Abstract

In recent years, the transformative influence of Social Media on religious practices has been profound. A notable phenomenon is the emergence of Social Media accounts with millions of followers, offering guidance on prayers and daily deeds for specific intentions. This research will examine the phenomenon of seeking prayers on Social Media for instant and practical purposes using Jean Baudrillard's theory of Simulacra and Hyperreality. The aim of this research is to understand the impact of seeking and practicing prayers and religious acts on social media by exploring content related to that and the responses of followers to such content. This research is qualitative in nature, using a phenomenological approach. Data was collected from three influential TikTok accounts: Irfan Rizki, Meliza Arnelia, and Ajie Pangestu, known for their large following and engaging content on religious practices. The results show that there are two types of responses from netizens' comments regarding the prayers and deeds on the content: the first group reports success and positive outcomes after practicing certain prayers and religious acts; the second group responds by stating that they did not experience the expected changes even though they practiced as advised. The analysis concludes that the content of such practical prayers and deeds on social media operates in a similar purpose with advertisements containing hyperreal signs to attract audience attention. The group that successfully practices a certain prayer or religious act provides testimonials about their success, thus creating a perspective that these prayers and deeds are merely products that can be applied practically and have an immediate impact. The effect of this viewpoint is the emergence of instant spirituality, placing religion in a reciprocal relationship. Meanwhile, the group that fails to achieve instant effects from the prayers and rituals tends to consider the prayers useless. Key Words : Prayers, instants spirituality, hyperreality, simulacra, social mediaAbstrak: Kehadiran media sosial telah mengubah pola keberagamaan masyarakat dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Salah satu fenomena yang muncul adalah maraknya akun media sosial dengan jutaan follower yang menyajikan konten doa-doa dan amalan- amalan praktis untuk berbagai tujuan tertentu. Penelitian ini akan mengkaji fenomena pencarian doa-doa di media sosial untuk tujuan instan dan praktis dengan menggunakan teori Simulakra dan Hiperrealitas Jean Baudrillard. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dampak pencarian dan pengalaman doa-doa dan amalan-amalan praktis di media sosial dengan menelusuri isi konten yang terkait dengan doa-doa praktis dan respon para follower atas konten-konten tersebut. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi. Data penelitian dikumpulkan dari tiga akun media sosial TikTok yaitu Irfan Rizki, Meliza Arnelia, dan Ajie Pangestu. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat dua macam respon dari komentar- komentar netizen atas konten tersebut, yaitu: kelompok pertama, yang membuktikan keberhasilan dan kesuksesan setelah mengamalkan doa-doa tertentu; dan kedua, kelompok yang merespon dengan menceritakan tidak adanya perubahan yang diharapkan setelah mengamalkan doa-doa tersebut. Hasil analisis dari penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa konten doa-doa praktis di media sosial memiliki peran serupa iklan yang mengandung hiperrealitas penandaan untuk menarik perhatian audiens. Kelompok yang berhasil mengamalkan suatu doa atau amalan tertentu memberikan testimoni tentang keberhasilan mereka sehingga memunculkan suatu sudut pandang bahwa amalan-amalan dan doa-doa adalah seperti produk yang dapat diaplikasikan secara praktis dan langsung berdampak secara instan. Dampak dari pandangan tersebut adalah munculnya spiritualitas instan dan menempatkan agama sebagai hubungan timbal-balik. Sementara kelompok yang merasakan kegagalan dalam memperoleh dampak instan dari doa-doa dan amalan-amalan tersebut cenderung beranggapan bahwa doa itu tidak berguna. Kata Kunci : Doa, spiritualitas instan, hiperrealitas, simulakra, media sosial

