Abstract

Natural destruction is a severe problem faced by human beings up to the present. Many factors are identified, including less awareness of its preservation, no matter how much research is exposed. This study investigates how Al-Ghazali’s ecosufism theory is implemented at Pesantren Al-Anwar 3 of Central Java. This study employs a qualitative method with field research, which involves an anthropological approach to observe and analyze the implementation of al-Ghazali’s ecosufism concept regarding environmental ethics and waste management at Pesantren Al-Anwar 3 in Central Java. The research findings reveal al-Ghazali’s concept in dealing with environmental issues, including shukr (thankfulness), zuhd (asceticism), ‘uzla (seclusion) and maḥabba (love). They are practiced by Pesantren Al-Anwar 3 by creating innovative waste management systems, such as burning without emitting smoke, optimizing organic waste as worm feed, and utilizing the remaining combustion as material for paving. This shows how Al-Ghazali’s ecosufism theory is implemented in waste management and can effectively reduce the impact of natural damage.Contribution: This research contributes to overcoming natural damage by applying al-Ghazali’s ecosufism theory and combining it with ecological principles. It can be one of the effective ways to offer a sustainable ecological management model that can be widely adopted to overcome environmental problems that modern humans face today.

The emergence of Sufism was assessed rightly from the time of Qadiriyyah Sufi practice and some scholars that were known with it, like Sheikh Abdulrahman Muhammad bin Sharif and Sheikh Muhammad Wazir (1882-1945), called “Waziri Mamma” before the emergence of Tijjaniyyah Sufi order through a scholar Man-Haruna, alias “Man-yisa Naku” in Banwuya, during the reign of the 2nd Etsu Nupe Muhammadu Saba (1859-1873) known as “Ma’asaba”. The paper adopted a qualitative survey where Interviews were conducted with seasoned Sufi members. The researchers purposively selected participants for the study because they are Muslims and possess knowledge about the phenomenon investigated. The paper provides an overview of some socio-religious practices of Sufis in Bida, Niger State, with the way and manner they are practised in accordance with the teachings of Islam and also reveals the effects of training on adherents by the Sufis in Bida.Contribution: This study contributes to revealing the shift of the Nupe people from polytheism to Monotheism with the role of the Sufis.

Abstract

This study examines how Buya Hamka's Sufism education can foster the spirit of nationalism in the digital era. This study employs the phenomenological hermeneutic and content analysis approaches to extract and analyze Buya Hamka's views on spiritual intelligence and its role in fostering social purity. The findings reveal strategies from Buya Hamka to promote nationalism in the digital age by incorporating Sufism principles and practices into the educational framework. Hamka considers Sufism a unifying force capable of transcending divisions based on ethnicity and region. Sufism provides a common ground for Indonesians of various backgrounds to unite under a shared Islamic identity. Further, he argues the significance of Islam's inner and spiritual dimensions, such as spiritual discipline, as integral components of Islamic education. Education should stress elevating cognitive intelligence and nurture qualities such as compassion, humility, and integrity. In Hamka's view, Islamic education combines traditional Islamic teachings, Sufism principles, and a commitment to developing a strong national character.Contribution: This study provides a new perspective on education promoted by Buya Hamka to shape national identity in the digital era. Hamka insists on character building, cognitive and spiritual intelligence, and building nationalism character in Islamic education.

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.
