Abstract

This article examines the contribution of Sufism to peace by studying the role of Shaykh Husamuddin Martin Mayer in the deradicalisation program in Germany. Shaykh Husam has a unique background as a convert (Muallaf), Sufi figure, anthropologist and peace activist. This study used a qualitative method in which the data were obtained through documentation studies and interviews. Data were analysed using the theory of the Sufism Peace Paradigm and the eight Stages of Psychosocial Development theory. This study revealed that Sufism correlates and could contribute positively to creating peace. This is evident in the profile of Shaykh Husam, a convert (muallaf) who then became a murshid of the Naqshbandi-Haqqani Order (NHO) and is active in the deradicalisation program in Germany. In his opinion, Sufism can function as a coping mechanism that is effective for today's social, political and religious challenges, including deradicalisation peace programs, such as peace-making, peace-building, and peace-keeping.Contribution: This study contributes to revealing the role of sufism in creating peace and a deradicalisation program initiated by Shaykh Husam in Germany.

Abstract

This article used a biographical approach to follow the lives of former Muslim extremists in examining individual deradicalization from the actors' perspective. The results of the extremists' deradicalization were examined using theories of Salafi ideology and identity transformation. Deradicalization marks a period of transformation - a process of taking a new ideology and identity and initiating a new power. The doers adopt a new jihad ideology after being influenced by a colorful interpretation of jihad. The deradicalization also shifts from the Salafi jihadi/irhabi to the Salafi Purist, or from a violent to a less-violent jihad. They continue to support violent jihad but restrict how its principles are used. Few extremists decide to engage in moderate or non-violent jihad on their own initiative and without the influence of others. In conclusion, deradicalization does not ensure their eradication. It implies a certain amount of transformation into a new identity, which has profound short- and long-term effects. The first demonstrates that former Muslim extremists who still identify as jihadists, adhere to their ideology, and engage in a variety of jihad-related activities. The deradicalization of the extremists will be more challenging the more in-depth the knowledge and experience of violent jihad. On the other hand, the latter is dedicated to leaving the violent jihad group and ending recidivism.
