Abstract

Surah Al-Ikhlas, as one of the chapters in the Quran, consists of four concise yet profoundly meaningful verses. This particular surah delves into the attributes of Allah and holds a central focus in the epistemology of Sufi interpretation, especially in the practice of tariqah by Sufi practitioners. This research aims to unveil the messages contained within Surah Al-Ikhlas through the epistemological study of Sufi interpretation by Sahl al-Tustari. The surah is not merely regarded as a sacred text but also as a guide to understanding spirituality and shaping an excellent personal character, particularly in the context of Sufism. While various approaches to Surah Al-Ikhlas have been explored in previous research, there is a gap in exploring the epistemology of Sufi interpretation by Sahl al-Tustari. By comprehending his views and interpretations of Surah Al-Ikhlas, it is anticipated that a profound understanding of the spiritual dimension and personal experience in comprehending the essence of the Quranic text can be achieved. The research methodology involves analyzing the works of Sahl al-Tustari, focusing on the maudhu’i method and Sufi approach. The findings of this research are expected to contribute to a general understanding of the epistemology of Sufi interpretation, particularly in the context of Surah Al-Ikhlas, and uncover the spiritual values within the Quranic text.

Abstract

The growing materialism among today's youth often leads to a misunderstanding of success, which is measured only in material terms. This is a challenge in creating a balanced mindset between worldly and ukhrawi life. This study aims to analyze the relevance of the concept of isti'anah according to the interpretation of Bil Imla' by KH Zaini Mun'im in overcoming the temptation of materialism in adolescents. The approach used in this study is a literature review with interpretation analysis and a review of related literature. The results of the study show that the concept of isti'anah teaches Muslims, especially teenagers, to ask for help only from Allah SWT, which can be a solution to avoid the temptation of materialism. This concept also emphasizes the importance of a balance between temporal and spiritual pursuits, by always linking God's help through patience, prayer, and spiritual awareness. In conclusion, the interpretation of Bil Imla' can be an effective guideline to help adolescents form a more balanced mindset, avoid excessive materialism, and increase closeness to Allah in achieving true success.
