Abstract

Sufism is a teaching that can bring us closer to the one who is the most powerful of all nature, namely Allah SWT. And with this teaching, there must be different styles of thinking, not only in Arab countries, this also happens in Indonesia. This is because each Sufi gives rise to a particular sect according to the belifes and postulates of each Sufi. In this writing, the method used is library research by collecting data and then systematically analyzing and describing it. It was found that the spread of Sufism in Indonesia coincided with the entry and development of Islam in Indonesia, whether with the teachings of philosophical or moral sufism.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between prophethood (nubuwwah) and philosophy in the intellectual system of Al-Farabi through an epistemic mapping approach. This research employs a qualitative method based on library research, drawing primarily from Al-Farabi’s major works alongside relevant secondary sources. The findings reveal that Al-Farabi does not perceive revelation and reason as contradictory; rather, he situates them within a unified hierarchical epistemological framework. Prophethood represents the highest form of knowledge attained through intellectual emanation, while philosophy constitutes a rational path toward the same truth. Therefore, the relationship between the prophet and the philosopher is complementary rather than dichotomous. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the integration of knowledge in Islamic intellectual tradition and its relevance for contemporary Islamic epistemology.

Abstract

Fenomena trauma psikologis yang semakin meningkat di era modern menuntut pendekatan yang lebih holistik dan transendental dalam proses penyembuhannya. Studi ini mengeksplorasi konsep transformasi jiwa (tahawwul al-nafs) dalam pemikiran sufi Ibnu 'Arabi sebagai alternatif paradigma penyembuhan trauma yang tidak hanya bersifat klinis, tetapi juga spiritual. Ibnu 'Arabi memandang jiwa manusia sebagai entitas dinamis yang terus bergerak menuju kesempurnaan melalui proses penyucian, penyingkapan, dan penyatuan dengan Realitas Mutlak (al-Ḥaqq). Proses ini membuka ruang bagi reinterpretasi trauma sebagai bagian dari perjalanan jiwa menuju integrasi dan makna. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif-hermeneutik terhadap teks-teks utama Ibnu 'Arabi, artikel ini menguraikan bagaimana dimensi batin dari pengalaman traumatik dapat ditransformasikan menjadi momen pencerahan dan penguatan spiritual. Temuan studi ini menunjukkan bahwa integrasi pemahaman sufistik ke dalam terapi psikologis dapat memperluas horizon penyembuhan, khususnya bagi individu yang mengalami keterasingan eksistensial pasca trauma. Pendekatan Ibnu 'Arabi memberikan kontribusi signifikan bagi pengembangan model terapi yang menggabungkan dimensi spiritual, filosofis, dan psikologis secara integral.

Abstract

This article examines the therapeutic dimensions of the soul (nafs) in the thought of Al-Ghazali and explores its relevance for contemporary Islamic psychotherapy. Grounded primarily in al-Ghazali’s magnum opus Iḥyāʾ ʿUlūm al-Dīn, the study employs a qualitative textual and conceptual analysis to reconstruct his model of the human psyche and its mechanisms of healing. Al-Ghazali conceptualizes the human being as an integrated entity composed of the nafs, qalb, ʿaql, and rūḥ, where psychological disturbances arise from imbalances among these interrelated faculties. Unlike modern reductionist approaches that isolate mental disorders from spiritual conditions, al-Ghazali frames psychological illness as a manifestation of moral and spiritual disorientation, including diseases of the heart such as envy, arrogance, and excessive attachment to worldly desires. The study further demonstrates that al-Ghazali proposes a structured therapeutic process centered on tazkiyat al-nafs (purification of the soul), mujāhadah (self-discipline), and riyāḍah (spiritual training), supported by cognitive reorientation through maʿrifah (knowledge of God and the self). These elements collectively form a holistic psychotherapeutic system that integrates ethical refinement, cognitive transformation, and behavioral regulation. The findings suggest that al-Ghazali’s model anticipates key aspects of contemporary therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive restructuring and mindfulness, while maintaining a distinct theocentric orientation. This research contributes to the development of an Islamically integrated psychotherapy framework by offering a systematic reconstruction of al-Ghazali’s therapeutic psychology and highlighting its enduring relevance in addressing modern psychological challenges.

