Abstract

This article examines the dynamics of Islamic reform in Minangkabau through an analysis of the thought of Abdul Karim Amrullah, focusing on how he conceptualized the integration of theology, rationality, and scientific knowledge within his reformist project. While global scholarship on Islamic reform and the relationship between religion and science has largely focused on Middle Eastern thinkers, the intellectual contributions of Southeast Asian Muslim scholars remain relatively underexplored. Addressing this gap, the study investigates how Abdul Karim Amrullah articulated an epistemological framework that harmonizes revelation, reason, and science. The findings reveal that Abdul Karim Amrullah understood theology, rationality, and science as complementary rather than competing sources of knowledge. Grounded in the principle of tawḥīd, revelation functions as the ultimate normative authority, while reason operates as a divinely endowed faculty for interpreting both sacred texts and the natural world. Scientific inquiry, in this perspective, becomes a means of contemplating āyāt kawniyyah and strengthening religious consciousness. The study argues that Islamic reform in Minangkabau was not merely a movement of religious purification but also a project of epistemological reconstruction that sought to integrate theology, rational reasoning, and modern scientific knowledge. By situating Abdul Karim Amrullah’s thought within broader debates on Islam and science, the article highlights the contribution of Southeast Asian Islamic intellectual traditions to contemporary discussions on Islamic modernization.

Abstract

This article explores the dynamic role of religion in responding to contemporary human anxiety, particularly through a reflection on the interrelation between reason, language, and faith. In a modern context characterized by fragmentation of meaning and psychological stress, religion is often perceived as outdated or merely symbolic. This paper argues that the root of the problem lies not in religious teachings themselves, but in how they are understood, conveyed, and lived. Using a conceptual-qualitative and interdisciplinary approach that integrates linguistic studies, existential philosophy, and the psychology of religion, this study emphasizes the importance of religion as a space for dialogue and responsiveness rather than a system that silences questions. The article discusses three main subthemes: (1) the role of language as a medium of existential expression in religion; (2) the function of reason in interpreting dynamic faith; and (3) religion’s role as a responsive answer to human anxiety. The analysis of these subthemes suggests that mature religiosity promotes openness, spiritual freedom, and moral maturity. Thus, this article offers a framework for interpreting religion that is not only theologically relevant but also existentially and ethically impactful in daily life.

Abstract

The global ecological crisis cannot be adequately addressed solely through technological and economic solutions; it also requires the revival of spiritual awareness and environmental ethics. This article examines the concept of ecosufism in the Javanese mystical text Suluk Wujil, traditionally attributed to Sunan Bonang, by analyzing the depiction of the harmonious relationship between God, humans, and nature within the framework of Nusantara Islamic spirituality. This qualitative study employs a library research approach and is analyzed using Sufi hermeneutics and a Sufi cosmological perspective. The findings reveal that Suluk Wujil presents a cosmological framework integrating the metaphysical doctrine of waḥdat al-wujūd with Javanese cosmological concepts, particularly jagad ageng (macrocosm) and jagad alit (microcosm). This synthesis reflects a spiritual worldview in which nature is understood as a manifestation of divine presence rather than merely an object of exploitation. Furthermore, this study proposes the concept of “Ecosufistic Makrifat Epistemology,” suggesting that the attainment of makrifat involves not only inner spiritual transformation but also ecological awareness and ethical responsibility toward nature. Thus, Suluk Wujil offers a Nusantara ecosufism framework that provides a spiritual–ethical foundation for addressing contemporary ecological challenges.

Abstract

This article examines the historical transformation of zuhd (asceticism) into Sufism as a significant ethical and epistemological development in early Islamic spirituality. While previous studies have explored the origins of Sufism, relatively little attention has been given to how this transition reshaped the moral and intellectual formation of the religious subject. This study therefore investigates the emergence of what may be called the “Sufi self” through the gradual transformation of early Islamic ascetic practices. Using a historical–textual approach, the article analyzes the teachings of three influential figures in early Islamic piety: al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī, Rābiʿah al-ʿAdawiyyah, and al-Ḥārith al-Muḥāsibī. Their ethical and spiritual teachings illustrate the shift from an ascetic discipline grounded in fear of divine judgment toward a more interiorized spirituality centered on love, introspection, and self-knowledge. By situating these developments within the socio-historical context of early Abbasid society, the study shows how changing social conditions contributed to the interiorization of religious practice. The findings suggest that the emergence of the Sufi self represents not a rupture with early Islamic asceticism but its transformation into a reflective spiritual anthropology in which ethical vigilance becomes a form of epistemic self-awareness. This study contributes to the broader understanding of early Sufism by demonstrating how the ascetic ethos of zuhd evolved into a systematic discipline of inner knowledge and moral self-examination.
