Abstract

Urban society is significantly shaped by modernization, with modernity and globalization influencing all facets of culture, religion, politics, and law. These shifts pose challenges for traditional Sufi orders, particularly in adapting to technological advances, social changes, and evolving economic-political landscapes. Sufi order Naqshabandi Haqqani exemplifies a sufi order that effectively responds to modernity through inclusive preaching methods, digital engagement, and social adaptability, while preserving its spiritual essence. This qualitative field research explores how the order adapts to digital technology, approaches social transformation, and maintains relevance in a globalized world. Findings reveal three key aspects: First, the order has expanded significantly in urban areas, attracting followers from various social backgrounds, including elites and bureaucrats. Second, it employs adaptive strategies by embracing innovation and using digital platforms to reach wider and younger audiences. Third, the order adopts a flexible and “easy-going” approach to some Sufi practices, minimizing esoteric and intense philosophical elements that might deter new adherents. This approach reflects a phenomenon of continuity and change, wherein core spiritual teachings are preserved while their presentation and practice evolve to meet contemporary societal needs. As a result, the order remains accessible, relevant, and spiritually meaningful within a modern, digitalized context.

Abstract

This study explores community perspectives on Sufi orders, focusing on the al-Shādziliyyah Order of Pondok Pesulukan Thoriqot Agung (PETA) in Tulungagung, East Java. The rapid growth of Sufi movements in Indonesia has given rise to various religious expressions, including strong emotional ties and loyalty to spiritual leaders (mūrshid). In this Order, the emergence of cult-like behavior has raised concerns about the limits of religious reverence and its alignment with Islamic teachings. Using a qualitative approach, this research examines the extent and nature of such behavior and whether it departs from Qur’anic and Hadith principles or remains within accepted Sufi piety. Georg Simmel’s theory of social interaction is employed to analyze how social bonding and charismatic authority contribute to excessive veneration. Data were collected through fieldwork, semi-structured interviews, and literature review. The findings show a range of attitudes among followers, from sincere devotion to problematic loyalty, particularly the belief in the mūrshid’s spiritual infallibility. These patterns are reinforced through ritual practices, group dynamics, and the leader’s perceived charisma. This study contributes to the discourse on contemporary Sufism in Indonesia by highlighting the sociological mechanisms that shape religious authority and group cohesion. It calls for critical reflection within Sufi Order communities to maintain a balance between spiritual guidance and theological boundaries.

Abstract

The ideas of Sufism actually do not recognize the identity of its followers, male or female. Women in Sufism have an important position so that their ideas need to be explored. One of the efforts to find the ideas of female Sufis is through Sufi hagiographic texts (ṭabaqāt). This research discusses the formation of the authority of female Sufis based on their ideas through one of the classic Sufi hagiographic texts by as-Sulamī. This type of research is qualitative, based on document research, and uses the analytical-descriptive method. The primary source is a female Sufi hagiography text by as-Sulamī entitled Żikr an-Niswah al-Muta'abbidāt as-Ṣūfiyyāt. Secondary sources are other classical Sufi hagiography texts such as those by al-Iṣfahānī, al-Harawī, al-Qusyairī, al-Hujwīrī, al-Jāmī, Ibn al-Jauzī, and 'Aṭṭār, as a well as supporting authoritative books and articles. The findings of this study show that, in addition to recognizing the existence of female Sufis, as-Sulamī managed to record their various statements that are full of Sufism ideas and this showed their authority in this tradition. The author collects their Sufism ideas in two main ideas; Tazkiyyah an-Nafs and Sufistic Ethics. The idea of Tazkiyyah an-Nafs is contained in their narratives which envision that humans can establish a positive relationship between themselves and their God. Meanwhile, the idea of Sufistic Ethics is contained in their narratives which discourse that the positive relationship between humans and their God, must form a similar thing between themselves and His creatures.

