Amidst the social-cultural predominance of male ulama in the religious context, female ulama play important roles and yet are often trapped in life-role complexity and gender bias, as they have a responsibility in both the domestic and public domains. This study aims to explore the meaning of the experience of gratitude among female ulama based on the perspective of positive psychology, with reference to the PERMA (Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationship, Meaning, and Accomplishment) model, with further interpretation of gratitude (shukr) from Sufi psychology. Using a qualitative (phenomenological) approach, we held online in-depth interviews with five female ulama participants from across Indonesia and Germany. The research demonstrates the interconnection between themes related to gratitude according to PERMA-Model and the embodiment of gratitude (shukr) in Sufi psychology. These findings provide evidence to support the practical implication of the integrative intervention of positive and Sufi psychology for clinical purposes or to promote flourishing and well-being among women.

Sains modern mendapat respon yang beragam dari Agamawan. Hal ini dilatarbelkangi oleh pembacaan terhadap teks-teks agama yang seringkali tidak sejalan dengan penelitian sains mutakhir. Kemajuan sains tidak terhubung dengan peningkatan spiritualitas. Spiritualitas menjadi dimensi lain dari sains. Dalam situasi tersebut, teori integrasi Ian G. Barbour mencoba untuk mengurai pola-pola relasi sains modern dan agama. Ada empat jenis relasi: konflik; independen; dialog; dan integrasi. Pendekatan tersebut jarang diimplementasikan dalam ranah kajian studi Islam (Islamic Studies). Penelitian ini berupaya mengimplementasikan pendekatan tersebut dalam studi Islam dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif-analitis. Penulis mendapati kecederungan ilmuan muslim lebih dominan pada eksplorasi kajian keislaman daripada sains. Sehingga relasi dominan antara sains dan agama adalah konflik; dialog dan teologi alam. Faktor yang melatarbelakanginya adalah latar belakang pendidikan ilmuwan muslim yang dominan kajian keagamaan; keterbatasan studi interdisipliner dan kurangnya keterbukaan dan pembaruan cara pandang (tajdīd) terhadap teks keagamaan.
