PEMIKIRAN PSIKOLOGI ISLAM DALAM IMPLIKASI PENDIDIKAN SOSIAL

Abstract Development of psychological thought in the contemporary Islamic world background by Islamization movement science and technology. This wave is sweeping across the region, including Indonesia Muslims. Particularly in Indonesia, recent decades among Indonesian Muslim psychologists appear on the psychology of Islamic discourse. The emergence of Islamic discourse psychology can be viewed from two sides. On the one hand, this is an indication of the influence of the waves and the spirit of Islamization of science and technology that have started to emerge since the 1980s. On the other hand, is a reflection of the consciousness of most Indonesian Muslim psychologists are beginning to understand the limitations of psychology in explaining the reality of human existence in the plenary. Enthusiasm for the emergence of Islamic Psychology encourages the implementation of various symposia, seminars, and publishing a book on the psychology of Islam. But this movement is still periferial, although it should be recognized that these discourses have led to fundamental problems, or in other words, some psychologists Muslim Indonesia began in earnest to realize the limitations of psychological theories that have been established in expressing real human existence. Thus the need to conduct a study of alternatives in discussing human. To realize this, of course not impossible though not without obstacles.

Criticizing Montessori’s Method of Early Childhood Education using Islamic Psychology Perspective

This study examined critically Montessori’s concepts on early childhood education through Islamic Psychology perspective. This research used qualitative methodology with a literature approach. The results showed that (1) Montessori’s method pays more attention to the cognitive aspect of children development while children potential doesn’t only consist of cognitive, affective, and psycho-motoric aspects, but also spiritual one; (2) Reinforcement are not needed in Montessori’s method, while in Islamic Psychology, rewards can increase children's learning and punishment is needed to make children become disciplined in carrying out the rules; (3) Learning environment should be structured, in order, realistic and natural. This concept is suitable for upper class educational institutions but it would be difficult for middle-low income groups since the materials required by Montessori’s method is expensive enough. (4) Parents and teachers are required to become observers and interpreters. This role may pose problem on the part of parents and teachers since not all parents and teachers have criteria to act as is it expected by Montessori’s method.

Source of Crime in Islamic Psychological Perspective

Crime is a problem that has long occurred, even since the beginning of the fall of the prophet Adam and Eve. So far, the problem of crime is only involved in information that comes from binding laws and regulations. Crimes that have been considered crimes are only limited to individuals who are trapped in the context of mistakes without explaining the origin of the source of the crime committed. About crime also tends to be discussed in the science of criminology. In the field of criminology, W Boger himself is divided into two, namely pure criminology that breeds criminal science in criminal anthropology, criminal sociology, criminal psychology, criminal psychopathology and neuropathology and phenology while applied criminology is criminal hygiene, criminal politics and criminalism. This writing is sharpened at the source of crime in the perspective of Islamic psychology. In Islamic psychology itself, crime is basically not much different from the psychological outlook developed by Freud's psychoanalysts such as explaining between Id, Ego and Super Ego, if in Islamic psychology the source of crime can be found in Nafs explanations such as Vegetable Nafs, Animal Nafs, and Human Insights . This crime has an explicit explanation in the Animal Nafs.

FAVORITISME KELOMPOK: PERSPEKTIF AGAMA ISLAM

The issue of religious tolerance is one of the important issues in the last decade, especially among Indonesian Muslims. Basically, Islam through the concept of morals teaches compassion for humans as well as adherents of other religions. However, on the other hand, many Muslims then limit themselves to giving a positive attitude towards other religions because of fears of violating the faith. How the attitude of Islam towards other religions has been studied in the scientific study of Islam itself. However, most of the studies carried out were case studies and comparisons. While research in Islamic psychology also began to study a lot about behavior between religious groups, such as the construct of group favoritism. But not many have used the basis of a strong Islamic study as its justification. This study tries to conduct an integrative study between the study of literature from Islamic law with empirical studies of psychology. The literature study is carried out by conducting a study and comparison of various relevant references. Empirical studies were conducted by distributing questionnaires to several Islamic adolescents in Jabodetabek on a scale of group religiosity and favoritism. Furthermore, an analysis will be carried out by comparing and correlating the results of the literature and empirical studies. While the results of this study indicate that there is no group favoritism in Islam, because brotherhood for a Muslim is not only limited to fellow Muslims, but also to fellow non-Muslims or even other creatures of God.

