Abstract

This article seeks to analyze the concept of wujūd in Islamic philosophy, including the Peripatetic (al-Ḥikmat al-Mashā’iyyat) and Illuminationist (al-Ḥikmat al-Ishrāq) schools. The study employs a discourse analysis approach, using data collected from an analysis of Islamic philosophy literature with a focus on the concept of wujūd in these two schools. The findings of the study show that despite using the same term, the concept of external reality has different meanings in different schools of Islamic philosophy. The Peripatetic school interprets wujūd as the basis of reality, but its extension varies depending on the differences in māhiyat (essence). The Illuminationist school, on the other hand, interprets wujūd as an addition to external reality, as the fundamental element is māhiyat. One of the novel contributions of this study is to highlight the sensitivity of the concept of essence in Islamic ontology, as evidenced by the different meanings of wujūd in the two schools of Islamic philosophy. However, both schools agree that wujūd is manifested as a mental reality, a predication for māhiyat. In mental reality, the fundamental element is māhiyat.

Abstract

The websites of NU and Muhammadiyah effectively reconcile religious beliefs with the practicalities of government policies during the pandemic. These organizations have crafted legal frameworks that streamline religious rituals amidst COVID-19 restrictions and containment measures. This study explores how their discourse promotes a harmonious fusion of religious and state values, particularly within organizations known for their moderate approach to religious matters. Utilizing discursive practice and discourse analysis, the study reveals that both NU and Muhammadiyah establish pandemic-specific worship guidelines aligned with government policies. While NU's approach relies on classical Fiqh arguments, Muhammadiyah adopts a more pragmatic and progressive stance. Nevertheless, both organizations share the common goal of ensuring ease and accessibility for the public to practice their faith during these challenging times. This facilitation, grounded in sound reasoning, incorporates adaptations to state policies when selecting thematic approaches. This alignment highlights that NU and Muhammadiyah's moderation concept not only considers the applicability of religious texts to local circumstances but also supports government initiatives aimed at public welfare and addressing the COVID-19 crisis.

Abstract

Confronting the challenges posed by COVID-19 has given rise to a distinctive reality involving religious leaders acting as mediators, bridging the practices of devout followers with religious doctrines and government initiatives. This study explores the approaches adopted by religious leaders affiliated with the Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB) in Medan City to combat COVID-19. Employing a qualitative methodology with verstehen theory as the analytical framework, this research reveals that these leaders tackled the threats of COVID-19 by providing assistance and restructuring worship practices. Notably, their actions were guided by a commitment to community safety rather than strict adherence to religious doctrines. The prioritization of humanity over religious interests aligns with the government's efforts to address the pandemic. A noteworthy outcome is observed in communities previously marked by intolerance, as individuals, despite differing beliefs, unite in an everyday movement, fostering a culture of tolerance. Consequently, tolerance emerges as a humanitarian response catalyzed by the pandemic, underscoring its significance as a fundamental aspect of compassionate awareness during these challenging times.

Abstract

The intricate nature of contemporary human life has placed individuals in a paradoxical position, simultaneously serving as active agents shaping societal development and passive recipients of the outcomes of this evolution. The predominant emphasis on material and intellectual pursuits has, in some instances, resulted in the neglect of the soul as a bridge to the transcendent realm, often associated with the divine. Consequently, many modern individuals find themselves disconnected from their own existence and spiritual well-being. This research aims to address the real-world challenges faced by contemporary individuals by exploring the philosophical concepts of Ibn Sīnā and Suhrawadī, which hold significant relevance to the conditions of modern society. This study, utilizing a qualitative approach and a comparative synthesis analysis model, unveils a convergence in the conceptualization of the soul between Ibn Sīnā and Suhrawardī, particularly in their efforts to curb the influence of the animalistic soul (an-nafs al-hayāwanīyah). While their methodologies differ, reflecting their respective Aristotelian and illuminationist traditions, their shared objective remains unwavering. Ibn Sīnā emphasizes the rational soul (an-nafs al-naṭiqah) through acquired reason (al-'aql al-mustafad), striving to attain divine knowledge, a goal also pursued, albeit via a different path, by Suhrawardī through ascetic practices. The pursuit of maximal rationality and the adoption of ascetic practices offer modern individuals a potent means to combat the soul-crushing emptiness often associated with spiritual and existential crises.

Abstract

This study explored and analyzed fly wings from the perspectives of hadith and science. It used a qualitative, analytical descriptive approach and integrated Harald Motzki's Isnad Cum Matn analysis with pharmaceutical studies. The research question was: How do hadith and pharmacy view fly wings? The results showed that 21 hadith books mention fly wings, including Sahih Bukhari. The hadith of the fly wings is valid, with Utbah bin Muslim as the common link (disseminator of hadith). From the perspective of pharmaceutical science, most microorganisms on flies, such as germs, viruses, and microbes, can cause diseases. However, drowning flies can neutralize these microorganisms against the fluid they perceive. This shows that science is in harmony with the hadith of the Prophet.

Abstract

Addressing the issue of natural destruction from a religious perspective requires an additional dimension that focuses on solutions to the underlying causes of environmental degradation. Scholars contend that the degradation of nature stems from a spiritual crisis afflicting humanity. To address this challenge, this study employs a qualitative method with content analysis as its analytical tool to uncover a value system capable of revitalizing human spirituality within an ecocentric framework. The research reveals that eco-theology, eco-fiqh (fiqh al-bī’ah), and eco-sufism all share a common theme in exploring divine entities through the natural world. The equilibrium of nature emerges as the central element that enhances worship, servitude, and the embodiment of divine values, thereby enriching human spirituality. Consequently, the cultivation of human spirituality is achieved through the processes of utilization (al-intifā’), the abstraction of divine values (al-i'tibār), and conservation (al-iṣlāḥ). These three environmental ethics examine human behavior towards the universe and delve into the relationships among all living beings within this vast universe.

Abstract

The involvement of Sufi Ulama of Tarekat Qadariyah-Naqsabandiyah (TQN) Jagaraya in political contestation provides a distinct approach to introduce the presidential candidates they supported in the 2019 Indonesian presidential election. In contrast to the conventional guru-disciple attachment, the Sufi ulama adopt various strategies to modify the standpoint of their Tarekat member and align it with particular political tendencies. The intent of this study is to identify the strategies implemented by the Sufi ulama to collect support for their preferred political candidates within the Tarekat community. By utilizing a qualitative methodology, this study revealed various strategies used by those ulama in introducing political leaders, yet additionally taking the congregation's view regarding its process into consideration. Kiai Raga, with his traditional religious intellectual background, adopts traditional methods of gathering tarekat members who are interested in traditional tarekat rituals. Kiai Alam, on the other hand, embraces digital media to promote his political stance. These two varied methods by the two nationals Sufi Ulama display a dynamic combination of invention and adaptation, reflecting their diverse efforts to accommodate the political preferences of their respective tarekat members.