Abstract

Abstract: Indonesian society remains entangled in "Mystical Logic" (Logika Mistika), as conceptualized by Tan Malaka, where natural phenomena and cognitive biases are frequently interpreted through supernatural lenses. This research aims to deconstruct the existence of visual ghosts (such as pocong and kuntilanak) through an integrative approach encompassing Islamic theology, neuroscience, and social critique. Employing a literature review method with theoretical triangulation, this study presents three primary findings. First, theologically, the human eye lacks the biological capacity to perceive the original form of Jinn (QS. Al-A'raf: 27), except through the mechanism of Tamatsul (material solidification) which is subject to the laws of physics. Modern ghost sightings, characterized by transparency, fail to meet this requirement. Second, scientifically, ghost sightings are illusions triggered by the mechanisms of Pareidolia, the Hyperactive Agency Detection Device (HADD), and environmental phenomena such as infrasound. Third, the inconsistency of ghostly forms, which are bound by geographical borders, proves that they are cultural constructions rather than objective realities. This study concludes that a firm demarcation is necessary between believing in the Unseen (Ghaib) entities (Jinn) and rejecting visual superstitions, in order to purify monotheism (Tawhid) and foster a scientific society free from mystical fatalism. Key Words : Ghaib, Mystical Logic, Pareidolia, Tamatsul, Tafsir Al-ManarMasyarakat Indonesia masih terjebak dalam Logika Mistika (Tan Malaka), di mana fenomena alam dan bias kognitif seringkali ditafsirkan secara supranatural. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendekonstruksi eksistensi hantu visual (seperti pocong dan kuntilanak) melalui pendekatan integratif: teologi Islam, neurosains, dan kritik sosial. Menggunakan metode studi pustaka dengan triangulasi teori, penelitian ini menghasilkan tiga temuan utama. Pertama, secara teologis, mata manusia tidak memiliki kapasitas biologis untuk melihat wujud asli Jin (QS. Al-A'raf: 27), kecuali melalui mekanisme Tamatsul (pemadatan materi) yang tunduk pada hukum fisika. Penampakan hantu modern yang transparan tidak memenuhi syarat ini. Kedua, secara saintifik, penampakan hantu merupakan ilusi yang dipicu oleh mekanisme Pareidolia, Hyperactive Agency Detection Device (HADD), dan fenomena lingkungan seperti infrasound. Ketiga, inkonsistensi wujud hantu yang terikat batas geografis membuktikan bahwa ia adalah konstruksi budaya, bukan realitas objektif. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan perlunya demarkasi tegas antara mengimani entitas Ghaib (Jin) dengan menolak takhayul visual, demi memurnikan tauhid dan membentuk masyarakat berbasis sains (Scientific Society) yang bebas dari fatalisme mistis. Kata Kunci : Ghaib, Logika Mistika, Pareidolia, Tamatsul, Tafsir Al-Manar

Abstract

Abstract: Zikr is a human practice in an effort to get closer to Allah Swt. Along with the times, this dhikr reading product develops dynamically according to the direction of each Mursyid. One of the dhikr that is studied is the awrad Kitab Dzikrul Ghofilin. This article aims to describe and identify the community's meaning of the recitation of Qur'anic verses contained in the awrad Kitab Dzikrul Ghofilin. This research uses a qualitative method with the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) theory approach initiated by Jonathan A. Smith. The results showed that the polarization of expression in the community was inseparable from the existence of the verses of the Holy Qur'an in the awrad of Kitab Dzikrul Ghofilin delivered by the scholars, such as: responsibility as motivation; ingenuity in broadcasting the awrad; a sense of tawadhu and simplicity; comfort, tranquility, and peace of heart: collaboration of taste; and finally the pleasure of Allah Swt. as hope. Furthermore, the impact felt by the practitioners of the awrad Kitab Dzikrul Ghofilin, namely activities feel lighter and less difficult, the arrival of unexpected sustenance, all affairs are facilitated, and more careful in their behavior. This research is expected to give birth to a number of new expressions in responding to traditions that develop in society and recommends that stakeholders always take care of traditions that have nuances of mysticism.Keywords: Al-Qur'an, Awrad Kitab Dzikrul Ghofilin, Phenomenology, Zikir Abstrak: Zikir merupakan pegangan amalan manusia dalam upaya mendekatkan diri kepada Allah Swt. Seiring perkembangan zaman, produk bacaan zikir ini berkembang secara dinamis sesuai arahan Mursyidnya masing-masing. Salah satu zikir yang dikaji ialah awrad Kitab Dzikrul Ghofilin. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan mengidentifikasi pemaknaan komunitas terhadap pembacaan ayat-ayat Al-Qur’an yang terdapat dalam awrad Kitab Dzikrul Ghofilin. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan teori Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) yang digagas oleh Jonatan A. Smith. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa polarisasi ekspresi pada komunitas tidak terlepas dari adanya fadilat-fadilat ayat suci Al-Qur’an pada awrad Kitab Dzikrul Ghofilin yang disampaikan oleh para ulama, seperti: tanggung jawab sebagai motivasi; kecerdikan dalam mensyiarkan awrad; rasa tawadhu dan kesederhanaan; kenyamanan, ketenangan, dan kedamaian hati: kolaborasi olah rasa; dan terakhir rida Allah Swt. sebagai harapan. Selanjutnya dampak yang dirasakan oleh pengamal awrad Kitab Dzikrul Ghofilin, yaitu aktivitas terasa lebih ringan dan tidak sulit, datangnya rezeki yang tidak terduga-duga, segala urusan dipermudah, dan lebih berhati-hati dalam bersikap. Penelitian ini diharapkan melahirkan sejumlah ekspresi-ekspresi baru dalam merespon tradisi yang berkembang di masyarakat dan merekomendasikan kepada stakeholder agar senantiasa merawat tradisi yang bernuansa aliran kebatinan.  Kata Kunci: Al-Qur’an, Awrad Kitab Dzikrul Ghofilin, Fenomenologi, Zikir

