Core Subject :
JROH: Jurnal Obat Hati is a peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal that focuses on the integration of spirituality, emotional well-being, and socio-religious values, with a special emphasis on tasawuf (Islamic mysticism). The journal serves as an interdisciplinary platform for scholars, practitioners, and educators to explore the role of Sufism in addressing inner healing, moral development, and the cultivation of spiritual consciousness in contemporary society. Published biannually, JROH welcomes original research articles, conceptual papers, case studies, and literature reviews that delve into topics such as spiritual psychology, ethical behavior, self-purification (tazkiyat al-nafs), and the relevance of classical and modern Sufi teachings in promoting peace, resilience, and personal transformation. Contributions may come from various disciplines including religious studies, psychology, education, sociology, and cultural studies. By centering its discourse on tasawuf as a source of “medicine for the heart,” the journal seeks to illuminate pathways toward inner tranquility and spiritual maturity, especially in the face of modern emotional and moral challenges.

Abstract

Generation Z (Gen Z) faces unique psychospiritual challenges in the digital era, including technology addiction, spiritual disconnection, and mental health issues arising from social comparison on social media. This article examines the role of Islamic guidance and counseling in addressing these challenges through an integrative approach that combines Islamic principles with modern psychology. Using a qualitative literature review method, the study identifies three key solutions: (1) dhikr and gratitude therapy based on neuroscience (QS. Ar-Ra’d: 28), (2) the counselor-as- murabbi model, integrating tazkiyatun nafs with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques, and (3) an Islamic digital detox grounded in the concept of time (QS. Al-Asr). The findings suggest that integrating spiritual values (such as tawakkul and sabr) with psychological theories enhances intervention effectiveness, reducing anxiety and digital dependency. Practical implications include digital self-regulation workshops and adaptive online halaqah programs for Gen Z. This study underscores the urgency of a holistic approach that bridges the psychosocial and spiritual needs of Muslim youth.

Abstract

This study explores the intersection between Sufism and Arabic grammar by examining Nahw al-Qulub, a lesser-known work atributed to Imam al- Qushayri. While al-Qushayri is widely recognized for his seminal contributions to Sufi thought, particularly through his Risalah al- Qushayriyyah, this work demonstrates how mystical meanings can be embedded within the framework of traditional Arabic grammatical discourse (nahwu). Through a close textual analysis, the study reveals that Nahw al-Qulub reinterprets grammatical concepts with spiritual symbolism, illustrating a unique fusion of linguistic and metaphysical insights. Al-Qushairi covered several grammar issue named Aqsam al- kalam, Asma’ wa Isytiqaqiha, Mawani’ al-Sharaf, al-I’rab wa al-Bina’ and al- Badal, at five chapters in Nahw al-Qulub by which pointed three ideas from, first, makrifah, second Takhalli, Tajalli, Tahalli, and third, adab and akhlak, which is elaborated in sense of Arabic grammar. This research not only highlights the versatility of classical Islamic scholarship but also challenges the rigid boundaries between disciplines in pre-modern Islamic intellectual history. By uncovering Sufi elements in a seemingly technical genre, this paper contributes to broader discussions on the integration of spirituality in linguistic sciences within the Islamic tradition.

Abstract

This article explores the concept of Tazkiyatun Nafs (spiritual purification) as a remedy for digital stress caused by social media validation in the modern era. Drawing from Sufi teachings, it examines how platforms like Instagram and TikTok exacerbate psychological issues such as FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), envy (ḥasad), and addiction to external validation, aligning these with traditional spiritual ailments like riya (showing off) and ghurūr (self-deception). The study proposes a three-phase Sufi framework—takhalli (purification), tahalli (adornment), and tajalli (illumination)—to detoxify the psyche, emphasizing practices like dhikr (remembrance of God), muhasabah (self-reflection), and digital uzlah (seclusion). By integrating classical Sufi wisdom with contemporary psychology and neuroscience, the article highlights the efficacy of these methods in reducing cortisol levels and fostering inner peace. The findings underscore the relevance of spiritual discipline in mitigating the addictive nature of social media, offering a holistic approach to reclaiming self-awareness and tranquility in the digital age.

