Abstract

This study aims to explain further the cosmological argument of Hamzah Fansuri. This research is library research using a historical approach to obtain data and conduct content analysis. According to Hamzah Fansuri, every single thing in this world that either can or cannot be seen can be pictured as a circle or curvature, the two corners of which can meet each other. Half of the curvature is “the down way curvature” (tanazzul) that is the way of the creation of the universe and its content; the manifestation process from the Oneness or the Higher Existence (Who cannot be known physically) to become many existence or the reality that can be seen physically. The other curvature is “the up-way curvature” (taraqqī), which is a way of creation from physical to metaphysical existence. The entire levels or structure of being are summarized in the person and the human being’s existence as a perfect creature of physical and spiritual quality. Therefore, the universe can only be returned to the One through humans. The concept of cosmology in the Fansuri’s thought is to show the unity and interrelationship of all existence that leads to divine oneness.

Abstract

One of the many important matters that is referred in the Qur’ān is a matter of the universe. The verses of Qur’ān invite people to observe and reflect on the creation of the universe, because in it there are signs of God’s existence and power. Cosmology is the theory about the origin of the universe. In Islam, this theory is one of the essential issues that have deep theological concequences and implications to the tawhīd. In order to formulate the process of the universe creation, the perspective of the Muslims was sorting into two extreme groups: traditionalists and rationalists. In the Islamic philosophy, in terms of the creation, the cosmology of al-Fārābī and Ibn Sīnā was influenced by the emanation of Plotinus’ philosophy and in terms of the structure is based on the concept of a geocentric Ptolomeus. While al-Ghazālī’s cosmology (representative of the traditionalist) based on the principle of the absolute will of God which is absolute. This study wants to reveal about the cosmology in the Islamic philosophers perspective as one of the cosmological mainstream which is speculative and revives the school of Aristotle, but not contrary to the principles of al-Qur’ān.

Abstract

Mysticism or sufism is an activity that is focused on the esoteric aspect of Islam. It is totally different from the orientation of fiqh and sharī‘a which are more directed to the exoteric in Islam. Cosmology is the origin of the universe and the occurrence, and Ibn ‘Arabī is one of the sufi who discussed the issues of universe. In the works of Ibn ‘Arabī, the term of ‘ālam is translated by the Western researchers with cosmos. The cosmos or universe is defined as everything other than Allah (mā siwā Allah or al-Ḥaqq.) Ibn ‘Arabī’s cosmology essentially is called as prophetic cosmology (apostolic.) This knowledge is a form of knowledge that was transmitted from the Prophet Ādam to the Prophet Muḥammad, however, in grounding it, Ibn ‘Arabī limited it to the prophetic knowledge in the Qur’ān and Ḥadīth.
