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.
