Abstract

Abstract: The global environmental crisis intensifying in our era highlights the need for new conceptual approaches to address this existential issue. This study examines the relationship between environmental ethics and Sufism, based on systemic values inherent in Holmes Roston III and the Sufistic concept of self-purification. This qualitative research employs document analysis, focusing on al-Qushayrī's Subtle Allusions and Holmes Rolston III's Environmental Ethics, analyzed through a comparative framework and supported by secondary data. The study investigates the Sufistic concepts of ascetism, fear of God, and contentment alongside the systemic values of environmental ethics. It proposes the integrative concepts of prevent-repair, care-guard, and conviction-kindness as key outcomes. These findings underscore the importance of environmental ethics, personal spirituality, and intrinsic awareness, providing both theoretical and practical insights. Contribution: Theoretically, this study advances the integration of Sufism and environmental ethics through combining Sufistic values (internal) with systemic values (external). It provides a framework for cultivating a balanced attitude and a conscious relationship with God, humans, and nature, grounded in Qur’anic principles and ecological awareness.

Abstract

The high prevalence of mental health issues among university students highlights the need for a holistic treatment approach that includes not only medical and psychological care but also spiritual support. This study examines the concept of patience in Sufism as a practical spiritual strategy for coping with mental pressure. Using a qualitative phenomenological method, it explores the subjective experiences of eight students through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. The findings indicate that students who practice patience through Sufi practices achieve enhanced emotional regulation, inner calmness, and spiritual resilience. Rather than mere endurance, patience functions as a spiritual framework that helps students reframe academic stress as divine tests, fostering steadfastness and a deeper sense of purpose. Contribution: This study contributes to the discourse on Islamic spirituality in psychology, offering an integrative, culturally rooted approach to student mental well-being. It also adds practical insight into applying Sufi teachings in modern contexts.

Abstract

The pursuit of worldly abundance and immersion in fleeting pleasures has quietly shaped the spirit of contemporary society, leading to a subtle yet profound imbalance within the human soul. By placing transitory possessions and temporal delights at the center of life's purpose, these tendencies have contributed to a deep spiritual estrangement. This study examines Syaikh Abdurrauf Singkel's concept of Tazkiyat al-nafs (soul purification) as a comprehensive spiritual framework for restoring harmony between the material and the spiritual. Drawing upon Singkel's Sufi teachings, this research explores how his methodology offers a pathway toward Insān kāmil (the perfect human)—a being who integrates worldly responsibilities with elevated spiritual consciousness. Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach through library research, the study analyzes Singkel's seminal works, including Tanbīh al-Mashyī, Mir'at al-Ṭullāb, Daqāiq al-Ḥurūf, and 'Umdat al-Muhtājīn. The findings reveal how classical Islamic spiritual disciplines—dhikr (remembrance of God), muhāsaba (self-reflection), murāqaba (divine vigilance), and tawakkal (trust in God)—serve as an enduring guide to addressing the restlessness born of excessive worldly attachment and the allure of transient joys, offering a balanced and timeless path toward inner peace in the modern age. Contribution: This study reintroduces Syaikh Abdurrauf Singkel’s concept of Tazkiyat al-nafs as a spiritual response to the prevailing pursuit of worldly abundance and immersion in fleeting pleasures, offering a practical Sufi framework rooted in Islamic tradition to guide individuals toward Insān kāmil in today’s consumer-oriented society.

Abstract

Muhammad Qasim Nanotvi (1833–1880) is primarily recognized as the founder of the Deoband seminary. His engagement with waḥdat al-wujūd reveals a neglected philosophical project that seeks to reconcile mystical intuition with rigorous metaphysical reasoning. Drawing on the intellectual legacy of Shāh Walīullāh al-Dihlawī and Ḥājī Imdādullāh Muhājir Makkī, Nanotvi affirms that all existence depends on God, yet rearticulates this within a theological structure that safeguards divine transcendence. This article examines Nanotvi's reinterpretation of waḥdat al-wujūd (the unity of being), a foundational yet contested concept in Islamic metaphysics and Sufi thought. Employing a historical-critical approach, this study reveals that Nanotvi does not fully endorse waḥdat al-wujūd but rearticulates it as the unity of the attribute of existence (ṣifāt al-wujūd), emphasizing that all existence depends on God while preserving divine transcendence and ontological distinctions between God and creation. By focusing on the attribute of existence, Nanotvi offers a systematic response to ontological debates, avoiding the controversies surrounding waḥdat al-wujūd, while maintaining the spiritual depth of this concept. Contribution: The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how Islamic thinkers navigate complex metaphysical questions, offering valuable insights for addressing the tensions between mysticism and orthodoxy.