The relationship of motivation and human behavior in the perspective of Islamic psychology that is more likely to emphasize religious motives (spiritual), both in psychological and physiological conditions of humans. motivation and behavior in Islam are very closely related to various stages in the process towards the ultimate spiritual human experience.

Stres Menurut Sarjana Barat dan Islam

Stress is a psychological symptom caused by a number of factors such as biological, medical, psychological and social. It can happen to individuals regardless of age or gender. A person in a state of stress may experience some symptoms such as anxiety, fear, shortness of breath and so on. Hence, this article aims to analyze the similarities and differences of stress from an Islamic and Western perspective. Qualitative research methods are used by performing document analysis on past stress-related studies. The results show that personality and perceptions determine a person's level of stress. Western stress experts like Hans Salye and Lazarus have concluded that extreme stress can be harmful to themselves. But simple stress can motivate one to succeed. Studies have also found that Islamic scholars such as al-Ghazali have assumed that stress is a psychological symptom usually experienced by those who have lost their relationship to Allah Almighty in addition to impure heart. This is because according to al-Ghazali, the personality of an individual depends on his relationship with Allah Almighty and his relationship with humanity. The result of the study found that the greatest difference between Western scholars and Muslims in discussing stress is that Islamic scholars have made the Quran and the Sunnah a major reference in each of their studies as well as empirical studies. On the other hand, Western scholars rely solely on empirical studies. However, in recent times the combination of psychology between Islam and the West has created a holistic and effective approach with a variety of methods of coping and preventing stress that can be applied either generally or using Islamic psychology.

WOMEN IN THE IDENTITY CRISIS OF FEMINISM; A CRITICAL ANALYSIS ON GENDER MOVEMENT BASED ON ISLAMIC PSYCHOLOGY PERSPECTIVE

<p><em>This paper attempted to analyze critically the women's movement that had been developing so far and tried to offer the ideology of the gender movement based on the values </em><em>of humanism of Islamic Psychology. This study used a qualitative methodology with a literature approach. The results showed that (1) the male clone tendency in the women's movement had actually been predicted by various parties, including by the female activists. Because of the obsession to equalize the active role of women as equal to men, the women's movement was trapped in standardizing themselves with male masculinity figures. On one hand, they rejected male domination on women, but on the other hand the ambitions of their movements are directed towards seizing the dominant patriarchal system and violating it under the authority of women. Even though Islam places women in the frame of proportionally optimistic rational roles. That is, Islam does not make women fully pretend to be 'backward' entities so that it does not allow them to gain enlightenment and Islam rejects thoughts that are too optimistic to position 'front' women as the sole determinant of their lives and must be above men. Both of these views have reduced women to fall into the destruction or glorification of human quality by ignoring the greatness and power of Sunnatullah over the surrounding conditions; (2) Acording to the values </em><em>of humanism of Islamic Psychology, the ideology of the gender movement should depart from the needs and be based on a) Women’s self-actualization rather than self-exploitation; b) Women’s Active participation rather than their mobilization and domestication. (c) Partnership rather than rivalism.</em></p>

Bullying di desantren: Interaksi Tasawuf dan Teori Pengembangan Fitrah dalam Pendidikan Islam

This study aims to explain the bullies and the victims of bullying based on Islamic psychology perspective that uses tasawuf approach (sufistic psychology) through documentation as data collecting technique. In more detail, this research is focused on strengthening the theory of the development of student’s nature as the main vision of Islamic education. Islamic education requires an explanation of sufistic psychology which does have a primary concern in developing all potential fitrah in human. Sufistic Psychology of Imam Al-Gazali summarized in Kimiyāu Al-Sa’ādah is used by researcher to read and understand the behavior of bullies and victims. Bullies are understood as individuals who have strong dominance in the power of their gaḍab so they can easily attack victims. Meanwhile, victims are understood as individuals who do not use the power of gaḍab effectively. Victims are lack of lust so that there is no courage and ability to defend themselves when faced with bullying toward them. Responding to such problem, sufistic psychology requires control over the actualization of gaḍab and syahwat without intending to kill these two potentials.
