Studi Komparatif Pemikiran Tasawuf al-Gazālī dan Ibn Taimiyah

<p><strong><em>Abstract: </em></strong><em>Al-Gazālī plays an important role in purifying Sufism and directing it into the right path of Islam. Prior to his time, many people misunderstood Sufism. While some of them were concerned only with sufi theories but lost its practices, some others simply practiced Sufism without sufficient knowledge. In his time, where splits of religious sects and disintegration spread among Muslims, he emerged to offer his notion that integrates Sufi concepts of intuition, knowledge and spiritual path to achieve the highest objective of happiness. He himself reached these sufi paths through several stages in his life and spirituality. Meanwhile Ibn Taymiyya acknowledges the validity of experimental sufi but encourages a method of external examination, namely the basic teachings of Islam, to examine the validity of Sufism. According to him, Sufism is a form of religious expressions that must be built on the Qur’an and Sunna and has to refer to the practices of the Companions.</em></p><p><strong><em>Abstrak</em></strong><strong>: </strong><em>al-Gazālī berjasa besar dalam melakukan purifikasi ilmu tasawuf dan menariknya kembali ke pangkuan Islam. Sebelum itu banyak orang yang salah memahaminya. Di tengah gejolak dan disintegrasi keislaman antar berbagai sekte dalam tubuh umat Islam al-Gazālī tampil dengan konsepnya yang memadukan antara teori</em> dhawq<em> (rasa/intuisi)</em> ma‘rifah <em>dan</em> tharīqah rū╪iyah <em>(jalan spiritual) menuju</em> al-sa‘ādah <em>(kebahagiaan). Sementara </em><em>Ibn Taimiyah mengakui keabsahan metode eksperimental tasawuf, tapi ia menyarankan agar tasawuf juga mempergunakan validitas eksternal untuk menguji kebenaran konsepnya. validitas eksternal yang dimaksud adalah ajaran pokok yang ada dalam Islam. Inti dari pandangan Ibn Taimiyah tentang tasawuf adalah bahwa ia (tasawuf) merupakan perpanjangan dari agama Islam yang secara normatif harus bersumber dari al-Qur’an dan Sunnah dan secara historis aplikatif harus merujuk pada keteladanan para sahabat.</em></p>
