NAHWU SUFI

Linguistik Arab dalam Perspektif Tasawuf

Kitab Munyatu al-Faqir al-Mutajarrid wa Siratu al-Murid al-Mutafarrid merupakan ringkasan kajian nahwu sufi kitab al-Futuhat al-Qudsiyah fi Syarh al-Ajrumiyah karya Ibnu ‘Ujaibah. Penjelasan-penjelasan tasawuf melalui kitab nahwu menuntut para pengkaji untuk menelaah tidak hanya dari satu perspektif ilmu pengetahuan, ia membutuhkan pengetahuan yang mendalam seputar nahwu non-sufistik dan pra-wacana mengenai ilmu tasawuf. Nahwu Sufi telah menempuh cara berpikir sufistik sebagaimana yang telah ditetapkan oleh para ulama sufi, yaitu penafsiran nahwu yang tidak seluruhnya disandarkan pada teks atau logika. Oleh karena itu, karakteristik Nahwu Sufi adalah An-Nahwu Al-Isyari, artinya nahwu dijelaskan melalui metode penafsiran yang berpegang pada metode simbolis yang tidak berhenti hanya pada aspek kebahasaan saja. Nahwu Sufi menjelaskan tentang istilah-istilah dalam nahwu yang berbeda dengan maknanya secara zahir berdasarkan isyarat atau petunjuk yang diterima oleh para ahli sufi. Ulama Sufi mengklaim bahwa metode penafsiran dalam nahwu sufi merupakan metode interpretasi yang valid, yang dibangun atas dualitas makna zahir dan batin. Kebenaran pemikiran sufi hanyalah sufi itu sendiri. Nahwu Sufi dari mulai pengertian tentang kalam sampai majzumat, pada intinya menjelaskan tentang kondisi hati dan jiwa seorang hamba yang memulai perjalanan tasawufnya (suluk), dimulai dari tingkatan zauq, syurb, sahwu, hingga sampai pada tingkatan mukasyafah dan ru’ya. Bahasa Arab adalah bahasa yang spesial. Sebab, dari beribu-ribu bahasa yang ada, ia terpilih sebagai wadah dari wahyu Tuhan yang terakhir bernama al-Qur’an. Tingkat sastra yang sangat tinggi juga menjadikan bahasa Arab dalam al-Qur’an sebagai mukjizat terbesar bagi Muhammad.Terpilihnya bahasa Arab sebagai bahasa al-Qur’an awalnya memang hak preogratif Tuhan. Namun lebih dari itu, hikmah terpilihnya Arab sebagai bahasa mukjizat adalah karena ia memiliki kualitas yang lebih dibanding bahasa-bahasa lainnya. Baik secara kandungan makna dalam kata dan juga tata bahasanya. Sehingga, bisa dikatakan bahasa arab sangat kental dengan nuansa teologis. Kandungan-kandungan istimewa dalam bahasa arab itu rupanya dipahami betul oleh Syaikh Al-Kuhin, sehingga ia mencoba menyingkap bukan hanya “makna dekat”, tapi juga “makna jauh” yang terdapat dalam tata bahasa arab yang sudah terangkum dalam kitab al-jurumiyah. simbol-simbol yang terdapat di dalamnya digunakan Al-Kuhany untuk mengungkapkan realitas dan pengalaman spiritual. Ia melukiskan rahasia di balik eksplorasi pemakaian obyek dan simbol yang diharapkan akan memiliki nilai-nilai pemaknaan yang dalam. Hingga kemudian muncul istilah nahwu lisan & hati.

Nahwu Sufi telah menempuh cara berpikir sufistik sebagaimana yang telah ditetapkan oleh para ulama sufi, yaitu penafsiran nahwu yang tidak seluruhnya disandarkan pada teks atau logika.

The Stability of Islamic Finance

Creating a Resilient Financial Environment for a Secure Future

The Stability of Islamic Finance main focus is on the question of the sources of financial instability which seems inherent in the conventional system. As a core component of this focus, the book will consider episodes of turbulence and instability in a historical context recalling the occurrence of such events from mid-19th century to the present. It will present various theoretical explanations along with solutions and alternative financial systems that avoid instability provided by various scholars dating back to mid-19th century to present. The book then will present and discuss the architecture of an Islamic financial system and show that at its core, this system shares many characteristics of an stable financial system proposed by Western scholars throughout history to avoid the inherent instability of the present dominant system. Particular emphasis will be placed on the present financial crisis and its causes as well the financial crisis of the 1997 in Southeast Asia, Russia, and Latin America relating these episodes to the fundamental features of the dominant system. The debt crisis of the low income countries will also be part of this discussion. It will then argue that these crises could be mitigated under an Islamic system or any other system with similar architecture.

It will then argue that these crises could be mitigated under an Islamic system or any other system with similar architecture. This new book by a group of four Western-trained Islamic economists is greatly welcomed.

Governance Risk Management and Financial Product Development in Islamic Financial Institutions

Master's Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,7, Maastricht University (School of Business and Economics), course: -, language: English, abstract: 1.1 General Introduction to the Topic Islamic finance is on the march. The underlying logic is simple: All investments and services are consistent with the principles of Islamic law, called Shari’ah, which literally means ‘a clear path to be followed and observed’ (Hourani, 2004a). This clear path is followed only if profit does not stem from interest (riba), speculation (gharrar) or sectors that are considered sinful according to the Qur’an (haraam), namely everything that involves alcohol, tobacco, entertainment, gambling or pork, just to name a few. The high potential of Islamic finance is clear for three reasons. The first reason relates to the emergence of a new consumer type, as there is increased demand for a Shari’ah-compliant way of investing that stems from increased globalization. The middle class from emerging markets rose from one third to 56 percent between the 1990s and 2006 (The Economist, 2009). Many Muslim countries can be found in the list of emerging markets, such as Egypt, Pakistan and Indonesia. With the Muslim population of the world exceeding 1.5 billion people (about 21 percent of the world population) and due to the fact that it is the fastest growing religion, it becomes clear why the general conditions for Islamic finance are so favourable (Central Intelligence Agency, 2009). The second reason relates to the global trend for sustainable investment; the fact that Islamic finance is an ethical way of investing which does not invest in harmful businesses and instead donates purified gains to charity is becoming more and more attractive among non-Muslim investors as well (Global Finance, 2007). The Shari’ah aspect makes Islamic financial products an alternative to socially responsible investments (Khan, 2009). The last reason is a matter of trust; in the face of the financial crisis that began shattering the world in 2007, many investors lost confidence in the traditional banks and their practices (Reuters, 2008; CNN, 2009). Today even the Holy See states that ‘the ethic principles on which Islamic finance is based may bring banks closer to their clients and to the spirit which should mark every financial service’ (Bloomberg, 2009). According to recent estimates, IFIs could increase their assets under management from roundabout $700 billion to over $1.6 trillion in 2012 (Reuters, 2009). WICHTIG: Sämtliche Recherchetätigkeiten wurden bei in den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten ansässigen islamischen Banken vor Ort durchgeführt.
