This article examines Jalaluddin Rumi's thoughts on the concept of love as the basis for religious moderation. This article originates from a literature review or literature review to explain descriptively and discuss Jalaluddin Rumi's thoughts on the concept of love as the basis for religious moderation. In this article, the approach used is the Philosophical-Sufistic approach to the thoughts brought by Rumi, namely the concept of love. Jalaluddin Rumi answered and thoroughly discussed the concept of love as the basis for religious moderation in the book "Diwan As-Shams al-Din at-Thabrizi, Matsnawi, and Fihi Ma Fihi". The findings are that the existence of religious moderation is to encourage healthy religious practices, mutual understanding, mutual love, mutual respect and respect, and promote peace missions among all people, regardless of differences in their religious beliefs. Then related to Rumi's thoughts about love can be connected with the concept of religious moderation through four perspectives, namely unity of purpose and religion of love, tolerance and respect, unity with God, and love as self-transformation. Based on these four perspectives, Jalaluddin Rumi's overall thoughts about love offer a strong philosophical foundation for religious moderation. Then, if linked in the context of moderation, Rumi's thought teaches that it is important to view religion as a source of inspiration in life to achieve unity, peace, and respect among religious communities.

برصغیر میں مثنوی معنوی کی اُردو شرح نویسی: بیسویں صدی کے تنا ایک مطالعہ

After the beginning of the 20th century and the British domination, such fundamental changes took place at every level of the Indo-Islamic civilization. The majority of the scholars who were fierce in Islam had fallen in front of limited knowledge, communism, capitalism, liberalism and nationalism. In such a difficult time, Islamic thinkers and Sufi saints equipped with Islamic and modern knowledge step ahead and presented themselves for the service of religion. These Islamic thinkers popularized the teachings of Masnavi Manawi through their compilations, articles and various lectures. However, there is historical evidence that these Sufis and their caliphs continued to give priority to the 'Musnawi Maanwi' in their teachings. In this way, the Islamic ideas and thoughts contained in Masnavi Manawi became popular among the people. As if Masnavi has a big hand in the renaissance of Muslims in the subcontinent, as if Masnavi dominates the entire history of Islamic education in other senses. It has been more or less eight hundred years since Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (1207-1273) left this world. During this long period, almost every period shows a large number of works on the Masnavi, which gives clear evidence of the popularity and universality of the Masnavi. Masnavi is a book of divine mysteries. Therefore, this valuable work has the status of an inspired book in Iran, Turkey and the Indian subcontinent. In view of the importance and usefulness of Masnavi, many scholars, Sufis and modern thinkers wrote exegesis on it for the convenience of the people. In this article, this exegesis (explanations) will be studied briefly.

“SEN VE BEN”: ON YEDİNCİ YÜZYIL BAŞI İNGİLİZ ŞİİRİ VE ON ÜÇÜNCÜ YÜZYIL ANADOLU TASAVVUF ŞİİRİNDE AŞK İLE BİRLİK DÜŞÜNCESİ

Early seventeenth-century English verse and thirteenth-century Anatolian Sufi poetry, though from different cultures and eras, converge in their exploration of going beyond material existence through love. In the verses of Edmund Spenser, John Donne, George Herbert, Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi, Yunus Emre and Haji Bektash Veli, love emerges as a medium for spiritual awakening that liberates individuals from mundane life and socio-political conflicts and leads to an elevated consciousness merged with the divine. Thus, this article will analyse Donne’s “A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning,” Rumi’s “You and I,” Spenser’s “Hymne in Honour of Heavenly Love,” Emre’s “Lovers Die Not,” Herbert’s “Love III,” and Veli’s “The Transcendence of Saints” in light of Plato's idea of Oneness and the Sufi doctrine of wahdat-i wujud and suggest that these poems reveal love as a transformative power enabling individuals to transcend their worldly existence and become One with the beloved, namely the divine.

Spiritual Study on the Concept of Life and Death in the Poetry of Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi

One of the universal occurrences, death seems to have inspired great poets and writers in Iranian and international literature. This study examined how Rumi’s poems address one of the most important life facts, which is death. He regarded death as similar to life or subsequent birth, which is unpleasant and bitter, however, it is also something that poets are eager to embrace and relish for its scrumptiousness.

Several poems on life and death were chosen randomly from Rumi’s masterpiece Mathnavi to be analyzed in this study. Moreover, this study attempted to express the ideas of life and death through some of his famous poems selected from Rumi’s world-famous pieces of writing. The analysis showed that Rumi’s concept of death is bent toward Sufism. He considers death as a rebirth and reunion.

DIMENSI SPIRITUALITAS MUSIK SEBAGAI MEDIA EKSISTENSI DALAM SUFISME JALALUDDIN RUMI

Music in Islam is not only related to art and culture. It is also included in the discourse of religious worship and experience. Many jurists debate the legal status of music, both at the listening level and at the singing level. However, for Sufis, music is a medium of worship, a medium for expressing their experience of closeness to God.