Abstract

This study examines the concept and practice of zuhud in the modern era from the perspectives of traditional and modern teungku dayah in Aceh Besar. In contemporary society, zuhud is often misunderstood as withdrawal from worldly life or rejection of material possessions. This research seeks to clarify such misconceptions by exploring how teungku dayah interpret and implement zuhud within changing social, economic, and cultural contexts. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with traditional and modern teungku dayah, participant observation in dayah environments, and analysis of relevant classical and contemporary Islamic texts. The data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns in the understanding and implementation of zuhud in daily life, leadership, and social relations. The findings reveal that both traditional and modern teungku dayah conceptualize zuhud as inner detachment rather than physical deprivation. Zuhud is understood as an ethical–spiritual orientation that regulates attachment to worldly possessions while encouraging social responsibility, moral discipline, and balanced engagement with modern life. Differences between the two groups appear mainly in emphasis and expression, particularly in responding to contemporary lifestyles and institutional demands, rather than in the core meaning of zuhud itself. This study contributes to the discourse on Islamic spirituality by demonstrating that zuhud remains relevant in the modern era as a flexible ethical framework. Rather than functioning as an ascetic doctrine, zuhud operates as a moral guide that enables religious actors to navigate material abundance, social change, and leadership responsibilities without compromising spiritual integrity

Abstract

In modern life, humans often experience tension between material needs and inner peace, resulting in emotional imbalance that manifests in extreme religious behavior and a loss of meaning in life. This article aims to examine the role of Sufism as a bridge between emotional balance and a moderate religious attitude. This study employs a qualitative approach based on library research, integrating Sufi and psychological thought with the concept of religious moderation within the context of Islamic studies. Core Sufi values such as tazkiyat al-nafs (self-purification), mahabbah (divine love), sabr (patience), and tasamuh (tolerance) are analyzed in relation to the formation of inner balance and compassionate religious behavior. The findings reveal that inner harmony cultivated through Sufi teachings serves as the foundation for authentic and just religious moderation. Therefore, Sufism functions as a form of spiritual therapy that connects personal tranquility with social harmony. The integration of emotional balance and moderate religiosity through Sufi spirituality constitutes an essential basis for strengthening a peaceful, inclusive, and humanistic religious life.

Abstract

Abū Zayd Aḥmad ibn Sahl al-Balkhī (235–322 AH/849–934 CE) developed a systematic account of fear (al-khawf) and panic (al-fazaʿ) in Chapter Six of Maṣāliḥ al-Abdān wa al-Anfus. This article examines his definitions, causal explanations, and treatment strategies and compares their therapeutic functions with selected constructs in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT). A textual-conceptual analysis was conducted using the Arabic primary text of Chapter Six, supplemented by an independent thematic reading of selected Qur’anic passages concerning fear and its regulation. Direct textual evidence shows that al-Balkhī distinguished panic as an intensification of fear, identified anticipatory threat appraisal and unfamiliarity as amplifiers of distress, and recommended cognitive reappraisal, learning from prior and observed experience, acquisition of knowledge, repeated sensory familiarisation, and riyāḍah al-nafs. These strategies have functional correspondences with decatastrophising, modelling, psychoeducation, exposure, and repeated skills practice, although they are not theoretically identical to modern CBT. The Qur’anic analysis further identifies normalisation of fear, meaning-oriented reappraisal, tawakkul, dhikr, and graded responsibility as faith-sensitive modifiers of clinical practice. The study concludes that al-Balkhī offers a historically significant therapeutic framework whose contemporary use requires textual precision, avoidance of anachronism, and a clear distinction between his explicit prescriptions and later Qur’anic integration.

