Abstract

This study analyzes how the Tarekat Naqsyabandiyah Al-Khalidiyah Da’imiyah (TNKD) constructs and institutionalizes the integration of spiritual discipline and scientific rationality within contemporary Sufi practice. In the context of modernity, religious traditions are often perceived as incompatible with rational, scientific modes of knowledge, thereby marginalizing Sufi institutions. However, emerging forms of organized Sufism indicate a more complex negotiation between spirituality, rationality, and institutional life. This research employs a qualitative design using a spiritual ethnography approach, involving participant observation and in-depth interviews with key TNKD authorities. Data were analyzed through condensation, display, and verification within an interpretive epistemological framework. The findings reveal, first, that TNKD has transformed into an institutionalized and expansive Sufi order in which formal organizational structures enable sustainability and transregional growth without eroding spiritual authenticity. Second, TNKD’s spiritual legitimacy is grounded in a muktabarah silsilah and a stratified authority structure that ensures doctrinal continuity and communal trust. Third, TNKD integrates the Sufi discipline with scientific rationality through intellectual forums, academic writing, and evaluative mechanisms, thereby positioning tasawuf as a reflective and accountable knowledge tradition. This study contributes theoretically by conceptualizing Sufism as an epistemic institution and recommends further comparative research on rationality within contemporary Sufi orders.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Modernity has triggered a crisis of meaning, weakened moral orientation, and diminished spiritual depth, creating an urgent need for an Islamic spirituality paradigm that integrates inner experience with social responsibility. Although Fazlur Rahman’s thought has been widely discussed, the relationship between his moral hermeneutics, the concept of taqwa, and neo-Sufism as a paradigm for reconstructing Islamic spirituality remains insufficiently explored. This study aims to analyze how Fazlur Rahman’s neo-Sufism reconstructs Islamic spirituality through the integration of Qur’anic moral consciousness, inner spirituality, and social responsibility in responding to the challenges of modernity. The study employed a library research approach using content analysis of 16 relevant scholarly works. The findings reveal that Rahman’s neo-Sufism is constructed upon five interconnected themes: the critique of passive Sufism, double movement hermeneutics, taqwa as moral consciousness, prophetic ethics, and its relevance to modernity. These themes collectively establish a spiritual paradigm grounded in Qur’anic morality that integrates theological, ethical, and social dimensions. This study contributes a conceptual synthesis by positioning Fazlur Rahman’s neo-Sufism as an integrative, contextual, and transformative paradigm of Islamic spirituality for addressing contemporary societal challenges. ABSTRAK Modernitas telah memicu krisis makna, melemahnya orientasi moral, dan berkurangnya kedalaman spiritual sehingga diperlukan paradigma spiritualitas Islam yang mampu mengintegrasikan pengalaman batin dengan tanggung jawab sosial. Meskipun pemikiran Fazlur Rahman telah banyak dikaji, hubungan antara hermeneutika moral, konsep taqwa, dan neo-sufisme sebagai paradigma rekonstruksi spiritualitas Islam masih belum dikaji secara integratif. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis bagaimana neo-sufisme Fazlur Rahman merekonstruksi spiritualitas Islam melalui integrasi kesadaran moral Qur'ani, pengalaman batin, dan tanggung jawab sosial dalam menghadapi dinamika modernitas. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan library research dengan analisis isi terhadap 16 literatur ilmiah yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konstruksi neo-sufisme Fazlur Rahman dibangun melalui lima tema utama, yaitu kritik terhadap sufisme pasif, hermeneutika double movement, taqwa sebagai kesadaran moral, etika profetik, dan relevansinya terhadap modernitas. Kelima tema tersebut membentuk paradigma spiritualitas yang menempatkan moralitas Qur'ani sebagai dasar integrasi antara dimensi teologis, etis, dan sosial. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi konseptual dengan menawarkan sintesis neo-sufisme Fazlur Rahman sebagai paradigma spiritualitas Islam yang integratif, kontekstual, dan transformatif untuk merespons tantangan masyarakat modern.
