Tasawuf
Sufism
is a science. Science sufism is a branch of science that we find in Islam, as
well as the science of faith, commonly called Tawheed, Fiqh and other sciences.
The purpose of science Sufism focuses on inner guidance. That is the teaching
of Sufism seeks to cleanse the mind / soul from the dirt and stains that hinder
relationship between the
vreator with a servant. Heart stains that such reprehensible
traits, such as envy, pride, envy, love worldly possessions excessive and
forget the responsibilities as a Muslim. Basically Sufism aims to establish the
practice of human perfection Muslims both outwardly and inwardly. The source of
Sufism is based on Al-Quran and As-Sunnah.
Sufism is a branch of Islam that emphasizes the
spiritual dimension or aspect of Islam. Spirituality can take diverse forms in
it. In human terms, Sufism emphasizes soul aspects than body aspects, in
relation to the life of the mortal world, while the relation with the
understanding, he emphasizes more than the interpretation of the interpretation
of the inner flesh.[1]
According toAl-Karkhi Ma'ruf(w.200 H), to takethe essenceof Sufismandcovetousofwhat is in
thehands ofthe creature. Meanwhile, according toAbuyazidal-Bustami
Sufismseenin three aspects, the
first aspectiskha, break awayfrom thereprehensiblebehavior. The
second aspectha, adornthemselves withadmirablecharacter, and

As for thosewho pursueandpractice the teachings ofSufismis calledSufis. Sufishave
feltthatthis is whatSufismis essentiallythe teachingsof Al-Quran
andAs-Sunnah, consequently, unable to stem thepassions thatonlyfaithand Islam. According
to them, the damagein this worldis causedby two things. First,
becausea servant(man) dissenterto God, butnotconsistentlydo
thecommandments of God. Do notfearthe threatsof God, so
thataround doingactualdeedsforbidden byAllahSWT. IbnKholduna

thetemptations of the world, asceticism(not crazy) to theluxuriesof

The trueteachings ofSufismisfocused
onthe formationandperfection ofthe innersoul, as well as practice doingsharia(bothobligatoryandthatcircumcision). Whysaidthe

If youare able to domentalexercises, thensomeone
couldsay to have reachedthe peakof Sufism.
Basicallyit
coversSufismandmysticismShari'asciences. Ifspecifiedthenwe can
knowthe following:
1.Sharia, Shariameansthe
linesthat have beendetermined orthe rules thatapply, orcan
also meanlaws thatmust be doneresponsibly. ShariaisIslamicsciencethat
describes theacts of worshipsuch asthe pillars of Islam, the laws of clean and unclean, thecircumcisionandtheindividual duty, whichmakruhandpermissible, the

