Abstract

This study examines the life of KH Dauglas Toha Yahya (Gus Lik) as a contemporary expression of non-institutional social Sufism in Indonesia. Over the past two decades, the rise of symbolic religiosity, the popularity of celebrity preachers, and the commodification of religion have created a gap between outward religious expressions and substantive forms of social piety. This study aims to explain how Gus Lik’s everyday practices present an alternative model of religiosity rooted in simplicity, social proximity, and service to the community. Using a qualitative design and a historical–hermeneutic framework, the study draws on in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The data were analyzed using content and thematic analysis. The main findings identify three central patterns: first, Sufi asceticism (zuhud), manifested in a minimalist lifestyle, rejection of wealth and privileges, and closeness to marginalized groups; second, ta’dzim toward one’s teacher, which forms moral ethos, emotional discipline, and non-institutional charismatic authority; and third, khidmah (social service), reflected in direct engagement with the community, the formation of horizontal solidarity, and the creation of inclusive religious spaces. The study’s implications indicate that these Sufi values can play a significant role in strengthening social cohesion, offering critique against the commodification of spirituality, and presenting a model of religious leadership grounded in ethical exemplarity. The originality of this study lies in its systematic mapping of a contemporary Sufi figure who has received limited scholarly attention, as well as the formulation of a typology of “social Sufism” as a theoretical contribution to religious studies in Southeast Asia.

Abstract

General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University (KDU) pioneered preventive brain health and mental well-being by integrating Life’s Ten Principles into the Certificate in Teaching in Higher Education (CTHE) program during the 2024 Preventive Brain Health Week. The pilot involved 40 early-career academics who participated in interactive lectures, practical sessions, and reflective teaching portfolios focusing on holistic lifestyle factors such as healthy eating, physical activity, sleep hygiene, stress management, metabolic health, and social engagement. The findings suggest that feedback from students and young academics was used to inform decisions regarding program improvement. Furthermore, participants reported that integrating brain health activities may support professional development, teaching effectiveness, and mental resilience, contributing to a healthy, happy, and effective learning environment
