"Abū ʻAbd al-Raḥmān al-Sulamī (d. 412 AH / 1021 CE) was one of the foremost representatives of early Sufism who influenced successive generations through his many disciples and through his writings. 'Jawāmiʻ Ādāb al-Ṣūfiyya', of which 'A Collection of Sufi Rules of Conduct' is the first English translation, was one of the first attempts to provide an accurate formulation of Sufi beliefs and manners (ādāb) and to show their compatibility with the Qurʼān and the example of the Prophet. The many sayings and maxims collected by Sulamī represent the views of more than five generations of mystics and give us insight into Sufi thought up till the beginning of the eleventh century. 'A Collection of Sufi Rules of Conduct' is both a Sufi treatise and a miscellany of universal ethics. By plunging the reader into the heart of the Islamic spiritual tradition and engaging him with its beautiful aphorisms and moral sayings, it propounds the idea that the Sufi, and by extension every human being, should constantly strive towards attaining total harmony between his exterior conduct and his intimate relationship with God. The translation of 'A Collection of Sufi Rules of Conduct' is preceded by an introduction which places Sulamī in his historical, literary and religious context, and which situates the text within the traditions of Arabic literature and Islamic mysticism. The translation is fully annotated and is followed by a glosssary of Sufi technical terms"--Publisher's description, back cover.
Islam adalah agama rahmatan lil 'alamin, nilai-nilai ajarannya selalu dapat diterima pada setiap zaman. Ajaran Islam itu tinggi dan tidak ada yang bisa menandinginya, sehingga merupakan suatu hal yang bijak jika pemerintah menjadikan pendidikan agama Islam menjadi salah satu komponen yang dipelajari secara berkesinambungan dalam dunia pendidikan normal di Indonesia. Bahkan menjadi mata pelajaran wajib di tingkat pendidikan dasar, menengah, dan mata kuliah wajib pada perguruan tinggi, sekalipun pada perguruan tinggi umum. Pada dasarnya pendidikan agama di perguruan tinggi merupakan kelanjutan dari pendidikan agama yang dilaksanakan pada jenjang pendidikan sebelumnya. Perguruan tinggi umum telah terukir dalam sejarah pendidikan di tanah air sejak awal hadirnya perguruan tinggi di negeri ini. Bermula dari mata kuliah yang dianggap kehadirannya tidak diperlukan hingga dijadikan sebagai mata kuliah wajib.
