The process of spiritual transformation to attain Nafs al-muṭmaʾinnah in Islamic psychology

Positive changes or transformations have been the subject of study within spiritual traditions as well as humanistic and transpersonal psychology. The aim of the current study is to understand the process of transformation among Moslems in Indonesia, who follow spiritual practices, to achieve the nafs al-muṭma ínnah [tranquil self]. Ten participants in Yogyakarta province were involved in this study. They were recruited using nafs al-muṭmaʾinnah scale developed by the authors. In-depth interviews of both the participants and their significant others were conducted. To analyse the data, an interpretative phenomenological analysis was employed. Five themes emerged from the data, including deviation from the basis of religious environment, spiritual discipline, transformative experiences, new characters and a continuous process. We conclude that participants experience spiritual-religious transformation and achieve the state of nafs al-muṭma ínnah [tranquil self]. The process of transformation occurs gradually after a sudden experience, and it continuously happens throughout the course of life. Three factors contribute to the transformation, including the role of predisposition, the role of a spiritual guide and the role of spiritual experiences.Contribution: As the study of spiritual-religious transformation is mainly conducted within a Judea-Christian tradition, this study significantly contributes to the literature by providing spiritual-religious transformation from an Islamic-Sufi perspective.

Sharia Banking Dynamics and the Macroeconomic Responses: Evidence from Indonesia

Sharia banking industry in Indonesia has been established since early 1990s and growing remarkably after 1998. How the industry contributed to the Indonesian economy and what shocks drove the sharia banks' financing in Indonesia were investigated in this paper using a Structural Vector Auto-regression (SVAR) model with recursive short run restrictions as its identification strategy. The results showed that GDP growth, core inflation, and business activity responded to increase in sharia banks' financing positively, but with lags. Expanding sharia financing by 1 per cent boosted up GDP growth by 0.06 per cent. In the short-run, the contribution of sharia banks' financing to the macroeconomic variables was limited, but it then escalated in the long run with the main channel of transmission through its ability to drive people's purchasing power. Another result showed that sharia banks' financing had a negative relationship with the central bank's monetary policy. In order to improve the performance of sharia banking in Indonesia, the demands of domestic sharia financing have to be strengthened with regards to the large number of Moslems in Indonesia. At the same time, Islamic banks have to improve their business processes. Rather than capping their profit margins or murabahah-based financing, they should promote more profit sharing mudharabah-based financing with prioritizing principle of mutual help among Moslems.

“The Unity of Moderate Moslems and Deradicalization Process in Indonesia”

Abstract: This paper, that would be presented in International Conference on Contemporary Perspectives of Social Science, Humanities, and Education, Dar El-Diafa, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt, 24-26 April 2018, begins with an understanding of Radicalism itself that is linked to the history of Islam, the history of human rights, and the actual issues that have occurred in the Middle East. The paper has an initial hypothesis that religious-based radicalism can only be terminated through the concept of the unity of moderate people, for example if the Radicalism is using Islam, so that the moderate moslems must be united to counter the radicalists. Therefore, this paper will be analyzed through primary data from peaceful verses of the Qur'an. To answer the religion-based thought, this paper is using the theory of Religious as Mobilization. In conclusion later, the speakers will speak about Deradicalization strategy to be implemented in Indonesia based on the spirit of moderate moslems in Indonesia. Deradicalization strategy is part of Indonesian national defense system since Bali Bombing 2002. Although officials had detected the links of terrorism, the action was happening again in the beginning of 2015 with Thamrin Bomb. The involvement of civilians to end terrorism link is regarded as important as officials and police officers, because the actors of bombing are civilians, and sometimes they had targeted police buildings. In principle, the unity of moderate people is regarded as the weapon to counter radicalists, especially if the moderate people are coming from the civilians, scholar, academicians, and other important sectors, because they can influence young generation to abort all radical ideology and can participate in national defense system itself to end radicalism thought in Indonesia.
