separates humans from other creations. Knowledge enables individuals to understand their purpose, responsibilities, and the path to happiness.  The article explores al-Ghazali's perspective on happiness, highlighting his belief that it is primarily a spiritual and intellectual state. It emphasizes the significance of attaining knowledge of God for true happiness, as well as the importance of spiritual discipline and self-purification.

Abstract

As understood, postmodernism is a worldview that borrows its nomenclature from the era after modernism. It became a progressive thought with ideas notable for denouncing absolute truth. This article aims to explain what postmodernism is and how religion is understood by its people, mainly by referring to the thoughts of postmodern philosophers who played an important role in undermining religious traditions through the devaluation of religious values, namely Nietzsche (1884-1900), Wittgenstein (1889-1951) and Heidegger (1889-1976). In the discussion, it is found that postmodernism has a distinctive conception of God and religion. It dissolves the highest values, which is God, to which all other value may refer to as their foundations. Since human reason cannot conceive the nature of God, postmodern intellect disestablishes the metaphysical way of thinking. Thus, the postmodernists get it religion in so diverse way that conflicting to the predominant conviction of theologians.

Abstract

This research conducts an in-depth analysis of Ziauddin Sardar's views on the concept of Islamization of science promoted by Ismail Raji al-Faruqi. By exploring the works of the two figures, this research reveals in detail Sardar's criticisms of the epistemological, paradigmatic and methodological foundations underlying the Islamization of science. The analysis shows that Sardar has fundamental concerns about the potential of the Islamization of science to limit the diversity of knowledge, shift established scientific paradigms, and sacrifice the rigor of research methodology. According to Sardar, attempts to impose Islamic views into all aspects of science risk stifling the development of science as a whole. This study also presents a more thoughtful interpretation. The author argues that the Islamization of science should not be understood as a way to completely overhaul established scientific paradigms and methods. Instead, the Islamization of science can be an opportunity to expand our understanding of natural phenomena by integrating Islamic perspectives. With descriptive analysis, this study concludes that the Islamization of science can be a bridge to a more comprehensive synthesis of knowledge, provided it is done wisely and avoids oversimplification. In responding to the concept of Islamization of science, Sardar offers constructive criticism. He reminds us to maintain harmony between religious values and academic autonomy in advancing science. While critical of certain aspects, Sardar does not entirely dismiss the concept. He advocates for a more inclusive and open dialogue among Muslim scientists and Islamic scholars to collaboratively develop a model of Islamization that is both relevant to contemporary challenges and compatible with the principles of scientific inquiry.

Abstract

This study investigates the semantic implications of the term basyar as it pertains to the concept of humanity in the Qur’anic discourse. The research arises from the observation that the Qur’an employs a range of lexical choices to denote human beings, including nās, al-insān, basyar, banī ādam, al-insu, and al-marʾu, each carrying distinct contextual and conceptual connotations. The diversity of these terms reflects the Qur’an’s nuanced portrayal of human nature across different dimensions and circumstances. Focusing specifically on basyar, this study aims to delineate the unique aspects embedded within this term and how it informs the Islamic understanding of human identity. Methodologically, this is a qualitative literature-based study employing documentary analysis of primary sources such as the Qur’an and classical tafsīr works, including Tafsīr al-Qur’ān al-‘Aẓīm by Ibn Kathīr, Tafsīr al-Marāghī by Ahmad bin Musthafa al-Marāghī, Mafātīḥ al-Ghayb by Fakhruddīn al-Rāzī, and Rūḥ al-Maʿānī by Shihābuddīn al-Ālūsī, among others. The findings suggest that while the concept of basyar aligns closely with the general notion of humanity, it conveys an elevated understanding marked by specific virtues. The study identifies five defining characteristics of human beings within the basyar framework: (1) prophethood as a human function, (2) creation from earthly elements, (3) the cognitive and existential dimension of basyariah, (4) the social interaction between genders, and (5) the inevitability of death as part of divine ordinance.
