Abstract

Eschatology is one of the branches of philosophy that discusses human life after death. Meanwhile, visiting graves is not just about visiting someone's grave, but visiting graves is an activity of visiting the graves of relatives or pious people to pray for the deceased and taking lessons from them, and hoping for blessings from deceased who during their lifetime were pious people. This research discusses the dimensions of eschatology in visiting graves and the influence of eschatology on the spiritual values of the pilgrims. This research uses a qualitative field approach with data collection techniques in the form of interviews and participatory observations. The eschatology of visiting graves greatly influences the spiritual values of the pilgrims of the grave of Bhujuk Agung Bheleng, also known as Astah Abdul Karim in Pakondang Village, Rubaru Sumenep, both in terms of its influence on the values of faith, piety, and morality. This is marked by an increasing awareness of the temporality of life and the certainty of death. By remembering death, the pilgrims try as much as possible to increase their piety by multiplying good deeds and having noble character both toward Allah SWT, fellow humans, and other creatures.

Abstract

Sheikh Abdul Qadir al-Jailani is a great Sufi figure widely known in the Sunni Sufism tradition. His thoughts and teachings not only formed the map of classical Islamic spirituality, but also made important contributions to the construction of Sufism epistemology and the concept of guardian. This study discusses in depth how the epistemology of Sufism was developed by Sheikh Abdul Qadir al-Jailani, emphasizing the sources of spiritual knowledge such as kasyf, ilham, and ma'rifah, as well as how the concept of sainthood is interpreted as the highest realization of the human spiritual journey. Furthermore, this article also explores how his legacy of thought has implications for the development of Islamic thought in the modern era, particularly in responding to the crisis of spirituality and materialistic tendencies that are developing in the contemporary world. With a qualitative approach and hermeneutic analysis of the works of Sheikh Abdul Qadir al-Jailani such as Futuh al-Ghaib and al-Fath al-Rabbani, this paper shows that the epistemology of Sufism can be an alternative in building a more holistic, integrative, and transcendental scientific paradigm. Ultimately, Sheikh Abdul Qadir's thoughts are not only relevant as a spiritual legacy, but also as an offer of solutions for modern Islamic civilization which is seeking a balance between rationality and spirituality.

Abstract

This study explores the deconstruction of the concept of wali (saint) in Sufi tradition, focusing on its transformation from a purely spiritual notion into a multidimensional social and cultural construct. Using a qualitative-critical approach and discourse analysis, this research examines classical Sufi texts, contemporary scholarship, and social representations of wali in digital media. The findings reveal that in classical Sufism, wali is understood as a servant of God who achieves closeness through spiritual purification and divine love. However, when intertwined with local culture, the concept evolves into a mythologized and institutionalized figure embodying spiritual authority and social power. In modern contexts, the image of wali is further mediated through digital platforms, often resulting in sensationalized and commodified portrayals detached from authentic Sufi values. The study argues that deconstructing the wali discourse is essential to rediscover its ethical and spiritual essence while exposing ideological and cultural distortions. Ultimately, this research highlights that wali remains relevant as a moral and social guide, provided the concept is reinterpreted critically and contextually in light of contemporary religious and social realities

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of social Sufism in the practice of Islamic philanthropy during the colonial period in Indonesia. The background of this research lies in the socio-religious condition of Muslim communities under colonial rule, which continued to demonstrate solidarity, compassion, and independence through philanthropic practices rooted in Sufi spiritual values. The aim of this study is to understand how the teachings of social Sufism influenced Islamic philanthropic behavior oriented toward communal welfare. This research employs a qualitative approach using library research methods, with data collected from classical and modern literature relevant to social Sufism and Islamic philanthropy. The data were analyzed through content analysis to interpret the connection between Sufi teachings and philanthropic practices within the socio-historical context of colonialism. The findings reveal that values such as sincerity (ikhlas), asceticism (zuhd), contentment (qana’ah), trust in God (tawakkal), and perseverance (mujahadah) served as moral foundations for Islamic social movements through organizations such as Sarekat Islam, Muhammadiyah, Nahdlatul Ulama, and Al-Irsyad. These movements strengthened community solidarity and established various social, educational, and economic institutions that alleviated suffering under colonial oppression. In conclusion, social Sufism functioned as a spiritual force integrating personal piety with social action, significantly contributing to the development of Muslim social welfare during the colonial era

