Abstract

Amid the pressure-filled flow of modernity, Sheikh Nawawi al-Bantani's concept of zuhd offers a new perspective on achieving psychological well-being. This study explores the intersection between the teachings of Zuhd al-Bantani and the six dimensions of psychological well-being developed by Ryff. Through qualitative analysis based on the literature study, a positive correlation was found between the concept of zuhd a l-Bantani and increased psychological well-being. The three main components of zuhd - perception of divine support, orientation to the afterlife, and total acceptance of life experiences - play a significant role in building self-acceptance, environmental mastery, and personal growth. Zuhd also encourages forming positive relationships with others and provides a clear purpose in life. This study suggests that the implementation of zuhd can be an effective strategy in dealing with contemporary psychological challenges, offering a balance between spirituality and mental health. These findings pave the way for further integration between classical Sufism teachings and modern psychological approaches, providing a holistic alternative to improve quality of life amidst the complexities of the contemporary world. This study's implications could revolutionise the approach to psychological well-being by integrating classical spiritual wisdom into contemporary mental health practices.

Abstract

This study examines and compares the concept of nafs in the works of two prominent Paripatetic Muslim philosophers: Ibn Sina and Ibn Bajjah. Both philosophers played important roles in developing the theory of the soul in the Islamic philosophical tradition. Though their views are often considered to be influenced by Greek philosophy, particularly Aristotelianism, this study seeks to demonstrate that their concept of nafs is an original contribution with a strong foundation in the Qur'an and Sunnah. Using a qualitative approach, the study collects data from the primary works of both figures as well as relevant secondary literature. The analysis reveals key differences between the two philosophers. First, Ibn Sina divides the types of nafs into three: the vegetable soul, the animal soul, and the human soul. In contrast, Ibn Bajjah analyzes the nafs more simply, focusing on its power. Second, regarding the immortality of the nafs, Ibn Sina's view is more comprehensive than Ibn Bajjah's, which limits immortality to the mind and the nafs natiqah. Third, regarding the perfection of the nafs, Ibn Sina emphasizes its perfection as a whole, whereas Ibn Bajjah limits it to the context of active reason.
