Abstract

This study examines how embodied religious knowledge is generated in Javanese Sufism through the dynamic interplay of bodily practice, social articulation, and negotiated epistemic authority. Moving beyond interpretations that reduce Sufi Kejawen to a syncretic culture, it investigates how tirakat, selametan, rukun, and unggah-ungguh function as interconnected processes through which embodied religious knowledge is produced, socially articulated, and legitimized. Using a hermeneutic-ethnographic approach, the article was conducted within the Tarekat Qadiriyyah wa Naqshbandiyyah (TQN) community in Indonesia through three months of fieldwork involving 20 participants, in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The findings demonstrate that tirakat generates embodied religious knowledge through disciplined bodily practice, while communal rituals transform individual experience into socially recognized meanings that subsequently acquire legitimacy through ongoing negotiation with orthodox Islamic authority. The study proposes existential-practical hermeneutics as an analytical framework explaining how embodiment, social articulation, and negotiated legitimacy constitute an integrated process of epistemic authority formation in Javanese Sufism, thereby advancing scholarship on embodied religion, lived Islam, and contemporary Islamic authority.

Abstract

The leaders and observers disagree about sufism narated by Ibn ‘Arabî. Some parties considered him as a sufi who does not rely on the Koran, but others actually had put him always associated with the Koran. Although Ibn ‘Arabî considered not to rely on the Koran, he claimed that the knowledge gained is through the “opening” or “disclosure” (fath, kashf) with respect to the actual meaning of the Koran. Ibn ‘Arabî wrote, We are not quoting the words of the philosopher at all, nor the words of others. What we argue in this book and all our other books are what is given through Kashf and dictated by al-Haqq. Based on this claim, the authors try to lift the view of Ibn ‘Arabî on the Koran

Abstract

Deprivation of the living sphere always interconnects with the power, precisely through a scenario of territorial and capitalist interests. In practical terms, deprivation of living space has neglected social aspects, as well as confirmed the occurrence of crisis at the social-ecological level. The crisis can also be categorized as the turbulent relationship between humans and humans with nature. In the Qur’anic referentiality, deprivation of living space is a kind of denial of the mandate of God. The essence of spreading mercy to all, as like giving rights to those who reserve, not doing unjust, no activities that damage and hurt anyone, humans, animals, nature, and all creatures, has been eliminated by the dominance of the sectoral ego. As a result, a form of injustice manifests a series of violence and destruction. As an essential factor in life, it is urgent to return the living space to its position as a social function attached to the material element. In this context, the social capital framework can be a node that could bring the community back to the trusted living, that the living sphere is a common need. The social capital framework will, in turn, bring back the social aspects that are absent from the material elements.

Abstract

This article examines the interpretation model of Tarjumān al-Mustafīd as a means to address the need for Qur'anic interpretation for the general public. Using a qualitative method with content analysis and a systematic literature review, the study explores the approach used by Abd al-Raūf al-Fanṣūrī in his interpretation of the Qur'an. The results of the study indicate that al-Fanṣūrī's interpretation model includes three key elements: avoiding interpretations based solely on word meanings, providing context through asbāb al-nuzūl, narration isrāīlīyāt, historical accounts, and faidah letter explanations, and reconciling meanings to avoid controversial interpretations in both law and belief. The study concludes that Tarjumān al-Mustafīd is not a translation of classical interpretations, but rather a reproduction of al-Fanṣūrī's interpretation, referencing classical Arabic sources, and should not be referred to as a translation of Arabic interpretation into Malay. Overall, the interpretation model of Tarjumān al-Mustafīd provides a solution for addressing the need for Qur'anic interpretation for the general public and is a valuable contribution to the field of Qur'anic interpretation.
