THE CONCEPT OF HAPPINESS IN GIVING ALMS ACCORDING TO THE QUR'AN FROM A RELIGIOUS PSYCHOLOGY PERSPECTIVE

The path to achieving happiness in life of each individual has its own uniqueness and way. Many feel happy but there is still a sense of anxiety in their hearts, happy simply because the happiness they get is not the ultimate happiness. In Islam, the real happiness is the happiness of ma'rifatullah. One way to get it is to give alms to others in need. Happiness is achieved by abstinence from various physical pleasures. Those who have attained a high level of holiness are the ones who obtain good fortune and happiness. The research used in this study is a type of literature study research with a qualitative descriptive analysis approach. The data sources used in this study are secondary data sources. The result of this research is that to achieve true happiness, humans can establish a good relationship with the Creator, one of which is by giving alms with the intention of lillah (because of Allah) not because they want to be seen or known by others. According to religious psychology, happiness can be achieved by getting closer to Allah such as self-muhasabah, gratitude, and almsgiving.

Integration as the goal of indigenization: The cross-cultural psychology of Durganand Sinha.

Durganand Sinha (1922-1998) was an important Indian cross-cultural psychologist whose research spanned half a century. In commemoration of Sinha's passing 25 years ago, I explore in this essay his vision of the integration of Hindu religious psychology and Western scientific psychology. In the first part of the discussion, I consider a brief history of the interaction between Indian cultures and Western scientific psychology. In the second part, I next consider the proposal of Sinha that outlines various approaches that researchers might take with respect to the indigenization of scientific psychology. In the third part, I consider Sinha's discussion of integration as the expected outcome of the process of indigenization. Sinha indicates that when a researcher establishes a successful integrated cultural research paradigm in this way, it can serve as a framework for future researchers.

Din Maneviyat Tartışmaları Açısından Hilmi Ziya Ülken’in ‘Anadolu Tarihinde Dini Ruhiyat Müşahedeleri’ İsimli Makalesinin Değerlendirilmesi

One of the pioneering works in the history of religious psychology in Turkey is the article titled "Observations of Religious Psychology in Anatolian History." This article was published on June 1, 1924 (Hijri-1340) in the 13th-14th issue of the Mihrap Magazine and was written by Hilmi Ziya ULKEN. The presentations in this work were created, taking into account current topics in the psychology of religion, based on both the Ottoman Turkish original and the contemporary translation of the article. With this study, a contemporary interpretation of this century-old Ottoman Turkish article was made to understand its intended message, and its relevance to the present day was addressed. In this article, Ulken examines the lives and some mystical experiences of two historical mystical figures by presenting historical sources. It becomes apparent from Ulken's article that the importance of mystical experiences in Anatolian culture has continued throughout its historical process. The Anatolian people have placed value on metaphysical and Sufi/mystical elements. Ulken attempts to demonstrate that the mystical experiences in Anatolia are rooted more in Shaman culture than Buddhist culture and that this tradition continued during the Ottoman era. What Ulken described a century ago in this article reminds us that the quest for meaning and spirituality in contemporary psychology of religion is universal. On the other hand, in the West, some individuals searching for spirituality have stated that they do not belong to any particular religious tradition, leading to debates about changing the name of psychology of religion to "spiritual psychology." However, Ulken's attempt to show that the quest for spirituality in Anatolia, although occasionally reflecting Shaman culture, is not independent of religious traditions, demonstrates that spirituality in Anatolia is not divorced from religion, in contrast to the West. In conclusion, when examining debates in Western psychology of religion, it is important to focus on the universality of the field and make better use of past works and historical figures in Anatolian culture, rather than simply imitating Western developments. This article by Ulken is one of the Works that can help in in this regard. Key Words: Hilmi Ziya Ulken, Religious Spirituality, Mysticism, Search for Meaning, Spirituality.

