Abstract

The diversity of religions necessitates the recognition and respect of religions other than ours. Islam is a religion that is peaceful and full of love. The spread of radicalism in religious communities in Indonesia illustrates the lack of tolerance in the recognition of religious diversity and the religious diversity of others. This literary research uses a qualitative approach with content analysis and comprehensive interpretation for the Qur'anic text about reciprocity verses. This study concludes that the Qur'an provides enthusiasm and solutions in terms of management and counteracts religious radicalism in the spirit of 'mutual'. Recitation of reciprocal verses as illustrated by the Quran with the editorial and unique arrangement of language in the al-Nisa’ verse 86 and al-An'am verse 108 provides a 'mutual' solution. The principle of mutual respect (al-Nisa ': 86) and not berating each other (al-An'am: 108) with a better attitude in religious life.

Abstract

Rumi’s spiritual teaching is slightly different from others' in a way that his devotional concepts put greater emphasis on ethics. Rumi believes that spirituality tightly relates to ethics, without which one neither could attain nor be able to stay in spiritual perfection. To sail to God, one should implement some ethical values best covered by the frame to love and to renunciate. To love entails loving God and His creatures, while to renunciate indicates the detachment from worldly desires. Putting these two into application, one will be able to attain the union with the Sublime Being (fana’). However for Rumi, one could be said to reach spiritual perfection only after he returned from self-mortification and gained spiritual wisdom that allows him to share universal love to the rest of human lives (baqa’).

Abstract

This study, based on recent virtual observation, explores the process of cultural negotiations of singing Singiran among millennial. In addition, it also breaks down the strategies practiced by the Singiran musicians in introducing their artistic products into digital society. In this study, in addition to observing the lyrics and chords of Singiran, I interviewed Rijal Vertizon and his associates; the musicians who have popularity based on the number of their subscribers. The Singiran musicians regenerated the tradition of singing Singiran with innovation, especially upon the arrangement of the music, as well as developing a strategy to improve sounds and fulfill the aesthetic changes of populist Muslim markets and newly emerging millennial Muslim identities. In addition to reconstructing this traditional culture, Singiran musicians are interested in creating a positive image both for insiders and outsiders of Javanese cultures and reaching the larger Muslim community. My observations to the Singiran's enthusiasts show that innovative Singiran can play a role in shaping the cultural identity of the Javanese Millennial Muslim. In other perspective, it could be called as a new kind of local wisdom in contemporary Javanese life.

Abstract

Sufism plays a vital role in the process of spreading Islam in Indonesia, the key factor being inclusion and tolerance. Nowadays, the tolerant spirit of Sufi Islam is more and more challenged by certain intolerant Salafi groups. It seems that some Sufi groups in Indonesia have unfortunately adopted some of their attitudes and have become increasingly wary of other religions and unwilling to engage with them in a constructive dialogue. This negative trend creates tension within the Muslim community and in Indonesian society at large. After all, Indonesia is a country that is built on the principles of religious plurality. This article explores the teachings and practices of the Naqshbandi Haqqani Sufi order and their understanding of religious plurality. The study found that—despite the existing Salafi trend— the Naqshbandi shaykhs continue to praise religious plurality as one of God’s blessings. In their view, the sincere engagement in interreligious dialogue allows their followers to experience and actualize God’s Love. The Naqshbandi order also actively engages in interreligious dialogue with other communities in Jakarta and Kartasura.

Abstract

This research discusses the Javanese text of Baḥr al-Lāhūt following a philological, epistemological, and historical approach. The aim is to study the content and history of the Baḥr al-Lāhūt and trace the Aceh–Makassar–East Java tarekat network based on the circulation of the manuscripts in East Java. The study found that the original manuscripts are in the possession of Pondok Pesantren Sumber Anyar and two other collections inSidoarjo and Pare Kediri. The textual study of the Baḥr al-Lāhūt is based on the Sumber Anyar version. Theothersurviving manuscripts are listed in the Dayah Tano Abee and the Yusuf Makassar collection. The text of the Baḥr al-Lāhūt describes the nature of God and the creation of the universe as a manifestation of Nūr Muḥammad and strongly influenced by Ibn ʿArabī’s concepts of unity of being and emanation. The distribution of the Baḥr al-Lāhūtin East Java allowed the researcher to reconstruct a network of tarekat ulama who transmitted the text through the chain of Abdurra’uf Singkili and Yusuf Makassar.

Abstract

Islamic art is radiant beauty of the Islamic spiritual. The young generation must be able to be the front guard in preaching a beautiful religion. The public abandoned Islamic art because it was considered ancient and inferior to the conventional art, which was increasingly innovative. But lately, Islamic art has become popular in Indonesian people again as a phenomenon which is widely discussed, namely the pesantren literary art, represented by the novel Hati Suhita by Khima Anis. While, Islamic music art represented by Sabyan Gambus. As long as Islamic art can maintain quality and continue to innovate, Islamic art can break the dominance of conventional art in Indonesia.

Abstract

To behave as God’s attitude and moral (akhlak) is part of the purpose of the creation of man as a Caliph of God on this earth. Humans who are part of the image of Majesty/tajalli of Allah have the potential ilahiyah that is capable of being a medium for glorifying the Earth. Therefore, humans have an obligation themselves to always try to be the ideal image on the side of God. Through the study of analytic description of the at-Tahbir fi at-Tazkir al-Qusyairy works, the author tried to explain al-Qusyairy's view of man as the ideal image of (al-Insan al-Kamil) through the efforts of continually behave as Allah’s behaiour. Al-Qusyairy States that one of the methods to make the humanbeing as a perfect creation is by always working to the imitation of meaning contained in the asthma ' and the nature of God, the sacred, the Asma'ul Husna. However, not all the names and the nature of God can be applied in the attitude and behaviour of human beings. Because, there is a portion of the name and nature of God, who contains oneness, greatness, glory of the substance of God, as the word of God, al-Ahad al-Mutakkabir, etc. While the name and the nature of God that shows the true nature of his actions can be imitated by man, such as al-' Alim al-Latif al-Wahhab al-Khaliq, etc.

Abstract

The phenomenon of the emergence of a higher interest in studying religious knowledge with a spiritual path began to develop in society. This cannot be separated from the role of the tarekat in the midst of urban life. People in urban areas who study religious knowledge and learn about Sufism in urban areas are then better known as "urban Sufism". The existence of an institution that facilitates students who want to explore religious knowledge while learning Sufism, UICCI Islamic Boarding School branch Sulaimaiyah Ciputat, located in Ciputat, South Tangerang, is a place for Muslim students who want to study religious knowledge and also Sufism. Most students in this pesantren are students from various fields and majors from various universities which are dominated by UIN Jakarta students. This pesantren has its own privileges compared to several other pesantren around it, namely that they practice the teachings of Sufism with the Naqsyabandiyah order as its basic foundation.
