Dr Zamhari focuses on three distinct groups in East Java who gather under the inspired religious leadership of a notable kyai to invoke the Divine Names in the remembrance of God (Dhikr Allah). Each of the groups is remarkably different yet they adhere to a common tradition that has deep historical roots. At present, these groups are the popular manifestation of a resurgent devotional Islam – an open, active, and engaging form of Sufi worship. Dr Zamhari’s study also provides remarkable insights into the working of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) at a grass-roots level. Each of the groups, which Dr Zamhari designates as Majlis Dhikr, has established itself under the broad umbrella of NU orthodoxy. Yet none of Majlis Dhikr has been given the formal recognition of mu’tabarah that NU has accorded tarekat such as Naqshabandiyah, Qadiriyah, Shattiriyah or Tijaniyah. Indeed the issue of recognition has arisen primarily in relation to just one of these groups, the S{alawa>t Wa>h{idiyat; the other two groups, the Istigha>that Ih{sa>niyyat and the Dhikr al-Gha>fili>n, are even less formally constituted.

  • Understanding the Concept of Islamic Sufism
    Journal of Education & Social Policy Vol. 1 No. 1; June 2014 Understanding the Concept of Islamic Sufism Shahida Bilqies Research Scholar, Shah-i-Hamadan Institute of Islamic Studies University of Kashmir, Srinagar-190006 Jammu and Kashmir, India. Sufism, being the marrow of the bone or the inner dimension of the Islamic revelation, is the means par excellence whereby Tawhid is achieved. All Muslims believe in Unity as expressed in the most Universal sense possible by the Shahadah, la ilaha ill’Allah. The Sufi has realized the mysteries of Tawhid, who knows what this assertion means. It is only he who sees God everywhere.1 Sufism can also be explained from the perspective of the three basic religious attitudes mentioned in the Qur’an. These are the attitudes of Islam, Iman and Ihsan.There is a Hadith of the Prophet (saw) which describes the three attitudes separately as components of Din (religion), while several other traditions in the Kitab-ul-Iman of Sahih Bukhari discuss Islam and Iman as distinct attitudes varying in religious significance. These are also mentioned as having various degrees of intensity and varieties in themselves. The attitude of Islam, which has given its name to the Islamic religion, means Submission to the Will of Allah. This is the minimum qualification for being a Muslim. Technically, it implies an acceptance, even if only formal, of the teachings contained in the Qur’an and the Traditions of the Prophet (saw). Iman is a more advanced stage in the field of religion than Islam. It designates a further penetration into the heart of religion and a firm faith in its teachings.

To the young bride, both male or female scholars agree on him sit as a pillar or a condition in the marriage contract.

  • PENDIDIKAN HUMANISTIK DALAM PERSPEKTIF AL-QUR'an Ahmad Zain Sarnoto1, Mohammad Muhtadi2 Pascasarjana Institut PTIQ Jakarta In
    |Muhammad Muhtadi PENDIDIKAN HUMANISTIK DALAM PERSPEKTIF AL-QUR’AN Ahmad Zain Sarnoto1, Mohammad Muhtadi2 Pascasarjana Institut PTIQ Jakarta Institut PTIQ Jakarta [email protected] | [email protected] Abstract The concept of humanistic education in the Qur'an contains elements including: a) Human education physically and biologically; b) inner human education and psychology; c) social human education and d) spiritual education. Concepts in the perspective of al-Qur'an which become the foundation for a humanist education, including: the nature of human form, the potential of humanity, and the purpose of human creation. The humanization applied in the Qur'an does not leave the role of man on earth as its function and role as "imarah al-ardl," and as a servant who is obliged to serve the khalik as his function and role as "ibad." As for education with a paradigm the humanists contained in the Qurʻan are: First, putting back all educational activities (talab al- ilm) under the framework of religious work which aims to seek the pleasure of Allah. Second, there is a comparison between religious knowledge and general knowledge. Third, freedom in developing science. Fourth, reviewing grounded science so that it can be implemented in daily life and start trying to implement an integrative educational strategy. The activities of human life are based on the spiritual dimension so that they do not harm others. This thought emphasizes the development of human potential in order to be able to portray themselves as „abd Allah and the khalifah of Allah. This education is intended to help students actualize their potential to become independent and creative people who are aware of God's presence in themselves.