Guilt and Shame As a Result of Violating Beliefs: “Moral Injury”

This study on moral injury, which has a content as old as the history of humanity, is believed to contribute significantly to the relevant literature. Despite the limited number of sources in the literature on the subject, which are mostly related to veterans with war experience or limited to the field of religious psychology, this study is expected to fill the gap and provide valuable insights. The study attempted to clarify the distinction between moral injury, which involves a psychological injury caused by a dilemma, and post-traumatic stress disorder, which shares similar features with moral injury and arises after experiencing a traumatic event. As part of this study, psychotherapy approaches within the scope of interventions for the symptoms of moral injury were also included and the issue was tried to be addressed from a mental health perspective. In this context, “mindfulness-oriented meditation”, “self- compassion”, “spiritually-oriented counseling”, and “work focused on forgiving oneself and others”, whose effectiveness has been tested, are included. The issue of moral injury was addressed with psychology- spirituality dimensions; the scope of the study was further expanded with intervention-treatment titles. This study summarizes moral injury’s conceptual framework and focuses on interventions and treatment approaches. As a result, the concept of moral injury was addressed holistically and contributed to the conceptual framework.

The Dimensions of Spirituality Inventory

The Dimensions of Spirituality Inventory (DSI) is a 50-item quantitative assessment of spirituality. Whereas “spirituality” has seemed to some to be too vague for research purposes, the DSI follows earlier qualitative research in showing that usage of the word points to an intelligible conceptual structure. Instead of defining spirituality and then operationalizing it, as most extant instruments do, the DSI defines and operationalizes 21 relatively uncontroversial elemental components of spirituality, so the overall interpretation of spirituality can only emerge after factor analysis. Just as an alphabet flexibly expresses words and sentences, so the 21 DSI dimensions permit the discovery of latent constructs corresponding to cultural packages of spirituality at the present time. The DSI avoids culturally parochial formulations of items, thanks to intense multidisciplinary engagement among social scientists, scholars of religion, and psychologists of religion, and thus is suitable for cross-cultural application. This paper reports on a study based on a participant pool recruited for ExploringMyReligion.org , in part from Prolific (N = 820, after culling unreliable responses). The DSI is interpreted and validated in relation to several other relevant measures, and the factor analysis is strongly resonant with prior qualitative studies. The psychometric properties of the DSI make it usable as an overall spirituality scale as well as a sensitive inventory of types and configurations of spirituality.

The Development of the Self and Environmental Motivations Among Veiled Muslims in South Kalimantan, Indonesia

Muslim women who cover their faces have gained popularity on Indonesian social media, which has prompted debate. Opinions have ranged from criticism of the veil’s exclusivity and religious exaggeration to associations between those who cover their faces and extremist Islamic activities. By communicating with veiled Muslim women in South Kalimantan, this paper aimed to shed light on these women and their relationship with wearing veils. The respondents were women in Banjarbaru, Banjarmasin, and Banjar Regency, aged between 30 and 50. They were interviewed, and the data went through descriptive-qualitative analysis. The methodology employed was qualitative with a religious psychology approach. The results showed that wearing the veil as an adult emphasised three factors: self-knowledge, self-assessment, and self-expectation, all of which are geared toward protecting oneself and gaining the same understanding as other Muslim women.

“He Recited in a Low Voice the Splendid Hymns of the Roman Church”: Sir Walter Scott and Catholic Romanticism in the Thought of Henri Bremond

