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 aims to describe the process and effectiveness of non-substance addiction counseling as a preventive measure against potential psychosocial disorders in the El-Jemblink Meisya Holiday Community. The method used is a qualitative case study with data collection techniques through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of several community members who show a tendency towards addictive behavior towards community activities, such as excessive smartphone use, time management, and emotional dependence on social recognition. The results of the study showed that the implementation of addiction counseling was able to increase self-awareness, emotional regulation, and more adaptive decision-making abilities in participants. This preventive effort also strengthens the function of the community as a healthy social development space, not just a place of psychological escape. This study recommends the need for integration of psychosocial assistance programs in hobby communities to prevent the development of non-substance addictive behavior

Abstract

Kertas kerja ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan biografi Syaikh Yusuf Makassari dan ajaran Tasawwufnya menerusi salah sebuah manuskrip risalah beliau yang bertajuk “al-Barakah al-Sailaniyyah”. Aspek menarik dari biografi beliau ialah sebagai ketua pejuang menentang penjajahan Belanda di Banten, Indonesia, sebagai Mufti dan penasihat agama di istana Sultan Banten, sehingga dibuang negeri ke Cylon atau Srilanka kemudian ke Cape Town, Africa Selatan dimana beliau menyebarkan agama Islam sehingga membentuk sebuah Masyarakat Islam. Isi manuskrip ini berkaitan dengan nama-nama zikir, cara berzikir, faedah berzikir, mukashafah, muraqabah dan kepentingan bertaubat serta berpegang teguh kepada ajaran agama Islam. Memandangkan manuskrip ini dalam Bahasa Arab seratus peratus maka penulis tidak menterjemahkannya seratus peratus sebaliknya hanya menerangkan beberapa aspek penting. Sekalipun manuskrip ini pendek tetapi cukup padat dalam bidang ilmu Tasawwuf sebagai panduan bagi mereka yang berminat dalam ilmu Tasawwuf.

Abstract

Artikel ini mengkaji secara analitis tujuh syubhat (kerancuan argumentatif) terkait konsep hudūth al-‘ālam (kebermulaan alam) dalam tradisi Ilmu Kalam. Perdebatan antara pandangan qidam al-‘ālam (keazalian alam) dan hudūth-nya merupakan salah satu diskursus sentral dalam teologi dan filsafat Islam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi struktur logika dari masing-masing syubhat, mengungkap asumsi filosofis yang mendasarinya, serta menganalisis metode bantahan yang dikembangkan oleh para mutakallimūn. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif berbasis studi kepustakaan dengan analisis konseptual dan logika argumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketujuh syubhat tersebut berpijak pada tiga asumsi utama: pemahaman temporalitas yang keliru, generalisasi kausalitas secara mutlak, dan reifikasi konsep imkan sebagai entitas eksternal. Sebaliknya, bantahan ilmu kalam menegaskan konsep taqaddum dzātī (prioritas esensial non-temporal) dan ikhtiyār ilāhī (kehendak bebas Tuhan) sebagai solusi konseptual. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa argumen hudūth al-‘ālam dalam ilmu kalam tidak hanya bersifat teologis, tetapi juga memiliki konsistensi filosofis dalam merespons problem ontologi, waktu, dan kausalitas.
