Abstract

Ibn Arabi is regarded as a pioneer of wahdat al-wujud concept seeing that all creatures unite with the essence of God. Ibn Arabi frequently depicts his concepts and thoughts on Sufism through poetries that contain nature symbols. It raises questions in this study: what symbols are in Ibn Arabi’s poetries? What do these symbols mean? Is there a correlation between nature symbols in his poetries with his concept of wahdat al-wujud? To answer those three questions, the author uses qualitative methodology by using a number of both primary and secondary resources for library research. To analyze the symbols, Arabic rhetoric science-based approach is used, especially bayan. The study finds that certain symbols have been used by Ibn Arabi as such sun, moon, star, earth and sky. Ibn Arabi uses the symbols of sun to represent God as the main source of universe, of moon to represent God’s tajalli in His creatures, of sky for the highest attribute of God, of earth for human’s contemptible nature, and of stars bridging the sky and earth representing spirit blown by God onto human. Hence, nature symbols themselves disprove the concept of wahdat al-wujud that has been proposed by scholars so far.Copyright (c) 2017 by KARSA. All right reserved DOI: 10.19105/karsa.v25i2.1304

Abstract

Hikayah Wahabiyyah was banned (2013) in Saudi Arabia because it was considered to undermine the honor of religion, institutions and state stability. Hikāyah Wahabiyyah describes the struggle of the ideology of a Wahabi who wants to escape from a total domination (herrschaft) that has eliminated the freedom and clarity of modern human thinking. This study aims to reveal the struggle of a Wahabi jihadist as reflected through internal elements of the Hikayah Wahabiyah. To uncover this ideological struggle, I use the ideological criticism approach to the intrinsic elements of the novel. Based on the analysis results are summarized, that (1) the word “jihadis” in this novel is interpreted as a kinayah which has two meanings, haqiqi and majazi (real and figurative). The meaning of haqīqi is those who strive in jihad through the path of war, while the meaning of the majazi is those who strive to maintain their ideological beliefs. (2) the intrinsic elements of literature built by the author in general illustrate the ideological struggle of a mutadayyin (follower of the Wahhabi ideology) who turns into a muntakis (someone who escapes from Wahabi ideology).