the conclusionthatscienceisa science thatShariateachesways of
lifeforMuslims,beganin the mosque, in social life, politicsand
so on.
ThenShari'ascienceitself canbe
divided into twoparts.The firstis calledthe science ofShari'aTa'abbudiand the
secondis the science ofShari'aTa'aquli. Scienceta'abudiShari'aincludesdoctrines
ordogmasof Islam. The teachingsthat should never beofferedagainby
reasonand science.What has beendonethe ProphetMuhammad, then
that is whatwe must do.All thatwas left, thenthat is whatwe leave
behind. No need tothink anymoreortampered withby reason. Scienceta'aquliShari'aisto
teachsomething, while stillbetampered withby reason,considered
andadapted to thespecificknowledgeat the timeand place.With theShari'a, then religionwasdevelopedbythe development ofa particulartime and place.
2. Tarekat, Tarekat means"the
way". So, after we have Shari'a sciences, the science of the terms and
religion, then we must have the knowledge institutes. Like a Shari'a science it
is stock, while the congregation's knowledge, the road taken. Thus, it means
that we have syari’ah, we must instill a certain way through. The specific path
(tarekat) it must be the way to achieve it through exercises. The exercises in
the teaching institutes is what is called mysticism.
3. Hakekat, if we are to
train the soul in science degree congregations as above (do well) then our
souls will actually find out who we are, and Who God is, then how is the real
truth. Reality itself connotes real truth or absolute truth. Reality itself is
the levels above orders mysticism. If the congregation is an exercise of the
soul, and when it worked perfectly then we come to the level of nature. The
essence is the end of a journey (congregation) itself.
When we have reached this
level, then we will realize the falsehood-falsehood of life that has not been
realized. Because we find the absolute truth, the real truth. Perfection of
body and soul and the ordinances of worship that makes the heart feel good at
all. So often people who have entered the level of nature's forgotten
everything, the mind and intended only God, who God is missed and loved. About
things that are worldly, considered trivial, insignificant soul in life.
If science institutes and suluk
been undertaken in earnest, with perfect conditions and with adherence holding the
pillar then achieved the so-called dreams. Kasyaf means open secret that had
been enveloped and hinder ourselves with God. With the achievement of kasyaf,
then the slave can communicate with God.
4. Ma'rifat, when it
reaches the level of hakekat then we
have the so-called science called science ma'rifat. People who have the
knowledge ma'rifat called 'Arif. Thus, the person who has reached the level
ma'rifat he have the knowledge, experience worship charity, and so on.
associated with the soul of religion. Owned collection of science is not the
science of falsehood, but the absolute truth, philosophy of life and philosophy
of life.
People
who reach this level ma'rifat science has the ability to see something that is
hidden, which is generally not able to see the eyes of ordinary people. Having
wise inner eye through the clouds, the sky and reach far away though. His heart
was filled with nur Allah. The light is good and bad in principle, though the
good and bad that's as small as a mustard seed.
Is
Sufism against the Al-Quran and As-Sunnah? Actually,
Sufism does not conflict with the Quran and As-Sunnah. Even with the study and practice of mysticism, it is suitable for
running as exemplified worship Allah to us. If people did not see a close look
at one part of the teachings of Sufism, his eyes would be open, how Sufism is a
perfect fit with the teachings of Muhammad. Because the doctrine itself is
resting on Al-Quran and As-Sunnah. We all realize that in Islam, it can be
classified into three major groups, namely:
a. Islam, the goal is Shari'a, such as the laws that apply in the teachings
of Islam, like a traditional prayer, zakat ordinance, ordinances pilgrimage,
fasting, clean and unclean, unclean and makruh, and circumcision obligatory and
others.
b. Faith, the soul comes to believe that Muhammad is the Messenger of
Allah, there is definitely the end of the day, there must be an angel, God's
pattern holds true.
c. Ihsan, moral formation can be done by purifying the mind of the
despicable attitudes and make life a commendable spirit. Thus it is clear that
Sufism does not conflict with al-Quran and al-Hadists.
To
know the essence of Sufism, then the following is the opinion of a very famous
Sufi. He was Ibn Khaldun. He argued "principal origin of Sufism is devoted
to worship, in direct contact with God, keep away from the glitz and splendor
of the world, not like the many treasures to be hunted, and quiet self-besepi
(exile) to carry out worship God. "He also argues," this thing was
done by the companions of the Prophet and the Salaf people, but later in the
period of the second century after Hijrah, when people are scrambling to catch
up the world wealth and the lives of those lost in the world, then people
diligent worship as normal named people that Sufism. "
From
the information above we can conclude that the teaching of Sufism advised the
Muslims that:
a. Not get enough
run of worship to God.
b. Keep away from
the crazy sense of luxury, wealth exaggeration, which includes worldly smell.
c. Put their trust. Hang
up and tied him to God.
d. Implement hidden
worship. That is with full concentration and surrender everything to God.
Then from the second description, We can take
sometbig idea as follows:
a. That the practice of Sufism and mysticism does
not deviate from the character and deeds, the Prophet and his companions. Even
the character and deeds of the Prophet is the mainexample of Sufi.
b. In the second century of Hijra many people who
deviate from the teachings and the Prophet and his companions.
c. There are people who want to stay true to the
teachings of the Prophet and his companions, that people called Sufi.

the Sunnah:
1)

(sorry for the sins that have been done)
2)

(practicing in earnest)

B.
Application of Doctrine of
Sufism in real life.
Since
Prophet leave us, about two centuries Hijri, in the face of the earth,
especially in mainland Arabia, many Muslims who believe in God but not love and
selfish. As a result they are no longer afraid of the threat of God. No longer
heed the commands and prohibitions, whether special or muamalah connected with
worshiping. Each of them works for himself, chasing wealth and position,
pleasure and luxury. Then the interests of religion no longer receive
attention. They both compete and race for the sake of enjoyment of the world
alone. Competition and race each other that makes them cornered, each dropping,
envy, jealousy, hate each other, mutual fines, arrogant and all sorts of
properties madmumah.
After the human tendency towards worldly glitter and glitz rampant in
the second century of Hijra, then there are those that concern Muslims. They do
not like the fact, Where the human action is beyond the limits and break the
rules of God. So with this things, people are still consistent with the
teachings of Islam was born adn mind to leave the crowds. They went to the place where the lonely. The goal
is to avoid immorality, and more composure and concentration to get closer to
Allah.
Centuries
later years came the Sufi clerics who tried to restore the Islamic teachings of
Al-Quran and As-Sunnah. For the wickedness of the human
heart and trends in the world of luxury and wickedness there was no other way
to straighten it but build character Mahmudah, foster care is commendable and
eliminate human nature in the world of luxury and immorality or madmumah
characteristic.
Sufisbelieve

