Description
Summary:<p><em> </em><em>Sufism is one of the branch of Islamic disciplines that grows significantly and becomes an inseperable subject of Islamic scholarship. Sufism is personal spiritual experience that emphasises more on feeling than logic. Therefore it is often named as a knowledge of taste (dwauq). Such emphasize on inner dimension of human faculties often creates tension between sufism and modern life which venerates materials, competition, intrigue, deception, greedy, and attachment of worldly life. The tension occurs mainly because sufism do stress on humble and modest life, escape from worldly life, all of which are relevant to traditional society rather than rational and modern ones. However, in contrast to such widely presumed tension, sufism remains urgent for modern life because it becomes spiritual injection for human matters related to modern life and helps resolve problems of materialistically secular, individual and hedonistic life. </em></p><p><em>Abstrak</em><em>:</em><em> T</em><em>asawuf merupakan salah satu disiplin keilmuan yang tumbuh dan menjadi bagian dari tradisi kajian Islam. </em><em>Tasawuf merupakan bentuk pengalaman spiritualitas seseorang yang lebih menekankan pada “rasa” daripada “rasio”, bahkan sering disebut  ilmu rasa (dzawq). Penekanan pada aspek batiniah itulah yang menjadikan ajaran tasawuf sering dianggap “berseberangan” dengan nilai-nilai hidup masya­ra­kat modern yang lebih banyak bermuatan glamor, pemujaan materi, per­saingan keras yang dipenuhi intrik dan tipu daya, keserakahan, cinta dunia, dan lain-lain. Hal itu dikarenakan tasawuf lebih menekankan pada kerendahan hati, kehidupan yang sederhana, zuhud terhadap dunia, cinta sejati tanpa pamrih, dan lain-lain yang seakan-akan hanya cocok untuk diaplikasikan pada pola hidup tradisional. Karakteristik itulah yang justru menjadikan t</em><em>asawuf tetap urgen bagi masyarakat modern karena tasawuf bisa memberikan kesejukan batin dan disiplin syari’ah sekaligus, sehingga bisa menjadi pintu keluar bagi problema masyarakat modern yang cenderung sekuler, individual, materialistis, dan hedonistis.</em></p>