Abstract

This study examines the theological and social perception of Nigerian Sūfis (mystics) regarding the claims of Syeikh Nyass's reincarnation and its significance or otherwise for Sūfi practice. It uses a conceptual tool known as the Myth and Reality Framework developed by Karl Popper to distinguish between theological realities and mystical beliefs. The study adopts a Qualitative research method by employing both primary and secondary sources of data collection, ranging from interviews, review of published Scholarly works, and Sūfi literature, to investigate the basis of reincarnation within the Sūfi tradition and how Nigerian Sūfis responded to the claim of its actualization vis-à-vis Syeikh Nyass. The study found that Syeikh Nyass has been one of the most influential Sūfi figures whose influence spread across West Africa, particularly Nigeria. Nevertheless, Nigerian Sūfis remarkably divided regarding Nyass’s alleged reincarnation; while some adherents affirm its occurrence claiming that the spiritual power of Syeikh Nyass continues even after his death through his chosen followers, enabling them to perceive his physical presence, while others vehemently reject such possibility, arguing that it is against the tenets of Islam. The study concludes that Subsequent studies may examine the existence of this spiritual reincarnation across Sūfi Orders such as Qadiriyya, Naqsybandiyya, and Chisytiyya to compare their theological perception and socio-cultural implications.

Abstract

This study examines the evolving dynamics of Salafi preaching, focusing on how humor has been integrated into da’wah through social media platforms. Using netnography as a methodology, the research investigates the humorous style of Shaykh Assim al-Hakeem, whose global popularity exemplifies a shift from traditional, rigid Salafi approaches to more dynamic, engaging, and relatable methods. By analyzing content from platforms like Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook, the study highlights how humor facilitates broader audience engagement and fosters “mediated intimacy” with followers. This approach transcends sectarian boundaries, attracting both Muslim and non-Muslim audiences while reshaping public perceptions of Salafi identity. However, critiques persist, as some view this adaptation as masking the doctrinal rigidity and conservative underpinnings of Salafi ideology. The findings contribute to discussions on the intersection of digital media, religious authority, and identity in the contemporary Islamic world, emphasizing how Salafism negotiates the challenges and opportunities of the digital age to maintain relevance in diverse socio-political contexts.

Abstract

This study analyzes perspective of K.H. Ahmad Baha’udin Nursalim, known as Gus Baha’, on the Wahdatul Wujud teachings of Siti Jenar, focusing on the limitation of its dissemination to the general public. Gus Baha emphasizes that while the teachings are not fundamentally erroneous, they are highly susceptible to misinterpretation, potentially leading to religious deviations such as neglecting Sharia and fostering absolute truth claims that cause social division. Aligning with the Walisongo’s stance, he argues that advanced Sufi teachings should be studied only by intellectuals or those with sufficient spiritual capacity to prevent confusion. Using a qualitative descriptive method and literature review, the study collects data from Gus Baha’s sermons, writings, and historical analyses of Walisongo and Siti Jenar. The analysis explores the Wahdatul Wujud concept within Sufi thought and its relevance in Indonesian Islam. Findings reveal that Gus Baha’s moderate approach seeks to balance Sharia and spiritual essence, ensuring Sufism remains beneficial without compromising faith. Therefore, a correct understanding of Wahdatul Wujud can serve as a spiritual foundation for a harmonious and devout society without neglecting Islamic law.

Abstract

This article discusses the death traditions in the Islam Masade community in Sangihe, North Sulawesi, known as Piạ Susa. The study is based on the hybrid and syncretic religious practices of the community. The blending of Islamic elements, local beliefs, and Christianity has shaped the religious beliefs and traditions of Islam Masade into something unique and distinctive, including the Piạ Susa tradition. This research uses an ethnographic method to provide a clear depiction of the Piạ Susa tradition. The researchers engaged directly with the Islam Masade followers in Sangihe and relied on key figures within the community as research subjects. The study reveals that the Piạ Susa tradition is significantly influenced by Islamic teachings, mixed with various local elements, resulting in a hybrid tradition. From death announcements, funerals, prayers, to post-burial rituals, Islamic practices are infused with local nuances. In this perspective, Islam Masade can be seen as a localized expression of Islam in Sangihe or as a form of cultural dissemination from pure Islam. Besides serving as a tribute to the deceased, Piạ Susa also represents a sacred “life transition” process. Piạ Susa further serves as a means for the Islam Masade community to strengthen social solidarity, affirm identity, and maintain the existence of Islam Masade amidst dominant cultural influences.
