Abstract

Religious traditions in contemporary societies are increasingly shaped by reflexivity, individual choice, and engagement with secular rationalities. This article analyses Sufism as a form of Islamic spirituality that negotiates these conditions by offering alternative configurations of subjectivity and meaning. Through a critical reading of Sufi philosophical and ethical texts, the study argues that Sufi epistemology challenges modern rationalist frameworks by integrating intellectual reasoning with experiential knowledge (‘irfân). Practices such as ascetic discipline (zuhd) and spiritual self-examination are examined as techniques for cultivating reflexive subjectivities oriented toward transcendence rather than consumption. The article further explores how Sufi ethical virtues, including gratitude (syukur) and contentment (qanâ‘ah), address affective dissatisfaction characteristic of late-modern life. At the communal level, Sufi ideals of altruism (îtsâr) are shown to foster relational identities that counter excessive individualisation. The article concludes that Sufism represents a dynamic spiritual tradition whose resources remain salient for understanding contemporary religious subjectivities and the ongoing negotiation between spirituality and modern rationality.

Abstract

This article examines the concept of dynamic spirituality embedded in the hajj by exploring how pilgrimage practices extend beyond individual piety to shape forms of social engagement in rural Muslim communities in Indonesia. Drawing on qualitative fieldwork conducted in Lombok and Madura, this study employs participant observation and in-depth interviews, analyzed through anthropological and phenomenological approaches to the study of religion. The findings demonstrate that the hajj functions not merely as a transcendent act of worship but as a socially embedded ritual that generates communal meanings and relationships. First, the meaning of the hajj shifts from a purely sacred obligation toward a socio-cultural phenomenon that reorganizes social status and moral authority within local communities. Second, the ritual process undergoes festivalization, wherein local cultural expressions reinterpret and publicly celebrate the hajj, reinforcing collective identity. Third, the hajj serves as a form of social adhesive, fostering inter-group solidarity and mediating social relations across kinship, class, and communal boundaries. This study argues that the dynamic spirituality of the hajj reveals its dual role as both a devotional practice and a catalyst for social cohesion, contributing to broader discussions on lived Islam, ritual transformation, and religion’s role in sustaining social integration in contemporary rural societies.

Abstract

Al-Ghazali’s counseling framework offers a spiritually grounded alternative within contemporary Islamic psychotherapy. Despite its intellectual depth, empirical discussions of its effectiveness remain limited compared to dominant Western counseling models. This study seeks to synthesize recent scholarly evidence on the effectiveness of Al-Ghazali–based counseling in addressing various client concerns. Employing a systematic literature review guided by the PRISMA protocol, the study analyzed ten peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025 and indexed in Scopus. The findings indicate that this spiritually oriented approach demonstrates promising outcomes in reducing maladaptive thinking patterns, managing anger, preventing substance misuse, and supporting mental health recovery. Beyond symptom reduction, it fosters moral awareness and inner balance. The study concludes that Al-Ghazali’s counseling model holds significant therapeutic potential and warrants further development across diverse cultural and clinical contexts.

Abstract

In contemporary Indonesia, waria-a culturally specific category of gender nonconformity-continue to experience religious marginalization, often justified through rigid readings of Prophetic traditions on cross-dressing (takhannuts). Beyond juridical debate, this exclusion raises fundamental questions of human dignity and religious belonging. This article re-examines canonical hadîts narrations on the mukhannath using Jorge J. E. Gracia’s functional hermeneutics, drawing on reports in Shahîh al-Bukhârî and Shahîh alongside their classical commentaries. The study advances three arguments: first, gender ambiguity was recognized in early Islam as a lived social reality rather than a moral anomaly; second, the hadîts corpus distinguishes between innate disposition (min ashl al-khilqah) and deliberate imitation (tasyabbuh), directing censure toward intentional misconduct; and third, a functional hermeneutic reading reveals an ethical orientation toward mercy, proportionality, and the preservation of human dignity. These findings support a dignity-centered interpretive framework that affirms waria as legitimate worshippers (mushallî) and full moral subjects within the Muslim community.

Abstract

This study explores Kiai Sanuri’s leadership as an “academic kiai” at Pesantren Sholahuddin Surabaya, focusing on how his approach reshapes the cultural foundations of a traditional Islamic boarding school. Employing an ethnographic qualitative design, the research draws on in-depth interviews, participant observation, and institutional documents. The findings show that Kiai Sanuri has cultivated an integrative leadership model that brings together charismatic religious authority, participatory governance, and academically grounded management. Leadership practices are expressed through structured decision-making, strategic planning informed by evidence, and the deliberate integration of scientific literacy into everyday pesantren life. These efforts have strengthened organisational professionalism, expanded educational networks, enhanced academic standards, and repositioned santri as active contributors to knowledge. The study suggests that the “academic kiai” model offers a credible and contextually grounded framework for pesantren leadership in navigating contemporary educational and social change.

