- The Javanese Mystical Epistemology in Kitab Primbon Betaljemur Adammakna
and Its Implication to Inclusivism Authors: Mahmudi Kafrawi Abstract: Javanese culture is rich. It has been practiced from generation to generation and still exists today. One kind of Javanese treasury in the form of work is the Primbon Book (Book of forecasts), which is often used as a reference in various aspects of the life of Javanese people, such as marriage, business, work, predicting the future, and even knowing someone's character. This study aims to investigate the Kitab Primbon Betaljemur Adammakna, a book owned by Sultan Hamengku Buwono of Yogyakarta, which was rewritten by Pangeran Harya Tjakraningrat, regarding its epistemology and implications for inclusive attitudes. This study is classified as qualitative research, with the primary data collected from Kitab Primbon Betaljemur Adammakna. This study applies descriptive analysis. The results reveal that this book has Javanese mystical epistemology. Even though it is considered not to have a rational basis, it is believed to be valid among Javanese people and is thus still used as a reference for their lives. The book has profound implications for attitudes of tolerance in pluralistic Indonesian society. Through recognition of the plurality of spiritual paths, awareness of unity in diversity, karma, and compassion, and an attitude of humility and piety, this book encourages individuals and society to develop an inclusive attitude of tolerance and respect for the diversity of religions and beliefs.Contribution: This study contributes to providing an understanding of tolerance attitudes inspired by the local wisdom of Javanese people, i.e., Kitab Primbon.

- Digital Media Impact on Sufi Practices: Analyzing Ijāza Wirid Dhikr
Authors: Ahmad Rizki, Hasan Rusdi Abstract: This article discusses the impact of digital media on Sufi practices, specifically in the context of conducting ijāza (authorization) for wirid dhikr rituals through digital platforms. Traditionally, Sufi practices such as the ijazah involve direct teaching from teacher to student. However, with the rapid development of digital media, the ijāza process has undergone significant changes. This study adopts an eclectic approach, which combines digital ethnography to study online participant engagement and a comprehensive literature review to track and measure the transformation of ijāza through digital media. Data were gathered from various sources, including books, scholarly journals, and relevant digital content related to the research topic. The findings show that the evolution of digital media has transformed the implementation of ijāza for wirid dhikr from direct (traditional) to indirect transmission through online media, and it is considered valid. Yet, ijaza is not merely dealing with the process of authorization but also the transmission of blessings and spiritual knowledge from the teacher to the student, which needs close engagement and relationships that can only be achieved with direct interaction.Contribution: This article provides an understanding of the impact and validity of ijāza conducted through digital media compared to traditional methods yet considered valid.

- Javanese-Islamic Mysticism in Serat Nitisruti by Prince Karanggayam
Authors: Bahroon Ansori, Thiyas Tono Taufiq Abstract: Islamic-Javanese mysticism believes that humans can find God (in union with Him) through wisdom. The concepts are similar to Sufism, such as Ittiḥād, ḥulūl, and Waḥdat al-wujūd. This study aims to discover the formulation of Islamic-Javanese mysticism teachings in Serat Nitisruti by Prince Karanggayam. The primary data were obtained from Javanese manuscripts, namely Serat Nitisruti, compiled by Prince Karanggayam (1591-1612 AD), from the early days of Pajang to the end of Pajang (controlled by Mataram). Prince Karanggayam was the first poet and an Islamic preacher in Pajang. This study applies the cultural analysis of Koentjaraningrat. The results show that Islamic-Javanese mysticism in Serat Nitisruti has four stages; purification of kapti(heart), atunggal marang Gusti (union with God), nugrahaning widhiand the last is application stage i.e., managing the world or doing real actions. If someone can reach the third stage, he deserves to be called waskitha. However, if those stages are not completed with the application stage, the result will be imperfect. Therefore, Islamic-Javanese mysticism has its own reasoning and logic that is in accordance with Javanese society at that time, namely, ngelmu kanthi laku, knowledge must be accompanied by real actions.Contribution: This study uncovers the teachings of the spiritual journey based on local wisdom among Javanese Muslims, as contained in Serat Nitisruti, which was compiled by Prince Karanggayam.