Beforewe discussabout
theapplication,thenwe must know how thingsincluding theproblems
ofcontemporarysociety, which is often calledmodernsociety. InBig
English Dictionarythe word"public" means "association of human life(the set
of peoplewholive togetherin a
placebythe bonds ofa specificrule), while the word" modern "means" new, in a new, cutting-edge. "Thus theliterallythe word
"modern society" can be definedas "a set of
people living togetherin a placewithtiesto certain rulesthat arecutting edge." ThenDeliarNoerprovidemoderncharacteristicsas follows:

Meaning: Corruption has

them to feel part of the (result of) their deeds, that they come back (to the
right).
Dari sikap mental seperti di atas, kehadiran ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi
telah melahirkan sejumlah problematika masyarakat modern. Promblematika yang
muncul antara lain :
From Mental attitude as
above, the presence of science and technology has given rise to a number of
problems of modern society. The promblem that arise
include:
- Abuse of Science and Technology. Spiritual bond apart from science
and technology, resulting in the ability to make weapons have been
directed for the purpose of colonizing other nations.
- Faith silting.
Prefers belief in the mind of the religious faith.
- Disintegration of Sciences. A specialization
in science, each paradigm alone possess knowledge in solving problems.
- Materialistic
relationship patterns. Choosing association or relationship mutually
beneficial materially.
- Justify the means.
In reachinggoals aside religious moral
values.
- Personality split (split personality). Because of modern human life
is formed by dry varieties science of spiritual values and fragmented,
resulting in a broken human being personally. If the scientific process developed
not under the control of religion, the process of destruction of the human
person continues to run. Thus, all the power to effect higher degree of
human life is lost, so that not only lives are in decline, but also the
level of intelligence and moral.
- Stress and
Frustration. If the goal is not achieved,
often despairing, sometimes the depression.
- Loss of
Self-Esteem and Future. If the control of
religious values have detached from life, so people no longer have
self-esteem and the future.
Eric Fromm said that, the character of
modern society characterized by market orientation, in which success is
dependent on the extent of resale value in the market. Modern society sellers
like him as well as a community that is ready to be sold in the market. Therefore,
respect for human dignity is determined by the resale value on the market, a
result everyone is motivated to fight hard to be successful and wealthy
workers, after the confirmation of the success. Prosperity represents high
value sales, while otherwise poverty interpreted.
Kindness, honesty, fidelity to truth
and justice are like worthless if it does not provide benefits for the success
and prosperity. If someone does not prosperous economic conditions, it is
regarded as a success yet, even to fail in life. Such a situation indicates
modern society, people who experience alienation (aliensi), they are no longer
grounded to the quality of humanity, but rather sticking to his success in
achieving material wealth.
These conditions turn as being the noblest
of human consciousness. Virtue and glory together with the strength of
personality, not rely on something outside himself. Therefore, modern society
had depersonilisasi emptiness and meaningless life. Its existence depends on
the ownership and watch symbol of wealth, the desire to obtain abundant
treasures beyond the commitment to social solidarity. It is driven by the view
that the many treasures is a superhuman.
Many experts proposed ways to address
the problems of modern society and one of the most agreed upon by the experts
is to develop a moral life and taswuf. One figure who so fervently fought for
the moral mysticism overcome these problems is Hussein Nasr. According to him,
the schools of Sufism began to get a place in the society (including the West)
as they began searching where Sufism to answer a number of problems.
Sufism needs to be promoted in modern
life that now because there are 3 important goals are:
- Involved in
various roles in saving humanity from the condition of the confusion caused
by the loss of spiritual values.
- Introducing
aspects of literature or understanding of esoteric (mystical) Islam, both
to the people of Islam and non-Islam began to forget, especially towards
the west.
- To give you a reaffirmation that indeed the esoteric aspects of Islam, Sufism, the heart of the teachings of Islam so that when the area is dry and not pulsing, then other aspects of Islamic teachings dry.
The essence of Sufism as understood
mysticism in other religions is aimed at obtaining a direct relationship with
God and realized, so that one feels with awareness was in his presence. These
efforts among others, contemplation, break away from the shackles of the
world's ever-changing and transient. Attitudes of the Sufi is required by
modern society experience a fragmented soul as mentioned, provided views on the
purpose of Sufism is not done exclusively and individually, but powerless
applicable in responding to the problems faced.
Ability to relate to God is to integrate all science because it seemed scattered through Sufism is someone aware that the source of all that exists comes from God. With the help of this mysticism, the science and the other one will not crash because he was in one way and one goal. Furthermore Sufism train people to have the sharpness and smoothness of the inner character.Mental attitude and sharp refinement is causing it will always put humanitarian concerns on any problems encountered so he will avoid committing despicable acts according to religion.