This research is qualitative in nature with descriptive analysis which results in the conclusion that Rumi's poetry and music show his more intimate and secret teachings in relation to the expression of his relationship with God. So the experience of ecstasy and the ma’rifat often arises through poetry or music.

Jalaluddin Rumi's Human Essence and His Comments on the Types

Jalaluddin Rumi explored man from all sides, his natural-material and spiritual-moral world. Its opposite and negative features, natural or hereditary and acquired qualities. With one word, one can call him the founder of the philosophy of man of the spiritual world. He distinguished all kinds of man, such as, man-sacred; half-animal man, half-angel; cannibal man; a person possessing one person and many faces; drop and sea; man is God's telescope, etc. Among the five scientific and spiritual heritages of Jalaluddin Rumi, we would not be mistaken if we say that three in particular - "Masnaviyi Manaviy", "Fihi mo Fihiy" and "Devoni Shamsi Tabrizi" are the rarest source of human philosophy. The main theme of all his works is man, human existence, his inner spiritual and spiritual world, its conflicts, harmony and disagreements, dreams, passion, love, pain, imperfection, and the ways to achieve perfection are covered with logical consistency. In this regard, Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi's work "Majolisi Saba" - "Seven Meetings" is also important. As the name suggests, it is a work created from recording the sermons of seven meetings of Rumi. The core of the work is "drop" (man), "sea" (Allah) and "movement". In fact, from the prophet to the common people, from the genius to the doctor and teacher, from the old man to the baby, from the white person to the black person, from the king to the poor, everyone is like drops of Rumi. But the drops are different. The sea is God, the Creator. One of Rumi's greatest achievements is his indifference. If every person living on earth differs from the other in forms, in essence their needs, outlook, beliefs, desires, dreams are similar, they enrich each other. The most important thing is to accept a person as much as possible. He was able to show his positive and negative sides, his flaws and his achievements. He tries to show people the ways to open the eyes of the soul gently, without hurting their hearts and pride.

Hakikat dan Nestapa Manusia Modern Perspektif Jalaluddin Rumi

Some hypotheses about the nature of man that have been shaped by various experts have reflected man's understanding of himself. Nevertheless, this understanding of human nature has not yet reached its final (final) point. The understanding of human nature is still developing today, so that an understanding of human nature can improve or perfect human science throughout intellectual history. Using philosophical and sufistic approaches or Islamic mysticism, this article will illustrate the idea of human nature according to jalaluddin Rumi's unusual view. The purpose of this study is to understand and analyze the nature of human beings simply in the sufistic teachings of Jalaluddin Rumi. The decision to choose Jalaluddin Rumi's sufistic approach as the object of study to understand the nature of man was caused by the human condition that had brought himself to lose the eschatologically lost meaning and motivation behind his own life. This research includes qualitative research using a library research approach to several primary and secondary literature. The results of this study show that the true nature of man lies in the part of his spirit (soul). The crisis that occurs in modern man today is a spiritual drought that has lost its true essence as a man created by God. For this reason, this study concludes that man must strive to trace his own spiritual essence, in order to always be a human being who is appointed by Allah Swt.

Ottoman Tradition in The Post-Ottoman Times: A Century of Translating The Mathnawi into Bosnian

This article examines the reception of Jalaluddin Rumi's Mathnawi in post-Ottoman Bosnia and Herzegovina through the hitherto published translations of that work in the Bosnian language. The authors inspect the Bosnian translations of the Mathnawi according to contemporary translation studies, the retranslation and relay translation studies in particular. Following the survey and analysis, the authors conclude that the translation of the Mathnawi into the Bosnian language cannot be regarded as a linear historical progression because the process itself reveals a complex and multilayered relationship of the local culture towards the Mathnawi. The principal incentive for the translation of Rumi's masterpiece has been an age-old Ottoman tradition of interpreting the Mathnawi, dating back to the 16th century. This is observable in the translators' approach to the text, their insistence upon the contents at the expense of its poetic features, as well as their repeated invocation of the tradition of oral interpretation of verses, and frequent reliance upon the earlier Turkish translations of the Mathnawi and its commentaries composed in the Ottoman times.

The Concept Of Love In Sufism

This research aimed to reveal and explain the concept of love in Sufism. In the perspective of Sufism, God's love precedes humans' love for their God because if God has loved them, as His servants, then they can never reject His love because that love comes first from God. Love in the tradition of Sufism is a great stage (maqamat) for the man to know and get closer to God. This research uses qualitative research approach. This approach serves to interpret, express, and explain the concept of Sufism about love. It is library research, with the primary data source is the work of the Sufi-poets like Jalaluddin Rumi and Imam Al-Ghazali. The results of this research used Al-Ghazali’s notion of love which is: 1) self-love, 2) love caused by the advantages derived from the object of the beloved, 3) love caused by goodness and beauty, 4) love inspired by kindness and beauty in moral meaning, 5) love born because of munaasabah or secret affinity.

