Makna Pluralisme Agama dan Relevansinya dalam Tradisi Sufi; Kajian atas Kepribadian Abu Mansur al-Halaj

The study of wihhdtul adyan thoughts which is often identified with religious pluralism has recently attracted the attention of academics, researchers, and reviewers of religions. The issue of wihdatul adyan, by some parties forcibly tried to be juxtaposed and equated with the wihdatul wujud thought conceptualized by a Sufi figure such as al-Hallaj. This paper intends to examine the model and practice of Sufism in the person of Abu Mansur Al-Hallaj, who is referred to by some as the bearer of the idea of ​​religious pluralism. This paper is also qualitative research with a philosophical-theological approach and concludes that; First, Al-Hallaj is not the originator and bearer of the idea of ​​religious pluralism in Islam, this is supported by several opinions of Sufis about Al-Hallaj. Second, Al-Hallaj acknowledged that there are differences in religion, not equality of religions (read: all religions are true) because in his childhood he experienced religious diversity in his family environment. Third, the claim against Al-Hallaj as the originator or father of religious pluralism is an excessive and irresponsible title, because what Al-Hallaj did is not under the alleged claim. This study provides an understanding that wihdatul wujud which is identical to the person of Al-Hallaj is not the meaning of wihdatul adyan which is often referred to as religious pluralism as claimed by some academics

Aliran Kepercayaan dan Kebatinan: Membaca Tradisi dan Budaya Sinkretis Masyarakat Jawa

Tradisi dan budaya sinkretis dalam masyarakat Jawa merupakan khazanah warisan lama agama asli Indonesia (animesme dan dinamesme) dan agama Hindu yang kemudian menyatu dengan nilai-nilai ke-Islaman. Menyatunya beberapa nilai tersebut, bukanlah berlangsung secara tiba-tiba, melainkan adanya unsure kesengajaan yang dilakukan oleh para da‟i untuk memasukkan nilai-nilai ke-Islaman, kedalam agama asli Jawa itu. Pada saat itu, para da‟i enggan menolak secara tegas tradisi dan budaya local dan juga tidak percaya diri untuk menyebarkan ajaran Islam yang asli secara langsung. Para da‟i lebih memilih jalan damai ketimbang harus bersikeras melawan arus tradisi dan budaya yang ada. Hasilanya, tidak dipungkiri, bahwa dengan kelenturan sikap tersebut, terbukti Islam secara cepat tersebar keseluruh pelosok tanah Jawa dan Indonesia secara umum. Namun yang perlu dicatat adalah Islam yang dikenalkan dan masuk ke Indonesia dan lebih khusus ke masyarakat Jawa saat itu hingga sekarang ini, merupakan Islam yang memiliki kepribadian ganda. Kendati masyarakat Jawa telah beragama Islam dan menjalankan syariatnya, akan tetapi pada saat yang sama mereka juga tidak mampu meninggalkan kebiasaan lamanya, seperti selamatan yang diwariskan oleh agama Hindu, bahkan mereka tetap semangat menguri-uri tradisi dan budaya lamanya itu hingga saat ini. Sinkretisme, akhirnya tak dapat dihindari, bahkan masih tetap berjalan sampai saat ini. Yang lebih memprihatinkan lagi, ada sebagian mereka yang dengan sengaja memprakarsai dan menghidupkan kembali tradisi sinkretis itu, dengan dalih menggali potensi tradisi dan budaya bumi pertiwi untuk meningkatkan nilai wisata religi, meskipun sesungguhnya nilai komersialnya jauh lebih tingi. Makalah ini hadir untuk membaca realitas tradisi dan budaya yang terus dilakukan oleh sebagian besar masyarakat Jawa itu dan yang senantiasa diuri-uri oleh beberapa pendukung aliran kepercayaan dan kebatinan. Selain itu, makalah ini juga menawarkan upaya yang bisa dilakukan oleh umat Islam untuk kemungkinan keluar dari tradisi dan budaya sinkretis itu

Critic on Auguste Comte’s Positivism in Sociology (An Islamic Sociology Perspective)

The rapid science in the modern era, provides significant changes for humans, both in the fields of economics, politics, culture, environment, society, education, and even religion. The 19th century is a century of science that is growing rapidly, this can be seen from the emergence of various scientists who provide concepts, theories based on philosophy with basic ontology, epistemology, and axiology as a contribution to the development of science. One of them, the scientist known as the father of sociology, was Auguste Comte a scientist from France. Comte is famous for its philosophy of postivism because of the many references by scientists in the contemporary era. This is based on the calculation of the success of designing the social structure of modern humans with three stages of law, but one side of the theory he produced has eliminated the fundamental value in humans, namely eliminating the metaphysical basis. In a three-stage law, more concerned with physical values than metaphysical values, this will result in a society that abandons religion and even eliminates the existence of God. The thoughts produced by Comte are thoughts originating from the west, where the basic West is relativism so if viewed from an Islamic point of view this theory will produce atheists and eliminate the sanctity of religion. In Islam religion and society are inseparable because religion is a guideline that is used as a basis in people's lives based on the values of the Qur'an and Sunnah. Therefore in this paper we will study more deeply the criticisms of Aguste Comte's thinking, using qualitative research types, with descriptive analysis methods and theological philosophical approaches.

BAHAGIA PERSPEKTIF SYED MUHAMMAD NAQUIB AL-ATTAS