Furthermore resignation to God's
teachings cause he has a solid grip, because he has represent or mortgaged
himself entirely to God, this attitude will overcome the attitude of
resignation stress experienced by humans. Materialistic and hedonistic attitude
pervasive in modern life can be overcome by applying the concept of asceticism,
which is essentially an attitude that does not want to be enslaved or trapped
by worldly influences in the meantime. If this attitude is not stable, then he
would not dare to use any means to achieve the goal, for the objectives to be
achieved in Sufism is the way to God, then Caranyapun must be taken in a way
that favored the Lord.
Similarly uzlah teachings contained in
Sufism is the effort to alienate themselves from mundane terperangkat by trickery,
can also be used to equip a modern society from becoming sekruft of engine
life. Who did not know him would carry. Sufism to the concept that uzlahnya
trying to free man from the pitfalls of life, but he remained in control of its
activities in accordance with the divine values, and not otherwise insoluble in
worldly influences. Recent problems of modern society above is the number of
people who lost their depanya, feel the silence and the emptiness of life in
the midst of derunya pace of life.
Century has arrived growing, modern technology is growing. Development in line with the changing times. Who would not be pursuing the development of means obsolete. These words fall fishing we plunge into modernism.

Modernism is a sign of progress and
moderniame also a sign of the decline of a nation. Developments in various
fields, from economics to the field of technology. It has a lot to make us
forget our land-early goal-that we get up early. In fact, modernism more days
bring myself kta enveloped with technological developments.
In effect, the appreciation of Islam
began to be replaced with an all-round appreciation of temporal wants modern.
The principle of the brain thought materiaistik meet, which releases the
control of religion and freedom of action in order to meet modernism has been
in power for therapeutic beat sufism or mysticism.
Modern society increasingly extol the
existence of science, then as if we are in a suburb of the western madzhab and
we even almost lost vision to God. This makes us more stressed and barren
hearts with the world, due to not having a handle on life.
In theory applied by Ary success
Gynanjar illustrating our existence already and have had the power or ability
in the form of IQ, EQ and SQ. Which, when it fortifies the ability of human
beings on the day to be a successful human or human-kamil. For this reason, the
theory applied by Ary Gynanjar must be balanced against the personal self.
Therefore, the impact of the imbalance will change myself a life without
peganggan a run there and run here, go there and participate, do not have a
reliable principle.
The realization of human capabilities,
generally form of economic power, technology, and worship power. Naturally all,
economic power and technology is indispensable for supporting the success of
Muslims in order to maintain and raise the dignity of the people themselves.
This is due to the rampant growth and vibrant temporal needs as well.
Therefore, safety is determined by each individual, where he grew to preserve
the dignity of Islam, the more awake the modernism magnitude of the current.
A balance is needed, but the reality
of what happens when man do taqorub ilahirobbi which they live their lives full
of nuance Sufism is not accompanied by the name EQ. So that happened, they can
only be close to the Lord but not close to the communities surrounding
environment. As a pious Muslim faith to faith, belief either in the presence of
the times, these developments should balance not follow even affected the
times. For that, pertebal scientific strength to balance the times. We need to
remember a moment in Sura al-Fajr verses 27-30, which means:
"O soul calm, return to your Lord
satisfied and blessed God, come into from me (the pious charity), and come into
my heaven."
This verse we can think, when we drift
modernism, and return to the path of Allah.
Secularity Sufism be the answer of all
this, the biggest hopes in the presence of the book, makes people turn away for
a moment to reach again nature of divinity that often fade with modernism.
Solicitation and seduction sheer, blinding glimpse of the struggle has been
that we've pioneered. Exsistenced capability should return Sufism who can slash
a little sparkling black blasphemy in the modern world.
Let us open, pieces sheet Islamic
symbols have been used to cover up their mistakes. Islamic holy shield
simbolistik their victims. Its true, Islam is very democratic in his time but
have our fair share in the concept of nationhood in religious connected. Thus
create a new concept of a more moderate on the our environment.
The same explanation, cored on the
balance covered by ESQ theory, it makes interaction with fellow human beings
can develop peacefully. As Sufism is part of Islam, which is the way to
approach to God Almighty. During this time, Sufism underestimated by most
Muslims. They assume, a Tasawuf not even familiar with the world, do not know
tolerance, and more. Actually, if observed carefully Tasawuf more precisely with values, ethics and norms
that were born from the body of Sufism.
The reality, says modernism even
turned setbacks. This is caused by the crisis of modern civilization comes from
the rejection of the nature of the soul and the grandual remove ma'nawiyah
nature of human life. Modern man tries to live by bread alone, the They even
tried to "kill" God and declare independence from the afterlife. From
here, only we know what is more importantly than some of our needs, when growing
maturity matured in the presence of God Almighty.
Benefits of Sufism instead to return the value of