Women in the Perspective of Mahabbah through a Selection of Mawar Safei’s Latest Short Stories

This article discusses the inclination in Mawar Safei’s latest short stories to promote Islamic spirituality through her female characters. This inclination was confirmed and recommended to obtain new insight in female character-building by a female writer. The female characters in her works opened the door for a wider discussion for scholars of Malay Literature. On average, studies on this topic generally address the same problem: the need to elevate the role of female characters within an Islamic context. There are three dominant polemical strands within the effort to dignify female characters within the Islamic context. Firstly, with reference to research findings that acknowledges significant Malay-Muslim female characters within a Western intellectual model. Secondly, the opposition to and rejection of Western framework by local scholars in their study of Malay-Muslim female characters. Thirdly, the injustice in providing justification for the aspirations of female characters within the works of female writers themselves. Following these polemical strands, this study opts to discuss female characters through an Islamic-based analytical framework, the Mahabbah (Love of Allah) to strengthen the Islamic identity within Malay Literature studies. The discussion on female characters through the Mahabbah concept then focuses on the works of female writers, with the selection of Mawar Safei as one of the more prolific female writers, active in her promotion of Islamic and tasawwuf values in her works. The Mahabbah concept as applied in this study is taken from the Mahabbah concept by Jalaluddin Rumi that offered concepts of Mahabatullah (Love of Allah). This concept is then applied to the four latest short stories of Mawar Safei: (Cinta, 2020; Pencinta, 2020; Ibrahim, 2020; Ephesus, 2021). The analysis and findings of this study conclude that the female characters in Mawar Safie’s works reflect the female character par excellence in their expression of the love of the Divine. The Islamic spiritual education reflected in Mawar Safie's short stories further also contributes to efforts in helping the community and youth, especially women, to build a high personality and spirituality. The reflection of the superiority of women's personalities sketched by Mawar Safei’s in turn can form a circle of civilized and prudent society.

Sufi turning and the spirituality of sacred space

ABSTRACT Sufism, the mystical dimension of Islam, has long included in its sema/sama – the worship ceremony – animated practices and performances, notably the use of sound and movement to express spiritual states, which is not favored by more traditional/conventional denominations of Islam. Sufis encourage song and chant, dance and movement, and other demonstrative exhibitions of faith, as palpable demonstrations of ecstatic love and spiritual joy in communion with the Divine. One of the most notable Sufis in the history of Islam is Jalaluddin Rumi (CE 1207–1273) – or, simply, Rumi – who founded a Sufi order known popularly as the Whirling Dervishes. The dervishes adhere to a meditative practice that Rumi encouraged as part of the sema/sama, the ‘dance’ of whirling, or turning. Sufi turning is a devotional expression of dhikr, the remembrance and contemplation of God. This essay discusses how the entranced spinning of the deliberately structured Sufi body (head, hands, arms, torso) can transform a secular/profane place into a space of mystical encounter with the Divine as the dervish whirls in continuous circles around the invisible axis that binds the Sufi to Allah. The essay will draw on the poetry and prose of Rumi to illustrate the transformation of indeterminate place to sanctified space.

KONSEP KOSMOLOGI MENURUT JALALUDDIN RUMI DAN IMPLIKASINYA TERHADAP CARA MEMPERLAKUKAN ALAM SEMESTA

The talk of cosmology is a very interesting matter. Because studied by scientists, theologians and also Sufis. Cosmology according to Annaemarie Schimmel is categorized as Islamic mysticism.

The purpose of this research is to study or analyze Jalaluddin Rumi's concept of cosmology and its implications for how to treat the universe. This research is a research library (library research), using the description method. Then the analysis uses the historical continuity method. And continued with the internal communication method, with this method the works of Jalaluddin Rumi were analyzed. The result of this research is cosmology according to Jalaluddin Rumi that Allah SWT created this universe as a mirror of Himself, because all of this creation is none other than His tajalli. Allah, who was previously a hidden treasure, then manifests, appears and appears in His creation. Then Rumi also said that the motive for the creation of nature by God is love. It is love that prompted God to create nature. The implication of how to treat the universe is that humans must protect nature such as taking care of themselves, communicating well with nature, and not destroying the existing order of life.

The Development of Psychological Ideas in Sufi sm: Application of Rumi’s Heritage in Psychological Consulting and Therapy in Turkey

The article discusses the issues on how Sufi sm can be related to modern Psychology, in particular, and on how the ideas of Jalaluddin Rumi are integrated into the psychological knowledge in modern Turkey and on how his works are applied in psychological counseling by modern Turkish psychologists. The article analyzes the main methods of applying Rumi's heritage such as Bibliotherapy and Sema (Dervish dance) as therapeutic methods both in group and individual therapy. Moreover, the paper provides a brief analysis of the seminal works by modern Turkish psychologists who use Sufi poem Masnavi and other texts by Rumi in therapy. As a conclusion, the article states that this approach can also be applied in Russian realities and is of interest to the modern Psychology in Russia for a number of reasons, including the growing interest in Sufi sm in the world; the presence of Sufi communities in Russia, which are actively developing, especially in the Caucasus region; active spread of Islamic Psychology in the world. There is little information on this topic in Russian, most of the papers are published in the Turkish language. Thus, studying the problem within this language will make it possible to fi ll the gaps in this area of research.
