The study begins by exploring the historical context of Sufism in Indonesia, where it played a pivotal role in the dissemination of Islam but was later influenced by mystical, materialistic, and hedonistic elements. These influences often deviated from the foundational principles of Islam, necessitating a return to its purest form. The study adopts a descriptive and inductive research design, analyzing Hamka's seminal works. The research focuses on Hamka's critique of practices like saint veneration, excessive grave visitation, and misinterpretations of concepts like wa</em><em>ḥ</em><em>dah al-wuj</em><em>ū</em><em>d. Hamka's approach emphasizes taw</em><em>ḥ</em><em>īd (the Oneness of God) as a cornerstone of Sufi practice, advocating for a direct and immanent relationship with Allah without intermediaries. The findings reveal that Hamka redefined wealth and poverty in Sufism. Wealth, according to Hamka, is not inherently negative but should be seen as a trust from Allah, to be used for good deeds and social welfare. True poverty, on the other hand, lies in detachment from material possessions, even amidst abundance, reflecting the principle of zuhd (asceticism). Furthermore, Hamka's Modern Sufism rejects hedonistic tendencies by promoting self-control and prioritizing social engagement as essential aspects of a successful Sufi life. The study concludes that Hamka’s Modern Sufism bridges spirituality with societal needs, offering a dynamic and pragmatic framework for addressing the spiritual crises of modern society. His approach not only restores Sufism to its monotheistic roots but also ensures its relevance in contemporary contexts, balancing worldly and spiritual aspirations.</em></p> Muhammed Nur Kaplan, Arif Afandi Zarkasyi Copyright (c) 2024 Muhammed Nur Kaplan, Arif Afandi Zarkasyi http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/kalimah/article/view/12909 Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0700 Dialog Antar Umat Beragama Dalam Agama Katolik (Analisis Terhadap Pemikiran Franz Magnis Suseno) https://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/kalimah/article/view/12341 <p><em>This research aims to describe the concept of dialogue between religious communities based on culture. Franz Magnis Suseno, a Catholic theologian in Indonesia has unique thoughts about building dialogue between religious communities based on culture which has implications for strengthening religious identity and multiculturalism. In analyzing the problems above, this research uses a qualitative approach through literature study. The results of this research show that the theological and cultural-based concept of inter-religious dialogue built by Franz Magnis Suseno is motivated by the spirit of culturation which is divided into three concepts, namely the concept of inculturation dialogue, interiority dialogue, and integral dialogue. This research concludes that the concept of dialogue between religious communities based on theology and culture is relevant in building harmonious religious life in Indonesia.</em></p> Andika Andika, Abdul Halim, Zaki Mubarak Copyright (c) 2024 andika, Abdul Halim, Zaki Mubarak http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/kalimah/article/view/12341 Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0700 Transformasi Spiritual dalam Haul Wali: Perspektif Fenomenologi Alfred Schutz Pada Jemaah Abah Guru Sekumpul https://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/kalimah/article/view/12767 <p><em>The tradition of Haul KH. Muhammad Zaini Bin Abdul Ghani (Abah Guru Sekumpul) in Martapura, south Kalimantan is a phenomenon of contemporary religiousness in Indonesia. This haul tradition has attracted the attention of muslims from various religious, cities dan countries. Abah Guru Sekumpul is a charismatic figure that some muslims believe as a guardian, so that after his death, thousands of muslims attended his haul.

The secular modern-Western worldview, dominated by a scientific perspective, has brought progress. However, it has also had negative implications for other worldviews, particularly in the field of epistemology. This paper aims to discuss the urgency of epistemology and its relationship with behavior from the perspective of Fakhr al-Din al-Razi. Using a descriptive-analytical method, this study yields several important conclusions: first, epistemology devoid of religious values differs from epistemology built upon a religious foundation. Second, the religious epistemology developed by past scholars, such as al-Razi, not only brought progress but also simultaneously fostered peace. Third, progress rooted in religious epistemology implies a reciprocal relationship between behavior and its surrounding environment. The reality of this reciprocal relationship between behavior and a religious-based environment differs from what psychologists and their supporters have proposed. Al-Razi's religious epistemology significantly contributes to the development of comprehensive behavior, as it is derived from knowledge based on revelation</em><em>.</em></p> Jarman Arroisi, Aflatun Muchtar, Farhah, Firda Inayah Copyright (c) 2025 Jarman Arroisi, Aflatun Muchtar, Farhah, Firda Inayah http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/kalimah/article/view/12373 Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0700 Mabda’ al-Aslamah fī Fikr Abi al-’Alā al-Mawdūdī wa Taṭbīqātih fī al-Falsafah al-Siyāsiyyah https://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/kalimah/article/view/13630 <p><em>This research explores the concept of the "Islamization of Knowledge" proposed by Syed Naquib al-Attas and its applications in political philosophy as developed by Abul A'la Maududi. The main objective is to examine the integration of Islamic metaphysical principles with modern socio-political theories as an alternative to secular approaches. Through critical analysis of the works of al-Attas and Maududi, this study investigates how Islamic principles can reshape knowledge systems and political governance. The methods employed include textual analysis of the primary writings of these two scholars, comparative evaluation of their ideas with Western political theories, and an interpretative approach to Islamic metaphysical concepts such as tawhid, khilafah, and sharia. Maududi's political framework, rooted in Islamic teachings, is positioned as an application of al-Attas's broader vision of the Islamization of knowledge. The findings reveal a strong synergy between the metaphysical foundations of al-Attas’s philosophy and the practical political solutions proposed by Maududi. Both emphasize the centrality of divine sovereignty and reject secular and materialistic worldviews, advocating for a comprehensive Islamic governance system. This synergy underscores the significant potential of integrating Islamic metaphysics into the socio-political realm to address the limitations of Western ideologies. </em></p> Ahmad Farid Saifuddin, Asep Awaludin Copyright (c) 2025 Ahmad Farid Saifuddin, Asep Awaludin http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/kalimah/article/view/13630 Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0700