“He Recited in a Low Voice the Splendid Hymns of the Roman Church”Sir Walter Scott and Catholic Romanticism in the Thought of Henri Bremond Peter Gorday (bio) Keywords Henri Bremond, Sir Walter Scott, Waverley novels, Romanticism, Catholic Romanticism, conservative romanticism Henri Bremond (1865–1933), Roman Catholic Modernist,1 often described as a Catholic “romantic,”2 loved the novels of Sir Walter Scott and gave them substantial critical attention on three different occasions and in three different modes. In an essay of 1914, in which he anticipated the twentieth century’s renewed appreciation for Scott’s craftmanship, and which he published just as the first volume of his famous Histoire littéraire du sentiment religieux en France depuis la fin des guerres de religion jusqu’à nos jours3 was set to appear, Bremond celebrated Scott as representative of the true spirit of romanticism in literature. In 1923, in a second appreciation, he interpreted Scott’s work as an embodiment of the spirit of a genuinely Catholic romanticism, a romanticism in which the very nature of faith itself, rightly understood, hangs in the balance. And then in 1932, and as a kind of final summary of his insight into the nature of Scott’s spirituality, Bremond sketched Scott’s complexity as a religiously sensitive individual, Catholic in spirit though never an actual convert. We can, therefore, track the development of Bremond’s perspective on Walter Scott and [End Page 74] his novels through what I shall call the literary, the theological, and the biographical modes, obtaining thereby a nuanced picture of the inspiration that Bremond derived from Walter Scott in his own quest to be a true “Catholic romantic.” That same inspiration as Bremond understood it can serve us as well. The first two essays have virtually the same text but with different imports, since they were published in quite different contexts: “Walter Scott et le romantisme conservateur,” with the subtitle “À propos du centenaire de ‘Waverley’,” appeared just as World War I was to begin.4 Later, paired with a much earlier essay on the work of the novelist Maurice Barrès, and with slight revisions, and as he was about to be admitted to the Académie française, Bremond included it in his collection Pour le romantisme,5 where it is retitled more simply “Le romantisme conservateur, I. Walter Scott.” He composed the third and shortest piece, “Le centenaire d’un grand romancier-poète: Walter Scott et l’Église,” shortly before his own death, for the newspaper, La Vie catholique,6 and, I will argue, for the benefit of its liberal Catholic publisher Francisque Gay. As general background, we should recall that in his life itinerary Bremond had long been enamored of British nineteenth-century literature. Beginning with childhood experiences in which his literary-minded mother had introduced him to Victorian novels, including those of Scott (thus an indirect reminder of the status of Scott’s writing at that time as suitable primarily for children)7, continuing with his time of formation in England as a Jesuit, and through the period of his editorial activity at the Parisian Jesuit journal Études from 1899 to 1904, Bremond produced a series of affectionate review-essays on British and American authors. His passion for the work of John Henry Newman grew apace, and he was very aware of Scott’s influence on the cardinal in his Anglican days, as well as on the Oxford Anglo-Catholics in general. After 1904 and his departure from the Jesuit order, Bremond’s critical essays would continue for some years in several journals, most notably the liberal Catholic Le Correspondant. Bruno Neveu has argued that the overall effect on Bremond of these English [End Page 75] writers was to stimulate his path to a lifelong preoccupation with “religious psychology,”8 while Émile Goichot has underlined the role played for Bremond by three British Protestant free-thinkers, the “prophets from outside.”9 As Bremond’s interests turned increasingly to the history of French Catholic spirituality, his 1914 essay on Scott would be the last of his major interpretations of English language novels—though not the end of his fondness for Scott or of British...

within university students". The relations between piety and psychological well-being are examined with both theoretical and empirical methods especially in the Western world. It is possible to come across compatible as well as incompatible information and findings in the literature questioning how the relationship between piety and psychological well-being is structured and the direction of this relationship. This is a matter of how the individual perceives religion and makes sense of it.

[Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana teologi dan budaya mempengaruhi sikap dan perilaku nasionalisme orang Yahudi di Sulawesi Utara. Pertanyaan itu muncul karena Yudaisme memiliki ajaran tentang Tanah Perjanjian, tempat yang selalu dinanti oleh orang-orang Yahudi di negara diaspora. Penelitian kualitatif ini menggunakan purposive sampling dengan menggunakan pendekatan Psikologi Lintas Budaya dan Agama. Pengumpulan data mengutamakan wawancara dari tokoh-tokoh Yahudi dan pengikutnya di Sulawesi Utara dan para tokoh agama non-Yahudi, kemudian dilengkapi dengan dokumen, dan studi literatur. Analisis data terdiri dari reduksi data, eksplorasi, dan verifikasi. Langkah terakhir adalah kontekstualisasi data dengan menggabungkan data penelitian lapangan dan perpustakaan. Studi ini menemukan bahwa orang-orang Yahudi di Sulawesi Utara menyimpan kerinduan akan Tanah Perjanjian, tetapi itu tidak menghalangi pertumbuhan semangat nasionalisme dan kesetiaan mereka kepada Republik Indonesia. Lebih jauh lagi, nasionalisme mereka yang kuat terhadap Indonesia, dan pendekatan objektif terhadap Tanah Perjanjian membuktikan kesetiaan mereka kepada Taurat. Penelitian ini juga menemukan, di balik kesan eksklusif orang Yahudi, ajaran mereka di sana memiliki visi yang sangat pluralis dan inklusif. Studi ini menyimpulkan, anggapan bahwa orang Yahudi di Sulawesi Utara akan menghadapi masalah kesetiaan kepada Republik Indonesia tampaknya tidak terbukti, karena mereka dapat menafsirkan iman mereka secara fleksibel dan rasional.]