Abstract

The story of Prophet Nuh and his son in QS. Hūd [11]: 42–43 presents a profound depiction of parent-child relations within the context of differing faith. Beyond its historical dimension, this narrative serves as a spiritual reflection of how love, authority, and freedom of choice intersect within family education. This study aims to analyze the relationship between Prophet Nuh and his son from the perspective of Islamic psychology, to reveal educational values applicable to contemporary family settings. This research employs a qualitative-descriptive method using a thematic tafsir approach combined with Islamic psychological analysis, examining Qur’anic text and relevant literature. The findings indicate that the son's rejection was not merely an emotional conflict but a form of spiritual disobedience rooted in al-qalb al-mughlaq (a closed heart). In contrast, Nuh’s response reflects exemplary patience, trust in God (tawakkul), and rahmah-based education, prioritizing empathy and moral example over coercion. The study concludes that guidance (hidayah) cannot be forced, and that the primary role of parents in Islam is to lovingly convey the truth while entrusting the outcome to Allah SWT.

Abstract

This paper discusses the concept of the creation of women from a Sufi perspective as an effort to prevent gender-based violence. The focus of this study is the concept of the creation of women from a Sufi perspective to understand the role and function of women from the beginning of their creation as an effort to prevent violence against women. The research was conducted using qualitative methods. Data analysis was carried out by thoroughly analyzing Sufi literature that discusses the creation of women. The results of the study show that in Sufism, women were created from nafs wahidah, which is the same self as men. From nafs wahidah, they were then divided into two parts, male and female. Thus, Sufism views them as having the same roles, positions, and rights as caliphs on Earth, because Allah sees humans based on their piety, not their gender. They were created to complement and understand each other in order to achieve a complete life and harmonious relationships as preparation for carrying out their role as caliphs on Earth. As for the roles of men and women that cannot be interchanged, these are roles related to their biological conditions, such as childbirth and breastfeeding Keywords: Sufism Liberation, Female Creation, Gender Violence

Abstract

This study examines the role of psychospiritual foundations in the economic transformation of the laying-hen business unit at Pondok Pesantren Al-Kayyis, Sajira, Lebak, Banten, as a representation of the integration between spirituality and economic rationality in pesantren-based empowerment. Prior to participating in the business incubation program, the enterprise faced structural and technical constraints such as limited capital, high feed prices, dependence on factory products, simple facilities, and a small production scale. Through the incubation program, Al-Kayyis successfully doubled its production capacity, developed locally sourced alternative feed (a mixture of rice bran, moringa leaves, petai cina, and itigovera), diversified its market toward local communities and students’ guardians, and implemented a sharia-based profit-sharing system that strengthened transparency and justice. Ecological innovation—such as using geese as natural guardians—reflected the synergy between simple technology and local wisdom. Using a qualitative descriptive approach with a single-case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and field documentation. The findings reveal that the success of the economic transformation was driven not only by managerial and technical improvements but also by psychospiritual strength that infused every economic activity. The values of dzikr, patience, reliance on God (tawakal), gratitude, and ihsan functioned as psychological capital, nurturing work ethics, resilience, and spiritual awareness among students. The integration of spirituality, ethical production, and local innovation created a model of Sufistic economy—an economic system grounded in tasawuf that harmonizes productivity, sustainability, and blessing. The study contributes to the development of living Sufism and Islamic psychology by positioning spirituality as an alternative rationality in economic decision-making and a transformative source for pesantren-based economic empowerment.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the concept of psychosufism as an integrative approach that combines spiritual practices within the Sufi tradition with perspectives from modern psychology, and to examine its potential impact on mental health and psychological resilience. In recent decades, growing attention to mental health has encouraged the development of holistic approaches that address not only cognitive and behavioral dimensions but also the spiritual aspects of human experience. Psychosufism offers a conceptual framework that emphasizes spiritual practices such as dhikr (remembrance), tafakkur (contemplation), muhasabah (self-reflection), and tazkiyat al-nafs (purification of the soul) as pathways for enhancing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the development of meaningful life perspectives. This research employs a qualitative approach using a literature review and conceptual analysis of key sources in the fields of Sufism and psychology. The findings suggest that spiritual practices rooted in the Sufi tradition contribute to psychological well-being through several mechanisms, including the strengthening of self-control, effective stress management, the cultivation of gratitude, and the construction of positive life meaning. Furthermore, the spiritual values embedded in psychosufism demonstrate significant potential in enhancing individuals’ psychological resilience when facing stress, crises, and life challenges. In conclusion, psychosufism can be considered a complementary framework for the development of spiritually integrated mental health interventions. The integration of psychological and spiritual dimensions offers a promising direction for the advancement of more holistic therapeutic and counseling approaches, particularly in societies where religious and spiritual values play a central role. This study also highlights the need for further empirical research to examine the effectiveness of Sufi-based spiritual practices in promoting mental health and psychological resilience.
