Abstract

The global phenomenon of moral degradation underscores the urgency of moral education as the foundation for shaping Muslim personality. In this context, Ibnu Miskawaih’s thought on tazkiyat al-nafs and ethics in his classical work Tahdzib al-Akhlak is highly relevant for Islamic character education in the modern era. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach with content analysis, this study examines Tahdzib al-Akhlak as the primary source and compares it with contemporary literature. The results reveal four findings: first, Ibnu Miskawaih’s concept of soul balance nafs (desire), ‘aql (reason), and ghadab (anger) forms a systematic framework for cultivating virtues such as wisdom, courage, temperance, and justice. Second, this framework remains relevant in addressing extremism, hedonism, and moral decline, offering a middle path consistent with Quranic moderation and modern character education theories. Third, the concept has practical implications for curriculum and pedagogy, encouraging holistic education that integrates intellectual, emotional, and spiritual growth with teachers as role models. Fourth, Ibnu Miskawaih’s philosophy contributes to global moral discourse by providing a classical yet adaptable model for building ethical, inclusive, and sustainable societies. The novelty lies in reconstructing his thought as a practical educational model bridging classical Islamic wisdom with contemporary pedagogical needs.

Abstract

The theory of the arrival of Islam in Indonesia cannot be separated from the historical evidence discovered over the past century. New historical evidence can strengthen one theory and weaken another, but more importantly, how this scattered evidence can be connected within a coherent narrative framework. This article seeks to clarify the existing historical evidence within the oldest scope as part of authentic historical writing, with a particular focus on the relationship between three primary sources that have often been analyzed separately. The method used is a historical research method that includes heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography. The primary sources used in the form of a manuscript of Al-Masalik wa Al-Mamalik by Ibn Khurdadhbih, thetombstone of Abu Kamil from Phan Rang, southern Champa, and the tombstone of Fatimah binti Maimun from Leran, Gresik. The results of the study reveal the Islamic trade network contained in the oldest source and its relationship with the two primary sources in the form of tombstones, all of which show a similar pattern of trade routes connecting the Islamic world with China through the Nusantara. This network is the Malay-Javanese-Champa-Chinese trading network which has been operating since the IX century AD and has left archaeological evidence that can still be seen today.

Abstract

This research discusses the concept of Modern Sufism or Neo-Sufism through the perspective of Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, a great thinker from Turkey in the 20th century. Neo-Sufism is a modern development of traditional Sufism that seeks to answer the challenges of globalization, identity crisis, and materialism in the modern era. Nursi through his magnum opus, Risale-i Nur, introduced a spiritual approach that is relevant to the context of contemporary society, emphasizing the importance of integrating spirituality in everyday life. Nursi's main ideas in Sufism include a new understanding of clairvoyance, the concept of ikram ilahi, shortcuts to ma'rifatullah, and interfaith dialog as part of efforts to create social harmony. Nursi also emphasized that Sufism is not only a path to personal closeness to God, but also a means of building inclusive communities and contributing to social welfare. Through his views, Nursi offers a new perspective on Sufism that is more open, rational and in tune with modern values, without losing the essence of traditional Sufism.
