Abstract

This article examines inclusive da‘wah models in the context of Muslim minority communities in Bali and Peniwen, Indonesia. In Bali, the Muslim minority community peacefully coexists with the Hindu majority community, which dominates local customs and morals. On the other hand, the Muslim minority community in Peniwen is situated in a Christian-majority environment that has a long history of inter-religious tensions. This study examines how da‘wah dynamics operate in specific contexts and analyzes the role of da‘wah in interfaith relations. Through a qualitative case study approach, this research collected data through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis involving religious leaders, da‘wah activists, and interfaith community members. The findings indicate that inclusive da‘wah based on dialogue, cooperation, and cultural sensitivity significantly contributes to strengthening social cohesion between the religious communities. In Bali, the value of ‘Islam as a mercy to the world’ contextualized with the principle of Tri Hita Karana has successfully built harmonious interfaith collaboration. In Peniwen, a participatory approach has fostered interfaith solidarity in response to social challenges. This study offers a transformative da‘wah model relevant to minority Muslim communities and makes concrete contributions to the formation of a just, peaceful, and mutually respectful multicultural society.

Abstract

This paper investigates the philosophical and mystical concept of ‘Ālam al-Mithāl (The Imaginal World) in Islamic thought as analternative framework for understanding religious experience. Despite the acknowledgement of its importance, contemporary discourse has yet to undertake a systematic philosophical inquiry into how ‘Ālam al-Mithāl, as a spiritual epistemology, provides rational grounds for affirming the objective reality and transformative capacity of religious experiences, surpassing interpretations that reduce such experiences to merely subjective or psychological interpretations. This research addresses this gap by analyzing how Mullā Ṣadrā’s ontological principle of Aṣālat al-wujūd (fundamentality of existence) and epistemological principle of Ittiḥād al-‘Āqil wa al-Ma‘qūl (union of the intellect and the intelligible) substantiate the objective reality of experiences within ‘Ālam al-Mithāl. The study further examines the essential role of ta’wīl (esoteric interpretation) in unveiling the deeper meanings of symbolic encounters in this realm. By integrating these philosophical principles, the paper demonstrates how ‘Ālam al-Mithāl offers a rigorous framework for validating religious experiences as genuine perceptual events within an objective, intermediate reality. This framework challenges reductionist modern paradigms and highlights the imaginal realm’s significance in self-realization and the acquisition of divine knowledge.

Abstract

The rise of mobile health technologies has created new pathways for enhancing psychological and spiritual well-being. This research examines how mHealth can be aligned with Islamic psychospiritual principles to offer a comprehensive approach to mental health. By integrating digital solutions with Islamic values, mHealth applications can provide tailored mental health support and enhance spiritual resilience. Yet, these new technologies present concerns such as ethical management, safeguarding data privacy, and the risk of trivializing spiritual practices. This study examines these issues while showcasing the potential of mHealth as a means to connect traditional healthcare with faith-centered methods. The research highlights the need for appropriate digital strategies that engage religious leaders, policymakers, and mental health experts. Further studies should aim to create genuine, trust-centric frameworks that support accessibility, inclusivity, and responsible application of technology. Effectively merging mHealth with Islamic psychospiritual principles can transform mental health support, promoting a balanced and meaningful sense of well-being within Muslim communities across the globe.

Abstract

This paper discusses the significance of zuhd and maḥabbah in addressing the spiritual desolation and moral decadence of modern society. It explores the Sufistic approach to dealing with soul sickness, manifested in rising levels of spiritual anxiety and moral degradation. Zuhd functions as an internal mechanism for curbing negative impulses and immoral behaviors, while maḥabbah offers a counterbalance to materialism and self-centeredness by fostering love for others and for God. This literature-based study critically examines the Sufistic concepts as part of a social discourse on the spiritual emptiness and its effects on modern society. The study finds that a stronger emphasis on zuhd and maḥabbah can bring existential peace through ascetic practices, moral guidance, and community engagement. Islam is a holistic religion and a way of life, which loses its positive role in Muslim society if it does not support physical, moral, and spiritual restoration. This concern is especially urgent in an age where moral inversions—where right is perceived as wrong and wrong is right—have become increasingly normalized.

Abstract

This article critically examines the role of the legendary king Ki Ageng Mangir, who challenged the supremacy of the Sultanate of Mataram in sixteenth-century Java. Through a historical and semiotic approach, this study highlights how Ki Ageng Mangir combined Sufistic values, local traditions, as well as Islamic, Hindu, and Buddhist elements in his resistance against the expansionist Mataram sultanate. The Sufi path functioned as an instrument of legitimacy and effective symbolic resistance to the homogenization of ideology and political control. Values such as patience, sincerity, and God-reliance were the moral values that formed the character of Ki Ageng Mangir’s model of resistance, in contrast to the centralistic model of Panembahan Senopati and the integrative model of Sunan Kalijaga. This study found that local spirituality can serve as a means of individual enlightenment as well as the foundation for collective identity and communal resistance. Resistance to power hegemony can be manifested through meaningful religious and cultural expressions, affirming the relevance of traditional spirituality as the basis for legitimacy, identity, and resistance.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the persistent tension between religion and science in Indonesia, as different perspectives have emerged on issues such as vaccination, restrictions on worship, and public health protocols. This moment of crisis underscores the broader epistemological gulf between religious belief and scientific reasoning, reigniting the debate about their respective roles in addressing existential and social challenges. Responding to this complex landscape, Haidar Bagir and Ulil Abshar Abdalla have articulated two conceptual frameworks of religious science and scientific religion that aim to redefine the relationship between religion and science. This article critically analyzes the arguments using John Haught’s taxonomy of conflict, contrast, contact, and confirmation. Haidar Bagir’s views emphasize respectful differentiation and dialogical engagement in the form of contrast and contact, while Ulil Abshar Abdalla envisions a more harmonious interaction that affirms mutual legitimacy in the form of confirmation. Both thinkers reject the absolutism of modern scientism and call for religious thought to be more responsive to scientific developments. This study highlights the urgency of fostering epistemological synergy so that religion and science can face the ethical and intellectual challenges of our time together.
From Practice to Metaphysics: The Evolution of Spiritual Stations in Ibn ‘Arabī’s Thought Aljahsh, Muhammad Ahmad Ibrahim

Abstract

Classical Sufi manuals present the spiritual stages achieved through disciplined Sufi practice. This article argues that the seventh/thirteenth-century mystic Muh}yī al-Dīn Ibn ‘Arabī reimagined the spiritual stations as ontological realities rather than behavioral achievements. Through a systematic reading of the twenty-second chapter of his Meccan Revelations in dialogue with his fellow Sufi gnostics, it shows that Ibn ʿArabī recast sequential progress into metaphysical loci of divine self-disclosure. The analysis identifies a triadic architecture of cosmic, spiritual, and ontological stations, where the stations function as a holographically interlinked field rather than a linear ladder. This reframing marks the transition from a “first mystical tradition” centered on ethical discipline to a “second mystical tradition” oriented by ontological insight. The conclusion sketches implications for Islamic metaphysics, including the Sadrian synthesis, and suggests how the Akbarian model offers transferable tools for comparative work on mystical experience across traditions.
