Irfani, which has been developed and used in Sufism, is one of Islamic epistemologies well known in Islamic tradition in addition to bayani and burhani. Unlike bayani, which is based on scripture, and burhani, which is built on reason and logic, irfani builds on gnosis as its method of acquiring knowledge. The knowledge is transmitted directly from God and implanted in one’s heart without intermediary of logic and analysis. Such transmission occurs only through spiritual paces (maqâmât) and inner experience (hal). The irfani knowledge is classified into two categories: the unsaid and the said knowledge. The unsaid knowlege can only be exclusively understood by the person gaining it as extraordinary spiritual experience. Meanwhile, the said knowledge can be acquired through two ways: qiyas irfani and shattah. Unlike qiyas bayani that puts scripture as the origin and empirical experience as the branch, qiyas irfani places scripure as the branch of empirical spiritual experience

In the study of Islamic law, epistemology constitutes a fundamental aspect of the law upon which the legitimate concept of the law is based. Epistemology becomes the root of debates regarding the truth of legal reasoning among Muslims who often made a truth clam about their own superior episteme. This causes discrepancies amongst them. This dispute was what al-Sya‘rânî found in his time. As a famous jurist, he sought to resolve it and offered a new theory of law. He contends that the arguments underlying the debates about the epistemology of Islamic law flawed. He wants to demonstrate that the arguments do not fit into the tradition of Islamic thought. This study examines al-Sya‘rânî’s thought in the epistemology of Islamic law. It discusses four issues: the valid path to the knowledge about shari’a, kashf as a source of knowledge, the path to the kashf, and the position and relation of reason, tradition and intuition in Islamic law.

In any discourse of religion, the existence of God is central because God is the ultimate Being, from whom all creatures come to exist. However, religious perceptions of God have never been unified. In Islam, especially Sufis believe that God is present in all creatures because they are regarded to be the manifestation of God. This stance leads to a divinely-dominated view. This Sufi perception deviates from the maintream thought of Muslim who reject such a view since it reflects pantheism. As the view is common in Sufism, Ibn Arabi, one of the greates Sufi, holds the similar view and introduces a new concept of wahdat al-wujûd. This essay examines the conceptual framework of Ibn Arabi’s Sufi theology and reveals his epistemology. It begins by tracing Ibn Arabi’s socio-intellectual background. It then proceeds to explain his method and view of the union of existence and the concept of God.

A widely presumption holds that Sufism is a male domain. The claim may be not totally misleading since many references that exist up to the present support this assumption. A great number of stories and scholarly works are dominated and authored by male sufis. Almost none of female sufi left a crucial legacy in the field, except the stories of female sufi piety narrated by male sufi scholars. However, this study challenges this assumption, contending that female sufis have played roles since the beginning of Islam up to the medieval periods. The study attempts to describe such roles. It also sheds light on their role in sufi organization (tarekat) up to the present time in Indonesia. The discussion starts by elucidating female sufi figures throghout the history of sufism in Islam and then the discussion of female sufis in Indonesia follows.

Sufism is an esoteric dimension of Islam, which differs from the outer aspect of Islam known as shari’a. This view did not emerge at the early time because Sufism was not regarded as the inner manifestation of Islam, as it is so now. Rather, it was seen as Islam itself. Tarekat in its initial phase constituted associations of people who wanted to escape from a worldly life. However, this orientation shifted since the associations broadened their roles into socio-political life by engaging in revolts against colonialism as it occurred in Banten in 1888. This peasant revolt movement was not an independent move without a significant contribution from the sufi brotherhood since actors in the revolt were members of tarekat. According to Banten Residen, almost all of the employees in his office including police were the members of tarekat. One salient feature of the movement is concerned with the xenophobic spirit that rejected the presence of foreigners and advocated a holy war.

For Muslims, especially those who are interested in sufism, Naqsabandiya sufi order is of special interest due to its important position in society. This is also because the great influence that this sufi order has played in the Islamic world, especially in Indonesia, India, China and Middle East. In Indonesia, this sufi order has spread throughout the islands, including in South Celebes. One of the great teacher of this sufi order came from this region, namely Syaikh Yusuf al-Makassari. He was believed to be the first to introduce this sufi in Indonesia. This essay attempts to explain the method of essential teaching developed in this sufi order, as this is practiced by people in South Celebes. It also traces the sufi’s historical background and expounds the ways in which it influences people’s social life, including in the fields of worship and human relations.

This study explores the phenomena of studying local rituals in Islam, which often become a focus of scholarly research. The studies of local Islam often reveal the map and the sketch of the developed various local rituals of Islam such as tarekat, tahlil and slametan. Scholars and experts have attempted to research these phenomena and employed diverse approaches to explain them. Most of them used textual and contextual approaches. Others sought to use structural and functional approach. Their study help explain the pattern and the attitude of Islamic rituals among certain people. One example pertains to the explanation of the most rural people, especially in Madura East Java regarding their practice of local Islam. One of the fundinds of such scholalrly research asserts that the poeple in the region conduct their rituals independently, without a medium of teachers and pupils.

Sufism is one of the branch of Islamic disciplines that grows significantly and becomes an inseperable subject of Islamic scholarship. Sufism is personal spiritual experience that emphasises more on feeling than logic. Therefore it is often named as a knowledge of taste (dwauq). Such emphasize on inner dimension of human faculties often creates tension between sufism and modern life which venerates materials, competition, intrigue, deception, greedy, and attachment of worldly life. The tension occurs mainly because sufism do stress on humble and modest life, escape from worldly life, all of which are relevant to traditional society rather than rational and modern ones. However, in contrast to such widely presumed tension, sufism remains urgent for modern life because it becomes spiritual injection for human matters related to modern life and helps resolve problems of materialistically secular, individual and hedonistic life.

Sufism in the eras of globalization and information often faces considerable challenges. The function and role of religion in modern life have in some aspects diminished, including sufism because it is claimed to have played no or less role in resolving problems nor stimulating social change. As one of Islamic traditions, sufism makes ihsan as its essential teaching. By this concept, sufism encourages humans to pray to God wholeheartedly. Sufism is now required to show its own existence and function by making fundamental contribution for modern life, an era which differ socio-culturally from the one when sufism firstly emerged. Sufism thus needs to adapt itself to the changes in the era of information and globalization so that it will remain relevant and suitable for human progress. Sufism needs to release itself from its exclusivism and to avoid being trapped in its own logic, namely speculative-trancendentalism

Understanding about religious splinter groups in Indonesian context is mainly identified through their theological difference from that of muslims majority. Their theological beliefs and practices are considered deviant from the majority’s “true” theology and practices. It at least can be concluded from the fatwa of MUI which then become formal reference to most muslims people in Indonesia. Though the fatwa face many critiques from some muslims groups, especially liberal muslims activists, but it remain assumed as truth by the majority of Indonesian muslims. There are many factors supporting the emergence of splinter groups in Indonesia. Beside the existence of some “advocates” such as liberal muslims activists and mass media, lack of law enforcement and the failure of religious leaders to educate their people to be more anticipative to the emergence of splinter groups. It is necessary to initiate open dialogues with followers of splinter groups, especially their leaders.
