Abstract

The origin of religion remains a central and contested issue in the philosophy of religion and modern theology (kâlâm), frequently drawing skepticism from materialist and atheist perspectives. This foundational question shapes the identity of religion and determines whether it is viewed as divinely revealed or as a construct of human imagination and psychological needs. Theistic scholars assert that religion originates from a divine source, revealed through Prophets for the moral and spiritual guidance of humanity. In contrast, materialists and atheists, including prominent figures such as Sigmund Freud (1856–1939), argue that religion emerges from human psychological complexes, instincts, and social conditioning, denying any transcendent origin. Freud, in particular, attributes the genesis of religion to repressed desires and unresolved familial tensions, especially within the context of totemism and the Oedipus complex, thus rejecting any metaphysical or divine foundation. This article employs a descriptive-argumentative method and an analytical approach to examine and critically assess Freud’s theory on the origin of religion. The study highlights several conceptual and methodological flaws in Freud’s view, including the inadequacy of instinctual explanations for religious consciousness, the problematic generalization of Christian-specific myths, the irrationality of totemic belief systems, and the ethnocentric limitations of his framework. Furthermore, Freud’s theory stands in direct contradiction to key Islamic theological principles rooted in reason (ʿaql) and inspired revelation (naql), particularly as conveyed through the Qur’an and Hadith. Ultimately, this critique underscores the incompatibility of Freud’s reductionist account with both Islamic epistemology and the innate disposition of human spirituality (fitrah).

Abstract

This article discusses KH. Muhammad Luthfi Ghozali’s thoughts on laduni science, that it can be gained by anyone who has valid reason. Generally, Muslim intellectuals such as al-Ghazâlî and Suhrawardî believe that laduni is given specially for saints. This is qualitative-library research since the primary data are from “Mencari Jati Diri Volume 2” book. Authors employed content and critical analysis. The study shows that Luthfi Ghozali’s laduni science epistemology is vague. First, his concept that laduni is laddunîyah rabbânîyah science which is primarily about legacy. Those who want the knowledge must establish a spiritual relationship in the form of tawas{s{ul. On the other hand, legacy should be given effortlessly. The second vagueness is on the knowledge journey theory. He stated, both ways (of gaining knowledge) begin from senses; while in his definition, laduni directly gets into one’s soul. The last is about the causes of acquisition. The second cause explained that piety is a result of riyâdhâh, mujâhadah, and dzikr-those three should be the real causes of laduni. The third cause, nubuwah and walâyah, is defined inconsistently. On one hand, it is meant for the prophets and saints. On the other hand, he defines it as closeness.

Abstract

The concept of al-haqq represents a foundational yet underexplored dimension in the philosophical discourse of Sufism. Despite its centrality, systematic elaborations on al-h{aqq remain limited within classical Sufi scholarship. This article examines the significant contribution of Ibn Barrajân, a prominent Andalusian Sufi thinker, to the development of the concept through his unique tawhîd paradigm. Adopting a systems approach, the study analyzes Ibn Barrajān’s metaphysical interpretation of al-haqq, revealing a comprehensive framework that integrates ontology (unity of reality), epistemology (unity of knowledge), and axiology (unity of purpose). This triadic structure forms the basis of Ibn Barrajân’s multidimensional and goal-oriented view of existence, rooted in divine unity. Al-haqq, in his thought, emerges as the ultimate ontological reality and the objective of all intellectual and spiritual endeavors. Epistemologically, the knowledge of al-haqq is pursued through contemplation of the manifestations of God’s Names within cosmic signs, facilitated by the spiritual practices of tafakkur (reflection), tadhakkur (remembrance), tadabbur (deep thinking), and iʿtibâr (consideration). Axiologically, this knowledge is not merely theoretical but is to be actualized through the embodiment of wisdom (hikmah) as practiced in the sunnah. The study highlights the urgent need to revisit and engage with Ibn Barrajân’s integrative metaphysical insights, which offer a holistic model for understanding reality and its divine purpose. By articulating al- haqq as both the ground and goal of knowledge, Ibn Barrajān’s thought contributes significantly to Sufi philosophy and invites deeper exploration of divine-centered epistemology in Islamic intellectual tradition.

Abstract

The rise of modern humanism, with its promise of elevating human dignity through anthropocentrism, has paradoxically contributed to deepening global humanitarian crises. In this context, Islam, as a theocentric (God-centered) worldview, faces the urgent challenge of demonstrating its relevance and adequacy in addressing contemporary human concerns. This article explores the tawḥidic worldview of Alî Sharîʿatî and his critical engagement with modern humanism. Utilizing a qualitative literature review and a descriptive-analytic method, the study examines Sharîʿatî’s primary texts to uncover how his understanding of tawḥid (divine unity) offers a compelling theological alternative to secular humanist paradigms. Sharîʿatî positions tawḥid not only as the central doctrine of Islam but also as a transformative worldview that restores human dignity by re-establishing the vertical relationship between the human and the Divine. In his view, monotheism liberates individuals from subjugation to worldly powers by instilling accountability to a single transcendent authority—God—thereby affirming both human freedom and responsibility. The study argues that Sharîʿatî’s critique of modern humanism— whether in its liberal, Marxist, or existentialist forms—exposes deep contradictions stemming from the philosophical marginalization of the metaphysical. By re-centering the divine in discourse on humanity, Sharîʿatî offers a vision of liberation rooted in spiritual ontology. This research contributes to contemporary Islamic thought and philosophical anthropology by demonstrating how Islamic theology can respond to and critique the failures of modern humanism, offering an ethically grounded framework for addressing today’s pressing humanitarian challenges.

