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

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.

Abstract

Contemporary society is increasingly characterized by acceleration in communication, work, consumption, mobility, and digital interaction. Although technological development has expanded human possibilities, it has also intensified temporal pressure, fragmented attention, and the expectation of continuous productivity and availability. Slow living has emerged as a cultural response to this condition, emphasizing intentionality, simplicity, presence, meaningful relationships, and resistance to excessive speed. Yet much of the existing literature approaches slow living as a lifestyle, well-being strategy, or cultural critique without sufficiently exploring its theological and spiritual foundations. At the same time, contemporary scholarship on Sufism has demonstrated the continuing relevance of Islamic mystical traditions to questions of selfhood, well-being, ethics, and modernity, but has paid comparatively limited attention to acceleration as a defining feature of contemporary temporality. This article aims to develop a conceptual dialogue between slow living and Sufi spirituality by asking how classical Sufi concepts can provide a deeper spiritual framework for responding to accelerated modernity. The study employs qualitative library research and critical thematic analysis of scholarship on social acceleration, slow living, Islamic spirituality, contemporary Sufism, and selected classical Sufi concepts. The analysis identifies four interrelated dimensions of Sufi-based slow spirituality: spiritual presence through dhikr and muraqabah; ethical moderation through zuhd and qana'ah; self-regulation through muhasabah and mujahadah al-nafs; and intentional withdrawal through khalwah and 'uzlah. The findings suggest that Sufism does not merely prescribe a slower lifestyle. Rather, it transforms the individual's relationship with time, desire, attention, productivity, and worldly attachment. The article consequently proposes “Sufi-based slow spirituality” as a conceptual framework that moves beyond the secular reduction of slow living to lifestyle management and reinterprets slowness as spiritual reorientation, ethical discipline, and conscious presence before God.