spirituality or closer to God, but also useful in many areas of modern human
life. Especially nowadays seem comprehensive development in the science of
Sufism in inter-disciplinary.
Here are some of the values that could be implicated in the mysticism of everyday life:
Here are some of the values that could be implicated in the mysticism of everyday life:
a) Zuhud
People who do not feel
happy with the ascetic ruahnya abundant wealth and not feel hard to lose it. Allah
says in Surah Al-Hadid: 3, which means:
That you do not feel troubled by what is missing, and also do not feel proud of what has come to you.
That you do not feel troubled by what is missing, and also do not feel proud of what has come to you.
Zuhud according to
Al-Junaid is empty net tanga of ownership and heart than the desire to have
something. [2]
Al-Harraz in the book
as-shidqu mention that the ascetic is a person who negate the worldly desires
of the heart are little by little, and he would see that the purpose of the
ascetic.
For ascetic values, the
Prophet Muhammad is clearly a good example for us make the guidelines. Imagine
only a great leader of people and the caliph as he had slept with a bare stem
of the palm, which when once awakened the ex-sheath attached to his body.
Though he could live far more luxurious than it was, but he chose not to
simplicity so loved the world.It means we can do ascetic values form our
simplicity in everyday life.
b)
Ridho
Literally, it means Ridho
willing, like, happy. Harun Nasution said the blessing of not trying, not
against Qada 'and Qadar god. In this case, when we are able to pleased with the
acceptance of Qada and Qadar, indirectly we have issued a feeling of hatred
from the heart so that the stay in our hearts just squeezed a bunch and happy.
Thus the important
implications of blessing to our lives. For example, when we have to take the
exam, and get results. In the end when we got a good GPA or not, when the
nature of the blessing has been ingrained in us that, whatever the outcome of
the existing GPA, will be received with pleasure as a form of acceptance of
Qada and Qadar.
c)
Qanaah
Qanaah is one of the
values of Sufism is also so important in the reality. Everyday life we
sometimes what we want is not in accordance with what we would expect. It may
be described as we walked alongside a road, after huja subsides. Suddenly a
passing car and causing puddles after a rain soaked us. While the driver of the
car apparently did not realize his mistake and keep moving. The question is,
what will you do to deal with this sort of thing? Angry? Or you'll trn around?.
Angry or grumbling, it's your choice, just on who you are angry or sputter?
While the driver of the car is gone leaving you.
Here qanaah required, the nature of God's accepting her fate gracefully, qanaah that we need to apply in our daily lives.
Here qanaah required, the nature of God's accepting her fate gracefully, qanaah that we need to apply in our daily lives.
d)
Tawakal
Tawakal is the feeling of
a believer in looking at nature, that what is contained therein will not be spared
from God's hand, which was held in his heart by God's peace, and this is where
a Muslim feels comfort with god, after he perform the duties that ordered by
Allah SWT.
In essence, before the
form tawakkal came, the first thing we are going through is effort. Where the
initiative is a process carried out as closely as possible to the physical body
and mind, and when the process is done, now turn to the heart or soul to
bersika surrender fully to the provisions of GOD Almighty, is then called
resignation.
But in everyday life we
sometimes often seen something wrong like this. Many of those who sometimes
bend over backwards to get things done, without the process of resignation
after it. This is what makes us often think of all that is produced only on a
personal hard work, not aid or divine intervention.
And when we have tried hard, and continued with the resignation. Then indecision or disappointment our hearts will soon remedied when what we try not performing well.
And when we have tried hard, and continued with the resignation. Then indecision or disappointment our hearts will soon remedied when what we try not performing well.
e) Patient
In hafiah, patience means
stable. According to Al-Zun Nun al-Mishry, patience means abstain from things
that are contrary to the will of God, but quiet when getting trials, and
manampakkan enough attitude to be in poverty despite the fact that the field of
economics. Furthermore ibn Atha said wait means to remain steadfast in the face
of temptation with a good attitude.
It is said that patience
is something that has no limits, because the patient does not have a benchmark.
Only God is perfect impatient owner properties. But we still have patience
implied in everyday life.
But in this case we also
need foresight in dealing with a problem. Sometimes what is tested for the
fruit we are to see to what extent train patience or patient attitudes that
exist in ourselves.
f)
Gratitude
According to Al-Kharraz
gratitude is divided into three, namely thanks to the heart include our belief
that blessings are only from Allah, not from other than Him. Secondly, thanks
to the oral form of greeting Alhamdulillah, we say the favors given. And third
thanks to the body, where the realization is done by using any of its members,
who have been given health by God and who have been created with excellent
shape.
What happens when God scores
3 minutes without his blessings, then in three minutes will be destroyed and
busy people seek help. Air breathing stopped and human distress, it's one small
example. What a great blessing given to us humans, but sometimes people rarely
appreciate the favor that. Thankful that a solution that must be supported
implementation. God has given a lot, so it is ratitude that must be mandatory
for us to do.

