Hukum Alam dan Sunnatullah: Upaya Rekonstruksi Pemahaman Teologis di Indonesia
No full textThis paper will provide a comprehensive understanding of the notion sunnatullāh and natural law, both in terms of science and the Qur’ān. Then it will also see the similarities and differences between the two. In this respect, the writer questions whether the sunnatullāh mentioned in the Qur’ān is similar to what meant by the laws of nature? Are the natural and all applicable laws inherently absolute and static?, and consequently they do not change gradually, and do not allow or support the development of science? Above questions need answers from the writers of theology, especially Indonesian, to discuss theology of nature in line with the discussion of nature itself which is done by scientists. So far there are indications these two terms have different purposes and meanings. This difference in the reformulation and reconstruction ultimately requires an understanding of theology, especially about the notion of natural law and sunnatullāh which has been the understanding of elementary students of theology and author in Indonesia
The Development of Islamic Spirituality in Indonesia
No full textThis writing describes the growth of Islamic spirituality in Indonesia and, in short, the position of Mysticism in Islamic teachings, with its objectives and its part in the current Islamic religious movements, as well its social, cultural, educational and political roles in Islamic society. It also views the challenge and its future in Indonesia. The progress achieved by sufi until now is considered, as well its weaknesses as its strengths, and comparing this with the situation outside the country, and assuming that in the case of Indonesia, such weaknesses and strengths might be relatively the same. Furthermore, the paper displays the example of one particular sufi order that still plays an important role in Indonesia, namely the Tarīqa Qādiriyya wa Naqshbandiyya in West Java. In addition, considering the current religious climate in the country, we may perhaps draw some conclusions as to prospects for sufi in Indonesia.
Kosmologi dalam Tinjauan Failasuf Islam
No full textOne of the many important matters that is referred in the Qur’ān is a matter of the universe. The verses of Qur’ān invite people to observe and reflect on the creation of the universe, because in it there are signs of God’s existence and power. Cosmology is the theory about the origin of the universe. In Islam, this theory is one of the essential issues that have deep theological concequences and implications to the tawhīd. In order to formulate the process of the universe creation, the perspective of the Muslims was sorting into two extreme groups: traditionalists and rationalists. In the Islamic philosophy, in terms of the creation, the cosmology of al-Fārābī and Ibn Sīnā was influenced by the emanation of Plotinus’ philosophy and in terms of the structure is based on the concept of a geocentric Ptolomeus. While al-Ghazālī’s cosmology (representative of the traditionalist) based on the principle of the absolute will of God which is absolute. This study wants to reveal about the cosmology in the Islamic philosophers perspective as one of the cosmological mainstream which is speculative and revives the school of Aristotle, but not contrary to the principles of al-Qur’ān
Modern Dynamic Engagement Between Sufism and Reiki Meditation
No full textoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/1004Historically and culturally speaking, since the late 1990’s, ‘modern’ Reiki and meditation techniques and practices have impacts on the Indonesian people. The globalization of Reiki on healing attunement that is generated from the Reiki’s meditation technique also has its influences in Islamic traditional wisdom. This Reiki global movement has apparently invoked the traditional syncretistic style of some Indonesian Muslim. In turn, this situation creates political tension between the radical and puritan Islam vis a vis the Muslim Reiki’s masters. Using comparative studies, this paper is based on the current phenomenon of Islam engaged with Reiki and attempts to explore the politics of Reiki as a global product and its relation to the responses within Indonesian Muslim, historically and sociologically, through which we can observe the dynamics dialogue in practice between Buddhism and Islamic Sufism
