Abstract

Sufi orders have made a significant contribution to Indonesian society; however, systematic literature reviews on this topic remain limited. This article aims to examine the role of Sufi orders in supporting social change in Indonesia. Using the SLR and PRISMA guidelines, this study reviews journal articles from Google Scholar published between 2015 and 2024. The analysis of 14 articles indicates that Sufi orders in Indonesia play a significant role in socio-political, educational, philanthropic, economic, personal, and spiritual transformation. The reviewed articles demonstrate that Sufi orders serve as effective agents of social change, employing adaptive, evolutionary, and contextually relevant approaches to address societal needs. This research provides a comprehensive perspective on Sufi orders’ contribution to social change, offering practical methods to support sustainable social transformation in Indonesia. Further studies can conduct more comprehensive SLRs with broader scopes, including more varied databases. Contribution: This paper contributes to understanding the positive contributions made by Sufi orders to Indonesian society in terms of socio-political, educational, philanthropic, economic, personal, and spiritual transformation. It also provides a basis for further study to review the role of Sufi orders from different perspectives.

Abstract

The global rise of mental health issues has encouraged the search for therapeutic models that integrate spiritual and psychological dimensions. Sufism provides a rich foundation for inner healing, yet its epistemological basis is still underexplored. This study examines the epistemology of Sufi healing in Miftāḥ al-Ṣudūr [The Key of Hearts] by Pangersa Abah Anom, employing a descriptive qualitative method and the Miles and Huberman analysis model. Classical Sufi concepts like purification, emptying, and filtering of the self, combined with psychological and neuroscientific insights, form a holistic framework for self-healing. Dhikr and spiritual heart-to-heart transmission are mechanisms for inner purification, emotional regulation, and neuroplasticity. Sufi healing presents an interdisciplinary paradigm relevant to the mental health discourse; however, it is limited to textual analysis and lacks empirical field data. Future studies should incorporate ethnographic and clinical approaches involving active Sufi practitioners. Contribution: This study establishes an epistemological framework for Sufi healing by integrating classical Sufi concepts with psychological and neuroscientific insights. It introduces a new perspective on healing through epistemological awareness of mental impurity and mind-wandering.

Abstract

Sufism communities in the digital world have emerged as a form of religious accentuation in the digital era and a space for reflection on religious and social issues. This study aims to disclose the identity of virtual Sufism in Majelis Kalbun Salim (MKS). The research was conducted using qualitative methods with a symbolic interactionism approach. Symbolic interactionism requires the production of meanings created from certain symbols within a community/social group. Data collection techniques included documentation studies and in-depth interviews. Documentation was used to capture and observe the interactions of MKS members in both the virtual and real worlds. Meanwhile, interviews were conducted with Muhammad Yaser Arafat, one of the founders of MKS, Kiai Akrom Solihin, Kiai Abdul Ghodir, and Kang Din Rosyidin as active members. The results of this study explain that the identity of MKS's virtual Sufism is created through two elements: first, the influence of the online study of Ihya' Ulumuddin led by Ulil Abshar Abdalla (Gus Ulil), and second, the production of Sufi humour. MKS members use both as a control medium to continually self-regulate, erode ego and self-importance, discard ideal human attributes, and transcend merely ritualistic practices. Contribution: This study provides another perspective in understanding the form of Sufism in the digital/virtual world. The virtual world is perceived and positioned by Majelis Kalbum Salim members as a medium for deconstructing personal ego in religion so that it transcends ritual aspects alone.

