Abstract

Parents of children with cancer face a range of emotional, spiritual, and practical challenges that often compel them to develop resilient coping mechanisms. This study, employing a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews and participant observation, explores how tadabbur (contemplative reflection) on fiṭra (human innateness) reshapes how parents cope with their child's illness at YKAKI (Yayasan Kasih Anak Kanker Indonesia) in Semarang. It also investigates how internalizing tadabbur fiṭra influences their coping strategies. The findings indicate that embracing tadabbur fit}ra helps parents reconnect with their innate trust in God (tawakkal), gratitude (shukr), and acceptance (rid}a>), strengthening their spiritual resilience and emotional stability. These insights underscore the potential for spiritual practices to enhance psychosocial interventions for similar contexts. By internalizing tadabbur fiṭra, parents can improve their well-being and better support their children through health crises. Contribution: This study contributes to the intersection of spirituality, health psychology, and family resilience, offering practical implications for spirituality-based healthcare programs.

Abstract

Nagari Paninggahan is well known for preserving Minangkabau traditions that integrate Islamic teachings, customary law, and sustainable natural resource management. This study examines how Sufi values are embedded in local customs and their role in environmental conservation. Employing a qualitative ethnographic approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving community leaders, village officials, and local residents. The findings reveal that traditions such as Lubuk Larangan and Balimau promote ecological ethics by regarding forests, rivers, fisheries, and agricultural ecosystems as sacred trusts (amanah) entrusted by God. This spiritual perspective encourages environmental responsibility, limits resource exploitation, and reinforces sustainable practices. The study concludes that the integration of Sufi spirituality and Minangkabau customary traditions contributes significantly to ecological sustainability while preserving local cultural identity and strengthening community-based environmental stewardship. Contribution: This study provides insight into Sufism's role in fostering environmental awareness, promoting harmony between humans and nature, and maintaining cultural identity.

Abstract

Existential anxiety has emerged as a growing concern in contemporary digital society, yet its spiritual dimension remains insufficiently explored. This study examines manifestations of existential anxiety and spiritual coping through the philosophical framework of Buya Hamka's Tasawuf Modern. Using a qualitative interpretive approach, it integrates digital content analysis of publicly accessible narratives from TikTok, X, Instagram, and Threads with philosophical textual analysis of Tasawuf Modern. The findings reveal three major manifestations of existential anxiety: loss of meaning in life, digital isolation, and uncertainty about the future, alongside four forms of spiritual coping: gratitude (shukr), contentment (qanā’ah), trust in God (tawakkal), and remembrance of God (dhikr). These findings highlight the relevance of Hamka's modern Sufism (Tasawuf Modern) as a philosophical framework for understanding spiritually grounded coping with existential anxiety in the digital era. Contribution: This article contributes to the growing scholarship on existential anxiety by integrating empirical digital narratives with Buya Hamka's Tasawuf Modern. Rather than treating Hamka's thought as an empirically tested intervention, the study positions Tasawuf Modern as an interpretive philosophical framework for understanding contemporary forms of spiritual coping in digital society.

Abstract

Despite the rapid expansion of digital religious platforms, little is known about how Indonesian Sufi orders have adapted their spiritual practices to cyberspace. This study examines the development of Cyber-Sufism in Indonesia by identifying the typology of digital practices among Sufi orders. Using virtual ethnography and qualitative content analysis, it analyzes the official websites and digital platforms of nine Indonesian Sufi orders selected through purposive sampling. The findings identify two major types of Cyber-Sufism. The informative type, represented by the Qadiriyya wa Naqshbandiyya, Shadhiliyya, Tijaniyya, Syattariyya, Idrisiyya, Sammaniyya, and Rifa'iyya orders, primarily employs digital media for one-way dissemination of Sufi teachings, literature, organizational information, and institutional activities. Meanwhile, the interactive type, represented by the Naqshbandi Haqqani order, enables reciprocal spiritual engagement through online bayʿah, dhikr, ṣuḥbah, spiritual consultation, and virtual religious gatherings. The study concludes that the Naqshbandi Haqqani order exemplifies the most comprehensive model of interactive Cyber-Sufism through its digital zāwiya, which facilitates continuous spiritual learning, guidance, and religious engagement in the digital sphere. Contribution: This study contributes to understanding the transformation of Sufi authority, religious learning, and spiritual interaction in the digital age, while offering a conceptual framework for mapping contemporary digital Sufism in Indonesia.

