Abstract

Islam taught through indoctrination and dogmatism without developing and involving the potentials of intellectual nature has given birth to many problems in life. Islam as a belief system that is the foundation has turned into a rigid and irrational belief and has given birth to exclusive, even disruptive, behavior. Some so many people understand the teachings of Islam, but it does not at all reflect Islamic or moral behavior. This study uses a qualitative and complementary approach, which explores several theories from psychology and Sufism morality to analyze human behavior as a whole. This literature study research method will explore an in-depth problem analysis and produce descriptive-comprehensive conclusions. Imam Al-Ghozali became the primary theoretical basis regarding the relationship between the nature of the human soul and the intellectualization process in giving birth to moral behavior. Then, the beautiful face of Islam will appear through the intellectualization process with the paradigm of the pyramid of Sufism, which harmonizes the dimensions of Faith, Islam, and Ihsan in a perfect and balanced manner (i'tidal).

Abstract

This article examines the process of Islamization and the formation of Muslim ethnography in Indonesia and Malaysia through library research using thematic and comparative analysis. The study reveals that the maritime and cosmopolitan character of the archipelago gave rise to diverse theories of Islamic origins that ultimately strengthened cultural integration. The process of syncretism manifests at multiple levels, from ritual practices such as kenduri and maulid traditions to epistemological developments through the creation of hybrid writing systems like Jawi and Pegon scripts. Islamic educational institutions, particularly pesantren and pondok, serve as vehicles of institutional syncretism that adapt local structures while preserving core Islamic teachings, with ulama acting as cultural brokers bridging universal Islamic traditions and local realities. Sufi networks, especially the Naqsyabandiyyah Khalidiyyah Order, formed spiritual diasporas transcending modern geopolitical boundaries. In the modern era, this common cultural sphere persists through contemporary Islamic movements and intellectual exchanges. The study concludes that Indonesian-Malaysian Muslim ethnography represents a creative synthesis that maintains cultural cohesiveness despite differentiation due to colonial influences and respective socio-political contexts.

Abstract

A lot of research has been conducted on the relationship between music and mysticism. However, most of the research focuses on the music and practices of Islamic mysticism in Turkey, South Asia, and Persia. There is some research on music in Indonesia, but the focus is more on youth preferences towards the genre of hadrah. This research aims to discuss aspects of spirituality, such as meaning, transcendence, to values in sufistic music in Indonesia. Using qualitative research methods with descriptive approaches, this study found that some of the Indonesian musical genres, ranging from nasyid, gambus, pop, and dangdut, have spiritual dimensions even though the music is not purely Islamic. The spiritual dimensions of such music vary, including meaning, values, transcendence, connectivity, and becoming, a manifestation of life that requires reflection and experience. These five spiritual dimensions are sometimes clearly written in lyrics, but sometimes obscurely contained in them. This research has theoretical implications that Sufistic music does not necessarily form music of the Islamic genre or music created by the Sufists; Sufistic music can be any genre of music to the extent it is judged to contain values or dimensions of the spirituality of Islamic Tasawuf itself.
