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.

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

Sufism is conceptualized as a spiritual discipline oriented toward moral and spiritual refinement, and its integration into human resource management is underutilized. This article examines the concept of Sufism-based management implemented at the Faculty of Tarbiyya and Teacher Training at UIN Prof. K.H. Saifuddin Zuhri Purwokerto. The faculty applies Sufi-oriented management to cultivate inner transformation and enhance employee performance in the current business context of Industry 4.0. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis involving 12 key informants. The analysis guided by Smith’s model revealed that Sufi-trained business leaders demonstrate more astute organizational behavior, greater innovativeness, and stronger commitment to addressing institutional challenges. The study found that Sufism-based management elevates institutional service quality across internal, external, and transcendental dimensions, aligning organizational practices with spiritual refinement and collective well-being. Contribution: This study contributes to the literature on Sufism-based management by providing practical implementations of takhallī, taḥallī, and tajallī in business management.

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.

Abstract

Parents of children with cancer face various problems, including emotional, spiritual, and practical challenges that often require them to develop resilient coping behaviours. This article examines how the internalization of tadabbur fiṭra affects and helps parents' coping strategies at YKAKI (Yayasan Kasih Anak Kanker Indonesia). Using a qualitative approach, including in-depth interviews and participant observation, this study found that internalizing tadabbur fiṭra helps parents reconnect with their innate trust in God (tawakkal), gratitude (shukr), and acceptance (riḍā), thereby fostering deeper spiritual strength and emotional stability. These findings highlight the transformative potential of integrating spiritual practices into psychosocial interventions for parents in similar contexts. Coping behaviours based on internalizing tadabbur fiṭra can enhance parents' well-being and their capacity to support their children during 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.
