Abstract

This study examines the epistemology of Sufi healing as presented in Miftāḥ al-Ṣudūr by Pangersa Abah Anom. Employing a descriptive qualitative methodology and the Miles and Huberman analysis model, the research explores how classical Sufi concepts—such as tazkiyyah, takhliyyah, and tanfiyyah—are integrated with modern empirical insights from psychology and neuroscience to form a holistic framework for self-healing. The study highlights that the practices of dhikr (specifically dhikr jahr) and tawajjuh meditation serve as instruments for inner purification and as catalysts for emotional regulation and neuroplasticity. Additionally, the research underscores the critical role of authentic spiritual guidance (talqīn) in ensuring that these practices yield transformative spiritual and psychological benefits. The findings suggest that Sufi healing offers a robust interdisciplinary paradigm that can address contemporary mental health challenges while reinforcing the enduring relevance of the Sufi tradition. Contribution: The epistemology of Sufi healing presented in Miftāḥ al-Ṣudūr contributes a novel insight by showing that, in addition to the traditional practice of talqīn, the healing process can also be initiated and understood through an epistemological awareness of mind defilements (muḥaddaṡāt), as indicated by the occurrence of automatically wandering minds (gaflah).

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

This research explores the phases of the spiritual journey in Suluk Linglung, a work by Sunan Kalijaga, through a semiotic analysis. Suluk Linglung is a piece of literature that contains the teachings of Sufism, characterized by Javanese elements. This Suluk reports the spiritual journey of a highly revered Javanese saint, Kanjeng Sunan Kalijaga. The term 'linglung' in the Javanese vocabulary implies confusion, indecision, or a condition full of doubt. It represents a dilemma, indicating existential confusion. There are phases in the spiritual journey that are laden with symbols and can be interpreted from a Sufism perspective. Hence, this Suluk becomes intriguing to study using semiotic methods. The study results reveal five phases of the spiritual journey, which are abundant in meaning: First, the meeting with Sunan Bonang. Second, Ascetic Practice on the Riverbank. Third, Laku Ngidang. Fourth, Hajj Pilgrimage to Mecca. Fifth, Meeting with Prophet Khidr. Contribution: Discovering the style and phase of Sunan Kalijaga's spiritual journey. The language used in Suluk Linglung is a language full of symbols. With semiotics, we can do a deeper ‘interpretation’. That Sunan Kalijaga's practice was not merely a physical practice, but also an inner practice that was expressed using a deep and poetic literary language.

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.