Abstract

The Living Hadîts interprets hadîts through the cultural and social practices alive in Indonesian society. This method offers contextual sensitivity and involves hermeneutical, anthropological, and phenomenological frameworks. However, this approach also raises epistemological and methodological concerns—particularly regarding the integrity of isnâd-matn authentication, the potential weakening of textual authority, and the risk of cultural syncretism inconsistent with Syarî‘ah. This study, using historical genealogical analysis and a literature review, evaluates whether the Living hadîts contributes to a valid understanding of the sunnah or deviates from the principles of hadîts science established by scholars. Therefore, the authors will examine how this approach is used and the challenges that arise when it is applied to the study of hadîts in Indonesia. It found that the Living Hadîts method fosters multiculturalism because the hadîts applied within society is influenced by the community’s diverse social and cultural contexts. As a result, the hadîts no longer refers to the application found in authoritative sources, such as the views of the Prophet’s companions or the statements of ‘ulamâ’ with authority in understanding hadîts. However, this study recommends integrating textual verification and methodological reflexivity into Hadith pedagogy in societal life to balance social relevance with normative Islamic scholarship.

Abstract

This article examines the sufistic thought of Sheikh Musthafa Husein Nasution and its significance for Islamic political development in North Sumatra. Existing studies on sufism often treat it as a personal spiritual tradition, leaving its role in shaping political ethics and leadership practices underexplored, particularly at the regional level. Employing a qualitative approach based on library research, historical analysis, and in-depth interviews with political and community leaders, this study analyzes how Nasution integrated sufistic values into leadership formation, governance practices, and political regeneration. The findings reveal that sufism in Nasution’s thought functions as an ethical infrastructure that underpins Islamic political development through moral leadership formation, disciplined political conduct, service-oriented leadership, and long-term cadreization. By grounding political authority in tazkiyah al-nafs, spiritual accountability, and public welfare (mashlahah), Nasution’s model challenges technocratic and transactional approaches to development. This study contributes to Islamic political studies by repositioning Sufism as a normative and analytical framework for value-based political development in plural Muslim societies.

Abstract

This study examines the growing significance of eco-Islamic spirituality in Australia, particularly in the post-pandemic context where environmental awareness and faith-based initiatives have gained renewed attention. The study addresses two main questions: How Sufi communities in Australia conceptualize and integrate spirituality with ecological awareness, and How they contribute to environmental protection policies and sustainability initiatives. Focusing on three Sufi orders-the Inayat Khan, the Nimatullahi, and the Ansari-this research employs qualitative field methods, including content analysis of teachings, community documents, and observations of spiritual-ecological practices, informed by Corbetta’s framework of social research. The findings indicate that these communities share a common spiritual framework for responding to ecological challenges. Their environmental engagement is grounded in Islamic ethical principles articulated by their leaders, including tauhîd (divine unity), khilâfah (stewardship), amânah (trustworthiness), mîzân (cosmic balance), Khidmah (service), and tazkiyah (spiritual transformation). These principles are translated into concrete practices such as eco-retreats, permaculture projects, waterconservation initiatives, and the use of renewable energy technologies, including solar panels. By linking spiritual teachings with practical ecological initiatives, Australian Sufi communities demonstrate how grassroots religious movements can contribute to environmental sustainability and support broader environmental governance agendas.

Abstract

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), despite their developmental limitations, remain spiritual subjects who can be introduced to religious life. This study investigates the nature of autistic children’s spiritual experiences, the significance of nurturing religiosity, and the strategies used to cultivate religious practices. Employing a phenomenological design, the research was conducted in North Sumatra with six informants: three autistic children and their parents. Data were collected through in-depth interviews. The findings reveal diverse patterns of religiosity: some children display difficulties grasping the abstract concept of God, while others develop heteronomous faith shaped largely by parental instruction and environmental exposure. Religious practices are typically performed through routine imitation rather than internalized theological comprehension. However, sustained parental guidance and supportive environments appear to foster more complex forms of religiosity. Importantly, religiosity functions not only as spiritual formation but also as a psychosocial resource that promotes self-regulation, emotional stability, and reduced anxiety. Effective strategies include habituation, modeling, repetition, and active engagement within supportive and inclusive communities.
DISPUTING THE NARRATIONS OF THE COMPANIONS: A Speech Acts Analysis of ‘Â’isyah RA’s Corrective Responses in Prophetic Hadîts Ubaidillah Ubaidillah; Elvusal Mammadov

Abstract

This article investigates ‘Â’isyah RA’s corrective interventions toward the narrations of other Companions within the corpus of Prophetic hadîts. While classical and contemporary scholarship has long acknowledged ‘Â’isyah’s role in correcting transmitted reports, existing studies have largely approached this phenomenon descriptively and have rarely examined the linguistic and pragmatic structure of her corrective discourse. Employing a qualitative pragmatic approach, this study analyzes a selected corpus of hadîts from Shahîh al-Bukhârî and Shahîh Muslim in which ‘Â’isyah RA explicitly disputes or clarifies reported narrations. The analysis draws on speech act theory as an analytical framework to identify patterns of corrective discourse, focusing on assertive, directive, and expressive acts and the linguistic markers through which they are realized, such as negation structures, evaluative verbs, and expressive formulas. Rather than treating these interventions solely as juridical or theological statements, the study interprets them as context-bound communicative acts within early hadîts transmission. The findings suggest that ‘آ’isyah’s corrective responses function as discursive mechanisms for negotiating epistemic authority at the level of narration, grounded in proximity to the Prophet and experiential knowledge. By integrating pragmatic speech act analysis with the conventions of hadîts scholarship, this study proposes a linguistic framework for examining corrective discourse in early hadîts transmission. It contributes to a more systematic understanding of how epistemic authority was negotiated within early narrational interaction.
