THE REASONABLE EXPLANATION OF ANNIHILATION (FANĀ) IN MYSTICISM
Get PDFMystics are passing through stages (degrees of mystic perfection) and esoteric abodes (spiritual stations) in their spiritual journey to Allah which is difficult for unmystics to understand. Because of this, most of the reflective people are trying to rely on their intellectual and theoretical principles to obtain an understandable explanation of mystical experiences and ecstasy. However the success of such explanation completely lies in the power and strength of the above mentioned principles. (Fanā) or annihilation is one of the mystical stages or states which unmystics find very difficult to reasonably understand, hence various and different theories have been provided for its explanation. Various scientific and philosophical achievements are appropriate explanations of annihilation (fanā) which is valuable in its place; however effort had been made in this article to prove that the only successful explanation is an explanation based on the principles of transcendental theosophy and theoretical mysticis
MISTISISME DAN HAL-HAL TAK TERCAKAPKAN: MENIMBANG EPISTEMOLOGI HUDHŪRĪ
Get PDFIn general, this article intends to answer a fundamental question, whether a mystical experience can or cannot be expressed through language. If the answer is positive, what kind of language can ‘formulate’ an inner space of human experienceto penetrateinto the heart of the most real reality? What kind of consciousness can “bring” the light of God to the ‘empirical’ world Then how to formulate a mystical consciousness in expressing spiritual experience that is “subjective” and therefore, has limitations? How, in fact, the status of “non-subjective phenomenal” consciousness in Islamic epistemology? The above questions, of course, are just a small ripple for those who seek to dive into the depth of “Mystical Ocean without shore”. To give an answer, this article then presents two contemporary philosophers from the genre of analytic philosophy, but from a diff erent background from that of tradition: Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) and Mehdi Ha’iri Yazdi (1923 to 1999). This article appears to be a “resistance” epistemic: to show the fragile philosophical structure of positivism to capture the invisible ‘realities’. This last genre of philosophy, which is concerned mostly with thereliability of facts, the necessity correspondence between the facts and language, and glorifi es the verifi cation principles, has experienced “stutters” in every endeavor to reveal the world of meaning. h is article, also seeks reveal the way to the world of “experience” and does not stop at the world of knowledge. By adopting the approach of Analytic Philosophy, this article shows the folds of meaning and reality: empirical, meta-empirical, existential, and spiritual. For the author, the all layers of reality can only be revealed through a mysticalexperience, a presential knowledge (al-’ilm al-hudhūrī) in a perfect ontological stat
HERMENEUTIKA HUMANISTIK NASR HAMID ABU ZAYD: AL-QUR’AN SEBAGAI WACANA
Get PDFThis paper informs Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd ideas on Humanistic Hermeneutics, where it tries to put the Qur'an as a discourse, in a way of describing its hermenetical thought development context. Hermeneutical task formulation is an extension of the previous task that is still being in the spirit of reconstruction of a new reading of religious texts. Al-Qur'an as discourse claimed as an attempt upon an extension way of reading with the whole spirit of construction over again. This Heremeneutical task is potentially burden the establishment, and controversial but it is certain
PEMERINTAHAN ILAHI ATAS KERAJAAN MANUSIA: Psikologi Ibn ‘Arabi tentang Roh
Get PDFThis article is an attempt to explore especially the position and function of spirit (al-rūh) in human being. Ibn ‘Arabi describes analogically human being as a “human kingdom” (al-mamlakah al-insaniyyah). Spirit is the king of the kingdom, the highest leader which is called the “vicegerent of God” (khalīfatu‘Llah) or shortly the “vicegerent” (khalīfah). This writing presents Ibn ‘Arabi’s view on the divine design and management of the world, and the central role the human model plays in the creative and governing process. The only way to reach the human perfection is divine governance (al-tadbīrat al-ilahiyyah) of the human kingdom in which the spirit governs and controls the soul and body. This Sufi uses metaphors from worldly politics to illuminate details of the spiritual search
The Universal Degrees (Marâtib), Manifestations (Mazâhir) and Divine Presences (Hadharât) of The Existence in Ibn Arabi’s School of Mysticism
Get PDFOne of the most elemental discussions in ‘irfân nadzâri (theoretical mysticism), in the section where its adherents discuss ontology, is the debate surrounding the degrees of God’s manifestation. The reason for this is that in the mystic’s view real existence, or the reality of existence, is the existence of the Truth (i.e. God) who manifests Himself in the degrees and mirrors that are the manifold creatures of the world
FENOMENOLOGI NIAT: Antara al-Ghazālī dan al-Sayūthī
Get PDFThe evolusionist and functionalist approaches to religion are generally considered less sympathetic if not antipathy to religious phenomena. This is why, some western scholars propose another approach to study religion called ‘phenomenological’ approach. There have been a number of phenomenological studies of religion, but mostly not of Islam. This article tries to fi ll in the gap by describing and analyzing the Islamic conception of intention (niyyah) developed by al-Sayūthī and al-Ghazālī. As a jurist, al-Sayūthī explores different formal rules on niyyah in Islamic jurisprudence, while al-Ghazālī as a Sufi , tries to deepen the meaning of niyyah in relation to one’s sincerity to God. Apart from this difference, both conceptions of niyya indicate that as believers, Muslims always attempt to live in the sacred space and time, and make their speech and deed sacred based on the niyyah. Thus, niyya is the very basis of Muslim religious life
Argumentasi Seputar Ineffability
Get PDFDalam kesempatan ini, penulis akan mencoba menganalisis beberapa argumentasi tentang tidak dapat diungkapkannya pengalaman mistis.

Teori ini pertamakali dikemukakan oleh William James. Kajian dan analisis atas argumentasi-argumentasi tersebut akan penulis mulai dengan terlebih dahulu membincangkan bagaimana James menganalisis gagasan tentang kualitas tidak terlukiskannya (ineffability) pengalaman mistis