Benefits of Sufism in
Everyday Life
To understand the meaning
of Sufism, it is necessary insight: that meaning in the overall diversity, and
relation to the creation of human life better. This is called "positive
mysticism," a mysticism that is open to the basic human needs for growth,
balance and harmony. With this positive mysticism, also opens the possibility
of dialogue with various religious spirituality, and non-religious are all true
today face a major problem with the humanitarian threat.
Various kinds of Sufism
has evolved to overcome the global crisis of humanity. Therefore dialogue among
adherents of Sufism, although of different religions can contribute to the
discourse of humanitarian crises. What is called Hans Kung to the "need
for a global ethic" seems to be filled with the cooperation of religions,
starting with a positive outlook on the most basic of religion itself-the heart
of religion, the essence of Sufism itself, which can be brought together
religion. From here we can explore the dialogue even passing over to the other
religions, to explore and gain a wealth of spiritual perspective.
If we observe the
development of awareness about the challenges of global ethics, the development
of mysticism (in this case "inter-religious mysticism") have indeed
underlies efforts together to find an alternative to the mechanistic view of
modern culture, sekularistik, towards a more ecological perspective and holistic.
Here Sufism met with spirituality religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism,
Christian mysticism, new age, spirituality of local wisdom and so on), which
together are expected to encourage a critical mass to see the world anew.This
is referred to as the Marilyn Ferguson The Aquarian Conspiracy (conspiracy
Aquarius) are a sign of the revival of Sufism in the beginning of the
millennium.
Sufism is a philosophy
that has so deeply about spirituality and religiosity religious aspects, so
many expectations among the healthy-spirituality is to be gained from this
positive mysticism, in the face of "the diversity of the sick" that
arise because of authoritarianism in religion-which in Sufism described as nafs
ammara bi 'l-su (lust that drives the evil, Q. 12:53).
Sufism promising
salvation. Especially in the midst of crisis-paced life materialistic,
hedonistic, secular, plus life more difficult economically and psychologically
it, Sufism gives spiritual antidote, providing durability. In contemporary
discourse, often discussed Sufism as a remedy to overcome spiritual crisis of
modern man who has been separated from the center of himself, so he does not
know who he is anymore, the meaning and purpose of life in this world. The
ambiguity of the meaning and purpose of life is very uncomfortable, and making
mental suffering. So cool springs Sufism and provide refreshment and rescue the
humans who alienated it.
Realizing these goals, it
is no exaggeration. Especially nowadays seem comprehensive development in the
science of Sufism in inter-disciplinary. Some examples can be mentioned here,
such as meeting with the physics of Sufism, a holistic and modern science,
leading to the presence of the meaning of human consciousness and its main
tasks in the face of the Earth-side which is now called The Anthropic
Principle, meeting mysticism with ecological awareness regarding the importance
of this natural continuity with biodiversity, based on the understanding of
natural holiness, meeting Sufism with alternative healing to bring awareness that
health problems are not only physical, but the more spiritual:
Sufism give soul vision
for medicine, mysticism meeting with the new psychology that emphasizes
transpersonal terms, and other interdisciplinary meeting point is the same: all
contribute to the awareness that the meaning Sufism today is not only the
formal piety, but it is primarily a global ethic! For that Sufism is necessary
in the way of living beings. Sufism is not the way of life is especially true
of the formal, but how the values of Sufism is a way of life.
Seeing the development of Islam in Indonesia, lately it seems there is a shift in religious orientation of formal devotion to the Sufi piety. Just at this point "Sufism fever" that is sweeping the Islamic society is so alarming and need attention. As we all know, Islam in Indonesia has grown such that it now looks very formalists in religion, as if nothing else in terms of religion.

