Abstract

Happiness is a fundamental goal in human life, yet its meaning is often interpreted in various ways. This study aims to examine the concept of happiness in Stoic philosophy and its relevance to Islamic Guidance. This research employs a qualitative approach through library research, analyzing the thoughts of Stoic philosophers such as Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius, and connecting them with principles of Islamic Guidance derived from the Qur'an and Hadith. The findings reveal that happiness in Stoicism is understood as a state of inner peace attained through rational deliberation, disciplined self-mastery, and equanimous acceptance of the uncontrollable. In contrast, Islamic Guidance views happiness as a harmony between spiritual and social dimensions, realized through faith, worship, and submission to the will of Allah (tawakkul and ridhā). There is a significant convergence between the two, particularly in the aspects of self-mastery, acceptance of destiny, and the search for deeper meaning in life. The study shows that Stoic values can enrich Islamic counseling methods, especially in assisting individuals to achieve inner calm amid the pressures of modern life. The integration of Stoic principles with Islamic spiritual approaches may serve as an effective guidance strategy in shaping individuals who are resilient, patient, and wise.

Abstract

The jeguran tradition is one of the cultural practices of the Javanese community in the pesarean pond of Kajen Village, Pati Regency. Although wrapped in local traditions, there are Islamic values ​​in it, especially the value of monotheism. This study aims to reveal the meaning and values ​​of monotheism contained in the jeguran tradition and explain how the jeguran tradition becomes a means of conveying Islamic teachings to the community with a cultural approach. The method used is qualitative with a case study approach. Data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews with community leaders, and participants in the jeguran activities. The results of the study show that the jeguran tradition contains monotheism values ​​that are reflected as a form of the oneness of Allah through prayer and intentions that are said, influencing a person's life, physical and spiritual cleansing, an attitude of surrender and trusting completely to Allah. This tradition is an effective cultural da'wah media in spreading the teachings of monotheism in a society that is still strong with Javanese cultural values ​​so that local traditions can be a strategic media in conveying Islamic values, especially monotheism without eliminating local wisdom.