Abstract

The following article examines the Naqshbandî Ḥaqqânî order as a spiritual oasis amidst urban life. This order has massively developed around the world, including in Indonesia through The Rumi Centre located in urban area. This ṭarîqa immerses followers in the philosophy of detachment from material possessions, which appeals to urban dwellers who live busy lives. The Naqshbandî Ḥaqqânî order's expansion is further supported by its simplified membership requirements and da’wah digitalization. This research using qualitative methods including participant observation, interviews, and literature studies to discover how The Rumi Center fulfills the spiritual needs of urban followers. The results show that this ṭarîqa successfully balances the lives of its followers through the daily practice of dzikr. Although the followers find solace and spiritual growth by detachment from material possessions, this philosophy may not resonate with every urban dweller. Their strong sufi tradition in their teachings do not resonate with all urban dwellers. The research's focus on urban areas imposes research’s limitations on those who are genuinely seeking alternative religious outside of mainstream religion. The emphasis on inner spirituality, dzikr practice, and end-of-day arrival teaching distinguish this ṭarîqa from mainstream urban religious practices.

Abstract

The article studies the metaphysical roots of prophethood from the perspective of perennial philosophy. The main problem discussed here is what is meant by “prophet as logos”. The discussion is around the principles of metaphysic which is typical of perennial philosophy. Employing library research included in qualitative methodology, the study delves into the key texts of perennial philosophers about prophethood. The primary data were taken and interpreted from the masterpieces of the renowned perennial philosophers: Frithjof Schuon, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, and William Stoddart. The secondary data were from relevant literature from books and articles. The study reveals that prophet is a reflection of the Absolute which is the seed of the universe (cosmological function), the saver (prophetic function), and the guide (initiative function) of humans. In Islam system, the “prophet as logos” is represented by Muhammad. Physically, he is just a man delegated by Allah, meanwhile spiritually, Muhammad is the “logos”.

Abstract

This article investigates the mystical dimension embedded within the traditional Javanese performance art of Sintren, revealing its function as a medium for spiritual experience and transcendence. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study draws on Annemarie Schimmel’s theoretical framework on Islamic mysticism and incorporates in-depth analysis of Sintren performances, alongside field research involving practitioners, artists, and audience members. The research seeks to understand how Sintren facilitates spiritual engagement and mystical encounters within a cultural and performative context. Findings demonstrate that Sintren operates not merely as a ritual or cultural performance, but as a tangible expression of mysticism deeply rooted in Javanese spiritual consciousness. Through the interplay of music, dance, trance states, and symbolic language, Sintren creates a sacred space in which participants and observers alike experience a connection with the Divine. This mystical interaction transcends performative boundaries, offering both performers and audiences moments of transcendence and inner transformation. The study underscores how traditional art forms serve as vital vehicles for spiritual expression, embedding metaphysical themes within cultural practices. By highlighting the convergence of art and spirituality, this research contributes to broader discourses in religious studies, anthropology, and performance theory. It also underscores the urgent need to preserve and critically study cultural expressions like Sintren, which encapsulate rich, localized interpretations of the sacred. Ultimately, this research affirms that traditional art forms are not only aesthetic phenomena but also powerful conveyors of mystical experience and spiritual identity within indigenous cultural frameworks.

Abstract

This article examines the philosophy of Western pragmatism since pragmatism is considered to be a real threat to human civilisation. It happens because pragmatism, as a philosophy, makes empirical facts and usefulness as the basis of everything. Thus, it fosters a sceptical attitude towards everything, doing things based on certain benefits, and ignoring norms as well as religious values. This study is a literature study since it examines various sources (books and scientific articles) analysed with a socio-historical approach with Kalâm jadîd science as the basis. The study focuses on the critical analysis on the concepts of knowledge, truth, morals and religion of the philosophy of pragmatism. This study shows that the concept of the philosophy of pragmatism is extremely contrary to Islamic values and teachings. Firstly, pragmatism has its own concept of truth, where empiricism and coherence of ideas and reality determine the value of a truth. Secondly, knowledge will be considered relevant as a scientific discipline if it is able to have a direct impact on and value or benefits for human life. Thirdly, religion and morals are realised as actions done according to human will.