As we all know, Islam in Indonesia has grown such that it now looks very formalists in religion, as if nothing else in terms of religion.
Formal forms of piety and
godliness so prominent individual. Religiosity is very vibrant, rapidly growing
house of worship everywhere, the number of pilgrims increased, but in terms of
substantial, as a nation, diversity seems not reflect Islamic values. The
so-called megalitarianisme, justice, humanitarian awareness, respect for the
law and human rights, environmental awareness, cleanliness, respect for the
weak, inclusive and pluralist attitude, and so on, which is definitely the
basic values of religion, it not reflected in people's lives. In fact so high
in religious fervor, religious atmosphere is so striking.
From there then we are
very concerned about Sufism fever lately. If the fever is just an extension of
Sufism course of piety, then what is its meaning? Between Sufism and mysticism
is not no difference: both formal piety that does not reflect the religiosity!
Fever Sufism hopefully not just a continuation of the formal piety, that if
only this, yes like the froth in the sea: not mean anything socially. So we
hope this fever Sufism, not a step backward in religion, but it is the
beginning of the development of Islam in Indonesia are expected to make
religious life more open, inclusive-pluralist, which give grace to everyone.
Sufism fever may be a sign of the growing awareness in the search for the
contribution of religions to the challenges of global ethics above. But it all
depends on our ability to present a positive mysticism, not excessive.
The essence of Sufism is
closer to Allah through self-purification and waht in Islamdo. And there are
some verses that instruct to purify themselves (tazkiyyah al-nafs) among them:
"Really, Happyness for who purifies his soul" (Surat ash-Sham [91]:
9): "O soul calm, return to your Lord with a peaceful heart again blessed
him. Then go into the congregation of my servants and enter into My Paradise
"(Surat al-Fajr: 28-30). Or verse ordered to surrender to God, "Say:
Truly my prayer, ibadatku, my life and my death are for Allah, Lord of the
worlds, no partner unto Him, and so that is commanded, and I am the
first-handed theme oneself (to) Allah "(Surat al-An'am: 162).
Thus, the function of
Sufism in life is to make people behave characteristic the righteous and good
and noble quality as well as worship. Those who fall into a stream tharekat or
Sufism in completing daily activities required to live a simple, honest,
committed and and tawadhu. All of it if you look at the Prophet Muhammad
himself, who has basically been manifest in their daily lives. Especially in
adolescence Prophet Muhammad known as the man who dubbed al-Amin, Siddiq,
Fathanah, Tabligh, Patience, Tawakal, Zuhud, and includes doing good to enemies
and opponents are harmless or can be invited back on the right path. Perilaklu
Prophet lived in the history of life is the practical form of a Sufi way of
life.
So, the most important
goal of Sufism is the birth of good morals and be useful to others. In modern
life, mysticism into drugs that address modern man's spiritual crisis that has
been separated from the center of himself, so he does not know who he is
anymore, the meaning and purpose of life. The ambiguity of the meaning and
purpose of life is to make mental suffering. So through Islamic spirituality
lading dry so tersirami cool water and provide refreshment and direct your life
better and clearer direction purpose.
