Bisyarotus Zakiyah — 2025-06-25

Eschatology is one of the branches of philosophy that discusses human life after death. Meanwhile, visiting graves is not just about visiting someone's grave, but visiting graves is an activity of visiting the graves of relatives or pious people to pray for the deceased and taking lessons from them, and hoping for blessings from deceased who during their lifetime were pious people. This research discusses the dimensions of eschatology in visiting graves and the influence of eschatology on the spiritual values of the pilgrims. This research uses a qualitative field approach with data collection techniques in the form of interviews and participatory observations. The eschatology of visiting graves greatly influences the spiritual values of the pilgrims of the grave of Bhujuk Agung Bheleng, also known as Astah Abdul Karim in Pakondang Village, Rubaru Sumenep, both in terms of its influence on the values of faith, piety, and morality. This is marked by an increasing awareness of the temporality of life and the certainty of death. By remembering death, the pilgrims try as much as possible to increase their piety by multiplying good deeds and having noble character both toward Allah SWT, fellow humans, and other creatures.

EPISTEMOLOGY OF SUFISM AND THE WITNESS OF SYEKH ABDUL QADIR AL-JAILANI AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE TREASURE OF ISLAMIC THOUGHT

Aminudin — 2025-10-15

Sheikh Abdul Qadir al-Jailani is a great Sufi figure widely known in the Sunni Sufism tradition. His thoughts and teachings not only formed the map of classical Islamic spirituality, but also made important contributions to the construction of Sufism epistemology and the concept of guardian. This study discusses in depth how the epistemology of Sufism was developed by Sheikh Abdul Qadir al-Jailani, emphasizing the sources of spiritual knowledge such as kasyf, ilham, and ma'rifah, as well as how the concept of sainthood is interpreted as the highest realization of the human spiritual journey. Furthermore, this article also explores how his legacy of thought has implications for the development of Islamic thought in the modern era, particularly in responding to the crisis of spirituality and materialistic tendencies that are developing in the contemporary world. With a qualitative approach and hermeneutic analysis of the works of Sheikh Abdul Qadir al-Jailani such as Futuh al-Ghaib and al-Fath al-Rabbani, this paper shows that the epistemology of Sufism can be an alternative in building a more holistic, integrative, and transcendental scientific paradigm. Ultimately, Sheikh Abdul Qadir's thoughts are not only relevant as a spiritual legacy, but also as an offer of solutions for modern Islamic civilization which is seeking a balance between rationality and spirituality.

SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE MANAGEMENT ACCORDING TO HADROTUS SYAIKH KH HASYIM ASY'ARI:

Muhammad Fatah Lutfi — 2025-06-25

This This study aims to examine the concept of spiritual intelligence management according to Hadrotus Syaikh KH Hasyim Asy’ari as outlined in his classical work, Adabul ‘Alim wa al-Muta‘allim. Using a qualitative approach and library research method, this research analyzes the spiritual values and educational ethics promoted by KH Hasyim Asy’ari in shaping the character of both students and educators. Primary data is obtained from the text of Adabul ‘Alim wa al-Muta‘allim, while secondary data is drawn from relevant literature, including biographies, scholarly journals, and other academic works. The findings indicate that spiritual intelligence management from KH Hasyim Asy’ari’s perspective includes managing sincere intentions, developing noble character, showing respect for knowledge and teachers, and maintaining spiritual discipline throughout the teaching and learning process. Core values such as ikhlāṣ (sincerity), tawāḍu‘ (humility), and riyāḍah al-nafs (spiritual self-discipline) serve as the main foundations for nurturing students’ souls to become not only intellectually capable but also spiritually mature. These findings are highly relevant to be applied in contemporary Islamic education as a model for character- and spirituality-based learning.