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the influence of the shaving ritual on the formation of the religious identity of the Malay community by referring to the text of the Hikayat Nabi Bercukur as the primary source. The shaving tradition in the Malay world not only functions as a social practice, but also contains spiritual values that strengthen the relationship between Islamic teachings and local customs. Using a quantitative-qualitative approach, this study tested several independent variables, namely exposure to the Hikayat Nabi Bercukur, the intensity of participation in the shaving ritual, and family norms and local traditions, against the dependent variable of the community's religious identity. The results show that the level of exposure to the Hikayat Nabi Bercukur and the intensity of involvement in the shaving ritual have a significant influence on the strengthening of individual and community religious identity. Meanwhile, family norms and cultural traditions play a role as reinforcing factors in maintaining the continuity of the practice amidst modernization and social change. These findings confirm that the shaving tradition is not merely a cultural heritage, but also a syncretic representation of Islamic values and the ethno-religious identity of the Malay community in the Indonesian archipelago. Key Words: The Story of the Prophet Shaving; Shaving tradition; Malay society; Religious identity; Cultural syncretism. Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh ritual bercukur terhadap pembentukan identitas keagamaan masyarakat Melayu dengan merujuk pada teks Hikayat Nabi Bercukur sebagai sumber utama. Tradisi bercukur di dunia Melayu tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai praktik sosial, tetapi juga mengandung nilai-nilai spiritual yang memperkuat hubungan antara ajaran Islam dan adat setempat. Melalui pendekatan kuantitatif-kualitatif, penelitian ini menguji beberapa variabel independen, yaitu paparan terhadap Hikayat Nabi Bercukur, intensitas partisipasi dalam ritual bercukur, dan norma keluarga serta tradisi lokal, terhadap variabel dependen berupa identitas keagamaan masyarakat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat paparan terhadap hikayat dan intensitas keterlibatan dalam ritual bercukur memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap penguatan identitas keagamaan individu dan komunitas. Sementara itu, norma keluarga dan tradisi kultural berperan sebagai faktor penguat dalam mempertahankan kontinuitas praktik tersebut di tengah modernisasi dan perubahan sosial. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa tradisi bercukur bukan sekadar warisan budaya, melainkan juga representasi sinkretik antara nilai-nilai Islam dan identitas etno-religius masyarakat Melayu di kepulauan Nusantara. Kata Kunci: Hikayat nabi bercukur; tradisi bercukur; Masyarakat Melayu; Identitas keagamaan; Sinkretisme budaya.

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to examine the philosophical response to the phenomenon of quarter life crisis among young people through Al-Farabi’s thoughts on true happiness (sa‘adah haqiqiyyah). The quarter life crisis is analyzed as an existential crisis rooted in the trap of illusory happiness (sa‘adah majaziyyah), namely the pursuit of material success and external validation, exacerbated by digital pressures. This qualitative research uses a literature study method and a conceptual philosophical analysis approach to Al-Farabi’s works. The results show that the concept of sa‘adah haqiqiyyah offers a comprehensive solution by guiding individuals back to the highest goal (al-ghayah al-quswa) through the perfection of reason and morals. This solution is realized through two paths: The Theoretical Path (Al-Fikr al-Nazari) to achieve intellectual tranquility (ittisal) that overcomes confusion of meaning; and The Practical Path (Al-Fikr al-‘Amali) which requires the practice of four moral virtues and active participation in a virtuous social life (Madinah al-Fadilah) to overcome paralysis of action and inauthenticity. Theoretically, this study adds to the scientific knowledge about the relationship between quarter life crisis and Islamic philosophy. Due to methodological limitations (non-empirical), it is recommended that further research conduct empirical testing of the effectiveness of this concept as an Islamic counseling intervention. Keywords: Quarter Life Crisis, Al-Farabi, Happiness, and Sa’adah Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji respons filosofis terhadap fenomena quarter life crisis pada generasi muda melalui pemikiran al-Farabi tentang kebahagiaan sejati (sa‘adah haqiqiyyah). Quarter life crisis dianalisis sebagai krisis eksistensial yang berakar pada keterjebakan pada kebahagiaan semu (sa‘adah majaziyyah) yaitu pengejaran kesuksesan material dan validasi eksternal yang diperburuk oleh tekanan digital. Penelitian kualitatif ini menggunakan metode studi kepustakaan dan pendekatan analisis konseptual-filosofis terhadap karya-karya Al-Farabi. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa konsep sa‘adah haqiqiyyah menawarkan solusi komprehensif dengan menuntun individu kembali pada tujuan tertinggi (al-ghayah al-quswa) melalui penyempurnaan akal dan moral. Solusi ini diwujudkan melalui dua jalan: Jalan Teoretis (Al-Fikr al-Nazari) untuk mencapai ketenangan intelektual (ittisal) yang mengatasi kebingungan makna; dan Jalan Praktis (Al-Fikr al-‘Amali) yang menuntut pengamalan empat kebajikan moral dan partisipasi aktif dalam kehidupan sosial berbudi (Madinah al-Fadilah) untuk mengatasi kelumpuhan aksi dan inauthenticity. Secara teoritis, penelitian ini menambah khazanah keilmuan tentang hubungan antara quarter life crisis dan filsafat Islam. Karena keterbatasan metodologis (non-empiris), direkomendasikan penelitian selanjutnya melakukan pengujian empiris terhadap efektivitas konsep ini sebagai intervensi konseling Islam. Kata Kunci : Quarter Life Crisis, Al-Farabi, Kebahagiaan, dan Sa’adah