Abstract

Absence of God (al-ghiyāb al-ilāhiyya) in Western cosmology has fostered a mechanistic understanding of the universe as operating independently. In contrast, Islamic cosmology, particularly in the Sufi tradition, emphasizes the continuous and holistic presence of God (al-ḥaḍrah al-ilāhiyya). This study explores the cosmological thought of Shaykh ‘Abd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī (470/1077–561/1165), founder of the Qādiriyya Ṣūfī order. Employing a qualitative library research approach, the study analyzes al-Jīlānī’s Sirr al-Asrār (The Secret of Secrets) alongside other relevant works using an Islamic cosmic levels-cycles framework and expert triangulation of Sufi thought. The findings reveal that al-Jīlānī’s divine cosmology presents an integrated vision linking four divine presences (al-ḥaḍarāt al-ilāhiyya al-arba‘ah): lāhūt (Godhead), jabarūt (Divine Power), malakūt (Spiritual Sovereignty), and nāsūt (Humanity). These four levels are systematically correlated with eight cosmological elements, including the apostles, cosmos, spiritual centers, heavens, spirits, knowledge, existential levels, and human intellect. Al-Jīlānī’s holistic model offers an integrative alternative to mechanistic cosmology and reinforces the spiritual unity of God, humanity, and the universe. Contribution: The findings in this study contribute to reinforcing the concept of integralism in cosmic spirituality, wisdom of cosmology, sacred cosmology, spiritual-holistic cosmology, and mechanistic cosmology.

Abstract

Tapa, a form of Javanese asceticism, constitutes a longstanding tradition and a central element of spiritual life in Javanese society. This practice is frequently documented in Javanese literary works and is regarded as a significant cultural legacy. The present study analyses the concept of tapa in Raden Ngabehi Ronggowarsito's Serat Pamoring Kawula Gusti, focusing on its relationship to Sufi teachings and its role as a process of spiritual discipline and moral transformation. The data were collected through documentation techniques and analysed using a descriptive-interpretive approach through content analysis. The results revealed that tapa is depicted as a systematic approach to self-discipline and moral refinement, with the objectives of attaining sastra cetha (manifest knowledge) and achieving manunggaling kawula Gusti (union of the servant with God). The text demonstrates parallels with Sufi teachings, including purification of the self (takhallī), cultivation of virtuous character (taḥallī), and the unveiling of veils for divine inspiration (tajallī), ultimately culminating in spiritual union with God, as represented by the concepts of ittiḥād and ḥulūl. Contribution: This study highlights the convergence of Javanese spiritual practices and Sufi teachings through Serat Pamoring Kawula Gusti, revealing how tapa cultivates self-discipline, moral refinement, and spiritual awareness, corresponding to Sufi concepts such as takhallī, taḥallī, and tajallī.

Abstract

The continued preservation of religious traditions in modern Muslim societies raises questions about maintaining spiritual authority amid social changes. This study explores how Sheikh Ahmad Khatib Sambas's spiritual legacy, founder of the Tarekat Qa>diriyya wa Naqshbandiyya (TQN) in Sambas, West Kalimantan, Indonesia, has been retained and reinterpreted in contemporary contexts. While earlier studies have focused mostly on TQN's history, teachings, and rituals, less attention has been given to how its spiritual legacy is actively preserved and adapted. This study applies a qualitative historical method combined with ethnographic fieldwork. The data were then analysed with Anthony Giddens's structuration and Catherine Bell's ritualisation theory. The study reveals that the TQN legacy endures through silsila, doctrinal teachings, ritual practices, and the authority of the murshid. It also presents a three-part adaptive model, namely organisational openness, inclusive outreach, and digital dissemination that allows TQN Khatibiyah to reproduce inherited traditions while maintaining doctrinal consistency. The continuity and adaptation support each other, helping a modern Sufi order uphold its spiritual heritage amid social change. Contribution: This study proposes a threefold adaptive model that explains how contemporary Sufi orders preserve spiritual continuity through organizational openness, inclusive religious outreach, and digital dissemination.

Abstract

Study on Indonesian Sufi orders has focused on spirituality, politics, and religious revival, but their role in social welfare is scattered across isolated studies. This article explores how these orders act as welfare providers and transform spiritual ethics into social services. Using PRISMA 2020 guidelines, the review searched databases like Scopus, DOAJ, Garuda, SINTA, and Google Scholar for peer-reviewed articles in English and Indonesian from 2013 to 2024. After removing duplicates, screening titles and abstracts, assessing full texts, and evaluating quality, 18 articles were selected and analyzed through thematic coding and cross-case comparison. Most studies focus on TQN/Inabah and Idrisiyya, with fewer on other Qādiriyya–Naqshbandiyya, Naqshbandiyya, Shādhiliyya, Hizib Nahdlatul Wathan, and hybrid Sufi communities. The studies reveal three main, interconnected welfare mechanisms: care and human development, redistributive and economic support, and community resilience and inclusion. The findings indicate that spiritual-ethical commitments are socially impactful when expressed through relational authority, trust within congregations, organizational routines, and institutional structures. Contribution: This review conceptualises ṭarīqa-based welfare as a socio-spiritual configuration linking spiritual-ethical foundations, relational infrastructure, institutional translation, and multidimensional welfare outcomes, thereby extending the interface between Sufi studies and Islamic social work.
