Abstract

The article aims to analyze the relevance of the concept of fasting from a Sufi perspective for formulating a practical approach to overcoming spiritual challenges in the digital age, including digital overload, fast-tainment, and “digital sin.” Employing a qualitative library research with a theological-philosophical analytical framework, the study draws on the Quran, Hadith, and Al-Ghazali's Ihya 'Ulum al-Din as primary sources. Data was analyzed through a hermeneutic interpretation of religious texts to build an argument about the relevance of Sufi fasting in the digital context. The study found that the common understanding of fasting (shaumul umum) is no more relevant in the digital age. In this context, the concept of shaumul khawwas, which involves controlling sinful actions, as well as Sufi practices such as mujahadah an-nafs and digital detox (as contemporary ‘uzlah), becomes an essential “spiritual firewall.” The findings show that fasting in the digital age requires a holistic approach that extends beyond the physical aspect, making the Shaumul Khawwas framework an urgent necessity. The findings in this article contribute to providing practical guidance for Muslims to maintain spiritual integrity during fasting amid the onslaught of digital technology, filling a gap in previous studies related to fasting.

Abstract

This study examines the complex relationship between religion, violence, and secularism by analyzing the perspectives of thinkers such as Marx, Nietzsche, Hobbes, and Karen Armstrong. Although religion is often considered the primary source of violence, this paper argues that violence related to religion is better understood as a manifestation of deeper political, economic, and existential forces. This study also explores the different paths of secularism development in the Western and Islamic worlds. In the West, secularism emerged as a revolutionary response to the corruption of church authority during the Dark Ages. On the other hand, secularism in the Islamic context was shaped by the need to manage religious diversity, as illustrated by the Medina Charter. The method used in this research is a qualitative-historical analysis of texts discussing the relationship between religion, violence, and the state. The novelty of this research lies in the application of José Casanova's concept of secularism to reveal that, despite the process of secularization, the West has experienced a resurgence of religion in the public sphere—thus demonstrating the failure of secularism as an ideology and nor statecraft principles.