Abstract

The network of Middle Eastern and archipelagic Sufi scholars can be traced from various dimensions. The Islamic arrival history in Indonesia was brought by Arab, Persian, and Indian merchants, as well as scholars. This study aims to disclose the formation of the network between Middle Eastern and archipelagic Sufi scholars and uncover the dynamics of the development of Sufi teachings in Indonesia. The method applied is qualitative-descriptive with library research. The data sources are books and scientific works. The data were then analysed using Miles and Huberman, consisting of three activities simultaneously: data reduction, data display, and conclusion. This study revealed that the network of Middle Eastern and Archipelagic Sufi scholars was created through trade, da'wah, marriage, arts, culture, and education. Therefore, the process of Islamization in Indonesia was mostly carried out through the Sufi path because of the cultural similarities between the two. The impact of the network form of these two Sufi scholars shows the dynamics of the development of Sufism from groups that (1) sympathise, those who believe that Sufism is a teaching from the Prophet, and (2) those who are antipathetic and reject the presence of Sufism and tariqa teachings, especially in Indonesia because the Prophet never exemplify these teachings. Contribution: The results of this study provide scientific insight into the arrival of Islam in Indonesia, which occurred more through a Sufi process through a network of Sufi scholars from the Archipelago and the Middle East.

Abstract

Classical Javanese literature covers a wide range of traditional folklore and oral traditions, including Sufism and Islamic mysticism. Among these mystical literary works is Suluk Linglung, which portrays the spiritual journey of Kanjeng Sunan Kalijaga, one of the Nine Saints (Walisongo) of Java. Written in the form of a poem, Suluk Linglung describes the spiritual journey through symbolic narratives. It explores existential confusion and stages of spiritual development, using Javanese culture and art as a vehicle for Islamic teachings that emphasize tolerance and peace. This article examines the phases of Sunan Kalijaga’s spiritual journey as described in Suluk Linglung. Applying semiotics theory to reveal the spiritual meanings of symbolic narratives, some distinct phases are identified: the encounter with Sunan Bonang, ascetic practice on the riverbank, laku ngidang (behaving like a deer), the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, and the meeting with Prophet Khidr. These phases represent the saint’s spiritual journey toward the True Reality. Contribution: This study contributes to the semiotics framework in interpreting Suluk Linglung, focusing on the state of being lost and confused as a spiritual-existential condition for the seeker. The phases of the spiritual journey localize the universal Sufi concepts in symbolic expressions and Javanese traditions.

Abstract

This research delves into the symbolism within Ibn al-Fāriḍ's Qaṣīdah Khamriyyah, a prominent Sufi poem from the 14th century that utilizes wine as a metaphor for spiritual experiences. The poem reinterprets wine beyond mere intoxication, likening it to the ‘holy water’ mentioned in the Qur'an, specifically the Zanjabīl and Salsabīl springs in paradise. Ibn al-Fāriḍ views wine as an essential element for a sālik (seeker) striving for unity with the Divine Beloved, marking the peak of their spiritual journey. This study uncovers the philosophical and symbolic layers of wine's descriptions in the poem by linking textual analysis with interpretative commentary. Ultimately, it argues that Ibn al-Fāriḍ's work transcends aesthetic beauty, offering profound insights into mystical experiences and the pursuit of divinity within Sufism, enriching our understanding of spiritual symbolism in his poetry. Contribution: This research contributes new insights into the understanding of the intricate relationship between the aesthetic beauty of Ibn al-Fāriḍ’s poetry and its profound mystical meanings. It enhances understanding of spiritual experiences and the pursuit of the Divine in Sufism, positioning Ibn al-Fāriḍ as a masterful poet and a significant thinker in the quest for unity with the Beloved.

Abstract

This study explores ndalem, the residence of kiai kampung (village kiai) in Madura, as an embodiment of Sufistic values and practices. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through historical analysis, ethnography, and interviews, this research examines the historical roots of Sufism in Madura, the role of kiai in Sufi practices, as well as the architectural and symbolic elements of ndalem as a spiritual and cultural space. The findings indicate that the ndalem serves as both a residence for the kiai and a place where social and religious activities of the kiai, santri, and the religious community take place. The history and background of Sufism in Madura point to the character of kiai kampung as religious leaders in rural areas who play crucial roles in spreading and revitalizing Sufi teachings among society. The structure of ndalem, as a place of kiai to dwell, reflects Sufistic values, particularly those that embody deep spirituality. One of the essential aspects is the preservation of dikr (remembrance of God) and wirid (spiritual recitations). Kiai kampung also plays a key role in maintaining these traditions among the Madurese community. Contribution: This study contributes to capturing the Sufistic expression in spatial space, besides social and ritual practices, as part of Living Sufism.