Abstract

This study explores the philosophical dimensions embedded within the Qur’an, focusing on three central domains: metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. While the Qur’an is primarily regarded as a revealed scripture, its discourse contains profound philosophical insights that have shaped the intellectual tradition of Islamic thought. Using a qualitative and analytical approach, this research examines key Qur’anic concepts related to the nature of reality (ontology), sources of knowledge, and moral frameworks. The findings demonstrate that the Qur’an presents a coherent philosophical worldview grounded in divine unity (tawḥīd), integrating metaphysical assertions with epistemological guidance and ethical imperatives. Furthermore, the study argues that Qur’anic philosophy is not abstract speculation but a lived and practical framework that bridges reason and revelation. This research contributes to contemporary discussions by highlighting the relevance of Qur’anic philosophy in addressing modern intellectual and ethical challenges.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the cognitive, social, and emotional landscapes in which children grow and develop. This paper examines the importance of nurturing psychological sensitivity in early childhood as a foundational strategy for preparing young minds to navigate the complexities of an AI-driven world. Psychological sensitivity, understood as the capacity for emotional awareness, empathy, adaptability, and reflective thinking, is increasingly essential in an era where human-machine interaction is pervasive. Using a qualitative and interdisciplinary approach, this study integrates insights from developmental psychology, education, and digital culture to propose a framework for cultivating psychological sensitivity in early childhood. The findings suggest that early emotional attunement, guided play, ethical digital exposure, and value-based education play critical roles in developing resilient and adaptive children. Furthermore, the study argues that psychological sensitivity functions as a protective factor against the potential dehumanizing effects of excessive AI reliance. This research contributes to contemporary educational discourse by offering a holistic model that bridges early childhood development with emerging technological challenges.

Abstract

This paper explores the concept of psychotherapy within the Qur’anic framework, emphasizing its therapeutic dimensions in addressing mental and spiritual well-being. The study argues that the Qur’an presents a holistic model of healing that integrates psychological, moral, and spiritual elements. Through a qualitative textual analysis of selected Qur’anic verses, this research identifies key therapeutic mechanisms such as remembrance (dhikr), reflection (tafakkur), reliance on God (tawakkul), and purification of the soul (tazkiyat al-nafs). The findings reveal that the Qur’an not only diagnoses psychological distress—such as anxiety, despair, and inner conflict—but also offers structured methods for healing. These methods operate on multiple levels, including cognitive restructuring, emotional regulation, and spiritual transformation. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that Qur’anic psychotherapy differs fundamentally from secular approaches by grounding mental health in a theocentric worldview. The Qur’an positions ultimate healing as a process of reconnecting the human soul with divine guidance. This study contributes to the growing field of Islamic psychology by providing a systematic framework for understanding Qur’anic approaches to mental health, offering both theoretical insights and practical implications for contemporary psychotherapy.

Abstract

This study examines the concept of metaphysics within the Islamic intellectual tradition through a comparative analysis of three major disciplines: philosophy, kalam (Islamic theology), and Sufism. Metaphysics, as the study of the nature of being and ultimate reality, holds a central position in Islamic thought but is approached differently across these traditions. Islamic philosophy tends to employ a rational approach, emphasizing the concept of wājib al-wujūd (Necessary Existent), kalam focuses on defending the doctrine of tawhid through theological argumentation, while Sufism emphasizes direct experiential knowledge of the Divine reality. Using qualitative methods and conceptual analysis, this study demonstrates that these three approaches are not contradictory but complementary, collectively contributing to a comprehensive understanding of Islamic metaphysics. The research enriches the discourse of Islamic philosophy by proposing an integrative model that connects reason, revelation, and spiritual experience.

Abstract

This article examines the philosophy of language in the thought of Al-Farabi through his work Kitāb al-Ḥurūf. The primary focus of this study is the analysis of the relationship between language (lughah), logic (manṭiq), and reality (wujūd) within Al-Farabi’s epistemological and metaphysical framework. This research employs a qualitative method based on library research with a descriptive-analytical approach. The findings reveal that Al-Farabi conceives language as a symbolic representation of reality that is understood through the instrument of logic. He emphasizes that linguistic terms are closely connected to universal concepts, which constitute the proper objects of the intellect. Kitāb al-Ḥurūf also demonstrates Al-Farabi’s effort to reconcile Arabic linguistic terminology with the Greek philosophical tradition, particularly in relation to the understanding of logical and ontological categories. This article concludes that Al-Farabi’s philosophy of language is fundamentally integrative, as it unifies linguistic, logical, and ontological dimensions within a systematic and coherent framework.

Abstract

This article examines the core ideas of Junaid al-Baghdadi as a central figure in the formation of classical Sunni Sufism. The main focus of this study is an analysis of the concepts of tawḥīd, fanāʾ–baqāʾ, ṣaḥw (spiritual awareness), and the integration between sharīʿah and ḥaqīqah. The research employs a qualitative method based on literature study with a descriptive-analytical approach to both classical sources and contemporary academic studies. The results indicate that Junaid al-Baghdadi developed a moderate and systematic model of Sufism, emphasizing a balance between the exoteric dimension (sharīʿah) and the esoteric dimension (ḥaqīqah). He rejected extreme forms of Sufism that disregard sharīʿah norms and emphasized the importance of rational control in mystical experiences. His concept of ṣaḥw serves as the foundation for a “conscious” and measured Sufism, in contrast to the ecstatic (sukr) model that tends to be expressive. This article concludes that Junaid al-Baghdadi’s thought makes a fundamental contribution to constructing an integrative and ethical Sunni Sufi paradigm that remains relevant within the context of contemporary Islamic spirituality.
