Abstract

The self is always become a central concept in the mysticism tradition, nonetheless for Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī (d.1207). Through Mathnawī, Rūmī uses metaphors to presents man’s multi-layered self. He communicates through stories with great potential to be developed into various forms of visual and performing arts. Through his creative imagination, and using elements from Persian mystical literature Rūmī presents his messages in an attractive and tangible form. Adopting metaphors and symbols he pictures various faces of nafs (self) relating each face to an individual animal. “The Snake Catcher’s tale” is an excellent artistic display of man’s battle with his animal self. It offers a complex religious subject in an easy-to-digest manner that can be visualized and set into play

Abstract

Olodumare the Yoruba word for Supreme Being has attracted comments, interpretations and misinterpretations from different scholars of both Yoruba and non-Yoruba extractions. E. Bolaji Idowu, John Ayotunde Bewaji, Kazeem Ademola Fayemi, Kola Abimbola analyses manifest some seemingly contradictions upon which was hinged by Benson O. Igboin, in his paper “Is Olodumare, God in Yoruba Belief, God?” From their explanation, Igboin demand for the true nature of Olodumare having conceded that Olodumare and the Christian God are not and cannot be the same. Specifically, Igboin asked Olodumare, who are you? This paper, therefore, aims at providing an insight to the real nature of Olodumare in Yoruba worldview. It argues that God is nothing other than the English meaning or interpretation of the Supreme Being. The paper posits that Igboin’s pairs of Esu and Olodumare of which one is true and faithful to Yoruba traditional Religion and the other true and faithful to Christianity in Yoruba land does not hold water. Using analytical method of philosophical inquiry, the paper concludes that Olodumare in Yoruba traditional Religion cannot be equated with the concept of God as conceived in Christianity neither could it be bifurcated. He is sufficiently a Supreme Being in Yoruba theology

Abstract

This essay endeavors to look closely at the mystical theological anthropology of Hamzah Fansuri, the first and one of the greatest Sufi writers in the Malay world. Mystical anthropology is arguably the underlying theme of all Fansuri’s poems and he develops this mystical discourse on the theomorphic dignity of every human person, together with the dynamic of return to God, by using some quite original imageries and symbolisms of his own. However, Fansuri’s mystical theological anthropology belongs to the tradition of Ibn al-‘Arabī (the Wujūdiyyah doctrine), while his works also betray familiarity with and the influence of other great mystics of Islam, such as ‘Aṭṭār and Ḥāfiẓ.

Abstract

Islamic theologians and sufi orders are rarely considered to have totally different ways of of discovering the truth of God. In the view of Ibn Taymiyya, on the contrary, Islamic theology and mysticism, both together strive to deliver people to understand the existence of God so they are, accordingly, willing to do good and leave the bad. This what will bring into the perfection of human soul. What makes it different is that Islamic theology (kalām) is more theoretical, while mysticism is more practical. Islamic theology as a theoretical mean leads man to the logical belief. Yet, the realization of this logical belief will practically be appeared when it was charged by Sufism. Yet, Ibn Taymiyya denies such concepts as “union with God” as the highest goal of human life. Absorption into the God and contemplation into the highest Reality should be realized in terms of sharī‘a. For him, the supreme absorption is the absorption in worshiping (‘ibāda) God.

Abstract

The epistemological approach of evidentialism maintains that a belief must have sufficient evidence in order to be rationally justified. The belief in God is no exception, it must pass as well the litmus test of evidence as a measure of its rational justification. But what counts as evidence? Responding to this question and identifying the nature of the evidence that can be used to justify belief has become a point of contention among philosophers. While some evidentialists have denied the possibility of evidence for the belief in God, others have attacked the very basis of the evidentialist claim by promoting belief in God without evidence. The following paper aims at proposing an alternative way or approach to argue and to justify belief in God, that is, intuitive knowledge. To excute this aim, this paper tries at first to describe briefly those two currents of thought and, further, examines and criticizes them by discussing and analyzing the notion of innate concepts and presentational knowledge as known by an intuitive knowledge based on Mullā Ṣadrā’s view. According to some philosophers, this type of knowledge, presentational knowledge, can be included as “evidence” even from the evidentialist point of view which does not limit evidence to conceptual knowledge. By this, critical analysis will be applied here as a method to conduct the research.

Abstract

This paper discovered that religious experience was based on individual recognition of his Lord, called fitrah (QS. al-A’rāf [7]: 172). The intensity of recognition of Lord, however, is different for anyone depending on their capacity. Religious experience of the believer is finding the guidance (QS. at Taghābun [64]: 11), while for the muttaqī is receiving the Furqān (QS. al-Anfāl [18]: 29). Religious experience of the mujāhid is achieving the guidance to go through the paths (QS. al-‘Ankabūt [29]: 69). The author researched the interpretation of the verses of religious experience particularly in Ibn Arabī’s commentaries, Raḥmah min al-Raḥmān fī Tafsīr wa Isyārāt al-Qur`ān: Min Kalām asy-Syaikh al-Akbar Muḥy ad-Dīn Ibn al-‘Arabī and al-Futūḥāt al-Makkiyyah. This article analysis 4 verses of Qur’an which has correlation with the discussion of religious experience. Through this work, it is clear that the religious experience is consequence of the primordial covenant between human and the Lord.

Abstract

The hegemony of rational-positivistic paradigm of modern Western epistemology contributes greatly to the development of modern thought. Iqbal is one who believes that Muslim thinkers were unable to see Islam from Quran point of view because they perceive it from the eye of rational-speculative Greek philosophy. In the postcolonial perspective, Iqbal’s attempt to decolonize Western rational-speculative epistemology from Plato to Descartes found him in ambivalence. British colonialism experienced by Iqbal in India formed the hybrid culture in his project of reconstructing Islamic thought in relation to Western thought. Therefore, Iqbal’s attempt to bridge the gap between rational-speculative of Western thought and mystic-religious tendencies of Islamic thought is a process of seeking “the Third Space” through mimicry as consequence of cultural interaction between the colonizer and the colonized.

Abstract

Mullā Ṣadrā is one of the philosophers who had considerable attention to the study of human. His view concerning the human soul and its perfection can be applied as the basis of Islamic principles of psychology. Under the investigation on his philosophical writtings as well as his Quranic interpretation, such as Tafsīr al-Qur’ān, we are invited to understand human nature and its perfection. This article shows Ṣadra’s view about the value of knowledge as the basis of the achievement of happiness in human being. This paper also intended to show that knowledge about the reality of the human soul has a major influence on moral action of an individual

Abstract

This article explains how an explanatory reductionism theory can be applied to the integration of various disciplines in Jawādī Āmulī’s transcendent anthropology. The author explores some extent of possibility and certain forms of application of explanatory reductionism for such transcendent anthropology. The author uses Ricoeurian hermeneutics method to emphasize distantiation, interpretation, and appropriation. It concludes that, first, Jawādī Āmulī attempts to implement certain forms of an explanatory reductionism in integrating philosophy, ‘irfān, and Quranic exegesis. Second, reductionism can be applied in the integration of various disciplines of knowledge for constructing transcendent anthropology which is approached through the objective effects of human existence in the material universe.
