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.

Abstract

Studies of Sufism in Java often focus on Sufi ulama in coastal areas, although Tegal is less exposed compared to other cities. This study examines the typologies of Sufi ulama in Tegal during the 20th century, including their biographical trajectories and scholarly relationships. Employing a historical qualitative approach supported by elements of social network analysis, the study identifies key figures who shaped the development of Sufism in the region and maps the patterns through which religious knowledge was transmitted across generations. The findings demonstrate that Sufism in Tegal is categorized into three main types: practical Sufism (ama>li>), ethical Sufism (akhla>qi>), and neo-Sufism. Sufi ulama in Tegal integrated shari'a-oriented learning with practical Sufism, thereby forming a localized style of Sunni-Neo-Sufism that was able to respond to the social and religious dynamics of the period. Contribution: This study contributes to the field of Javanese Sufism by expanding its scope to a relatively under-recognized region, namely Tegal, and by mapping the typology and scholarly chain of Sufis in the 20th century. These findings enhance our understanding of local variations in Javanese Sufism by illustrating the emergence of Sunni-Neo-Sufi patterns that adapt to local social and religious dynamics.

Abstract

Existing studies on post-crisis economic recovery tend to privilege technocratic and pragmatic empowerment models, thereby ignoring the role of religion and spirituality in sustainable community development. Addressing this gap, this study examines how “KoPi Ngaji” constructs a holistic model of faith-based community development by integrating spiritual, social, and economic dimensions. Employing a phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with seven respondents, including a program manager and congregants. The findings reveal that “KoPi Ngaji” operates through an integrative Head, Heart, and Hand (3H) framework, which functions as a cohesive empowerment architecture. It facilitates intellectual engagement through Islamic study, entrepreneurship workshops, and dialogical learning; nurtures emotional bonds, inclusive participation, and a shared sense of belonging; translates spiritual and social capital into concrete material and moral support. These three aspects synergize to cultivate spiritual resilience and enable sustainable community recovery. Contribution: This study contributes to affirming that spiritual well-being can be the foundation of social and economic empowerment.

Abstract

Pesantren Al-Fithrah Surabaya, established by KH. Ahmad Asrori al-Ishaqi functions not only as an educational center but also as a hub for the Tariqa Qadiriyya wa Naqshbandiyya al-Utsmaniyyah (TQN al-‘Utsmaniyyah). Waẓīfa, spiritual practices, rooted in Sufi Ba’alawi tradition, have become a necessity for students in this pesantren. This study aims to uncover the spiritual chain (sanad) of the waẓīfa and to reveal why Ba‘alawi Sufi works are widely used at Pesantren Al-Fithrah. Using a qualitative approach, the data were collected from library research, field observations, and interviews. For analysis, it applies descriptive-analytical methods. The findings indicate that the practice of waẓīfa is rooted in Ba‘alawi Sufi traditions, due to some factors, including love (maḥabba) for Ba‘alawi as the descendants of Prophet Muhammad, Kiai Asrori’s lineage with Ba‘alawi Sufi figures, the connection of tariqa between Kiai Asrori and Ba‘alawi figures, and kinship ties between Kiai Asrori and Ba‘alawi Sufi figures. Contribution: This study contributes to revealing the waẓīfa sanad network of Pesantren Al-Fithrah Surabaya, which serves as a TQN al-Utsmaniyyah headquarters while adopting many spiritual practices, especially those derived from the works of Ba'alawi Sufi figures.