Abstract

This study examines how Pesantren Al-Manar Aceh Besar operationalized Sufi ethics through Instagram during the 2025 Sumatra flood disaster response. Using netnographic methodology, we analyzed photo documentation, captions, and engagement metrics from @pesantrenalmanar and @laziswafalmanar during late November to mid-December 2025. Findings reveal systematic deployment of four Sufi ethical concepts: khidmah (selfless service) appeared in 100% of posts, while rahmah (compassion), amanah (trustworthiness), and ukhuwah (brotherhood) each appeared in 60%. These values were operationalized through visual narratives of aid distribution, formal team deployment, and collaboration with Pondok Sahabat Al-Qur'an Karim Jambi, mobilizing Rp30,345,000 in humanitarian assistance. Instagram functioned as a "digital mimbar" where moral pedagogy occurred through transparent financial reporting and spiritual framing of disaster as collective moral testing. This study proposes the concept of  "Sufi Digital Pedagogy" as a framework demonstrating how traditional Islamic boarding schools adapt spiritual traditions to contemporary crisis communication while maintaining theological authenticity. The findings offer actionable insights for faith-based institutions integrating spiritual values with professional disaster response, showing that digital platforms can amplify religious authenticity when ethical values are embedded in observable humanitarian action and public accountability.

Abstract

Indonesia's high disaster vulnerability demands educational approaches that strengthen long-term community resilience. However, disaster education in pesantren remains predominantly characterized by reactive, technical, and fear-based pedagogies that encourage compliance rather than sustainable ecological responsibility. This study reconstructs disaster education through Sufi environmental ethics by proposing a shift from narratives of divine punishment toward khalifah-centered ecological stewardship. Using a narrative review of peer-reviewed literature published between 2020 and 2025 and retrieved through Google Scholar, the study synthesizes theological concepts, pedagogical approaches, and implementation dynamics related to disaster education in Indonesian pesantren. The synthesis indicates that integrating Sufi environmental ethics—including tawhid, khalifah, mizan, mahabbah, and qana'ah—provides a coherent conceptual foundation for reconstructing disaster education through contemplative learning, experiential ecological engagement, and critical theological reflection. The proposed "Beyond Fear, Toward Khalifah" framework offers a pedagogical model that has the potential to strengthen intrinsic environmental responsibility, ecological stewardship, and community resilience beyond fear-driven compliance. Practically, the framework provides culturally grounded guidance for kyai, educators, and policymakers in developing disaster education that is adaptable to diverse pesantren contexts. Theoretically, this study contributes to the advancement of disaster education by integrating Sufi environmental ethics into a coherent pedagogical framework that supports spiritually grounded and culturally responsive disaster risk reduction.
Beyond Fatalism: Reinterpreting Disaster Through Sufism in Islamic Law and Education M. Ikhwan

Abstract

This article advances a Sufi-informed reinterpretation of disaster in Islamic thought, challenging dominant fatalistic narratives that frame crises as mere expressions of divine decree. While concepts such as balā’ (trial) and qaḍā’ wa qadar (predestination) have traditionally provided theological meaning, their reduction into passive fatalism risks undermining human agency, ethical responsibility, and transformative action. Drawing on the intellectual traditions of Al-Ghazali and Ibn Arabi, this study develops a qualitative-philosophical framework grounded in hermeneutic and critical textual analysis. The article argues that Sufism offers an alternative epistemology in which disaster is understood not as punishment but as a site of ethical-spiritual transformation (kashf), where inner awareness and moral responsibility are cultivated. This reinterpretation is further extended into Islamic legal theory through a reconfiguration of maqāṣid al-sharī‘a, shifting its orientation from preservation toward human transformation. In parallel, the study proposes a pedagogical shift in Islamic education from teaching about disaster to teaching through disaster, emphasizing spiritual resilience, reflective learning, and ethical engagement.

Abstract

Education in disaster contexts has predominantly emphasized physical safety, psychosocial recovery, and resilience, while the role of spirituality as a source of meaning-making and identity reconstruction remains underexplored. This conceptual paper addresses this gap by examining how spirituality can enrich educational responses to disasters through an interdisciplinary synthesis of literature from education, psychology, and disaster studies. Using an interpretive conceptual approach, the paper integrates key theoretical perspectives to develop a framework that explains the relationships among disaster experience, spiritual meaning-making, educational mediation, and identity reconstruction. The proposed framework conceptualizes recovery as a dynamic educational process in which spirituality functions not merely as a coping resource but as a foundation for reconstructing meaning, resilience, and personal identity following crisis. By positioning education as a mediating space that connects spiritual reflection with transformative learning, this paper contributes a conceptual model that expands existing approaches to disaster education and offers directions for future research and educational practice in post-disaster contexts.