- Strategies for Fostering Nationalism through Buya Hamka's Sufi Educational
Lens in the Digital Era Authors: Hero Gefthi Firnando Abstract: This study examines how Buya Hamka's Sufistic education can foster the spirit of nationalism in the digital era. This study employs the phenomenological hermeneutic and content analysis approaches to extract and analyze Buya Hamka's views on spiritual intelligence and its role in fostering social purity. The findings reveal strategies from Buya Hamka to promote nationalism in the digital age by incorporating Sufistic principles and practices into the educational framework. Hamka considers Sufism a unifying force capable of transcending divisions based on ethnicity and region. Sufism provides a common ground for Indonesians of various backgrounds to come together under a shared Islamic identity. Further, he argues the significance of Islam's inner and spiritual dimensions, such as spiritual discipline, as integral components of Islamic education. Education should not only stress elevating cognitive intelligence but also nurture qualities such as compassion, humility, and integrity. Shortly speaking, Islamic education, in Hamka's view, combines traditional Islamic teachings, Sufi principles, and a commitment to developing a strong national character.Contribution: This study provides a new perspective on education promoted by Buya Hamka to shape national identity in the digital era. Hamka insists on character building, cognitive and spiritual intelligence, and building nationalism character in Islamic education.

- Pancasilais Sufi: Kiai Asrori as a Portrait of Nationalist and Moderate
Figure in Disruption Era Authors: Muhammad Nurush Shobah, Wiwik Setiyani, Ainul Yaqin, Lukman Hakim Abstract: The relationship between Islam and the state is still debatable in Indonesia. Pancasila, as the foundation of the state, is also often contested, even though it was formulated by the Indonesian founding fathers through a very serious academic debate. This study will examine the role of K.H. Ahmad Asrori Al-Ishaqi (hereafter Kiai Asrori) Kedinding Surabaya as a Pancasilaist Sufi. This is qualitative-based research, where the data were collected from Kiai Asrori's works and his lectures uploaded on YouTube, observations, and direct and indirect interviews. The findings show that Kiai Asrori is a Sufi who is able to demonstrate that there are similarities between the teachings of Sufism and nationalism, especially with Pancasila. Both even have a symbiotic association. Kiai Asrori is an ulama and a Sufi who upholds the values of nationalism and democracy, which are reflected in the Majelis Lima Pilar (Five Pillars Assembly) he established. This assembly was built on two foundations, namely the practice and teachings of Sufism and nationalism and democratic values.Contribution: This study will provide new insights into Sufi practices and teachings that align with Pancasila values reflected in the figure of Kiai Asrori.

- God in Awe and Intimacy: Jewish and Muslim Perspectives on Understanding
and Pronouncing the Name(s) of God and its Relation to the Humanitarian Crisis Authors: Nanik Yuliyanti First page: 1 Abstract: The concept of God is essential for both Jews and Muslims. Instead of using the terms Judaism and Islam, this study considers the terms Jews/Jewish and Muslims as more proper to focus on human beings as the subject of religion who are open to dialogue and change. Loving God’s creations is a process of loving the Creator. Thus, this study tries to connect Jewish and Muslim understanding and belief in God’s Names and its implications for their actions concerning the humanitarian crisis, especially today’s Israel-Palestine relationship. This study applies the content and comparative analysis of the texts (documents, videos, and pictures) related to the issue, along with the teachings of Isaac Luria and Mulla Sadra. In addition, a phenomenological approach is also used as it leads to an effort to understand religious thought and behavior from the point of view of the religious person. This study revealed that how humans understand Divine Names is manifested in how they treat each other. As human beings are the best manifestation of God, how we see, treat, and interact with others reflects our understanding of God’s names and vice versa. God’s names are all beautiful. Therefore, those who believe in God will do good to themselves, others, and the universe.Contribution: This study provides insight into a correlation between one’s beliefs and actions among Jews and Muslims. One’s actions reflect one's understanding of God and vice versa. PubDate: 2024-06-11 DOI: 10.21580/tos.v13i1.20534 Issue No: Vol. 13, No. 1 (2024)
