The concept of human will is one of the key elements that need to be discussed in identifying one's direction in life. Every human action is born out from his will. The concept of human will presented by Abraham Maslow is found to fulfil the necessity of life alone and is unable to achieve human satisfactions. Therefore, the position of the concept of the will of every individual is a priority highlighted in academic studies. This paper discusses the concept of human will according to al-Ghazali and Abraham Maslow, comparing the various elements highlighted by the two figures concerning human will. The study uses qualitative approach and content analysis method, and finds that the concept of human will discussed by al-Ghazali and Maslow are similar in terms of fulfilling the needs of humanity. The difference therein is noticed in terms of the means to meet those requirements to achieve self-satisfaction, the concept of acceptance and ultimate happiness.
Al-tafakkur is an important practice of using contemplative techniques, to analyze the events of Allah's creatures, to gain confidence in everything related to ma'rifah Allah in tasawwuf. A believer in Allah increases in his faith in Allah and piety through insightful and hearty contemplations. In addition, al-tafakkur is one of the ways to remembering Allah and the hereafter, to obtain patience, peace, and tranquility. The study is an analytical study based on library resources. The study finds that al-tafakkur is an important element of tasawwuf, an essential foundation that one needs to increase in ma'rifah Allah. This is because ma'rifah Allah is applied in the discipline of tasawwuf to aim for the existence of faith and piety of Allah s.w.t, which is the main pillar in the creed of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama'ah. Without iman (faith) and taqwa (piety), the Aqidah is believed to be unstable and unable to guide to the perfection of obedience to Allah. Therefore, it is worth noting that altafakkur is not merely a practice that refers to the contemplation and analysis of an incident of God's creatures; it is a special and obligatory practice in achieving ma'rifah Allah and His love as the most important part of life.
