Etika Lingkungan dalam Kosmologi Sufistik Menurut Seyeed Hossein Nasr

Abstract

Environmental Ethics of Sufism Cosmology in View of Seyeed Hossein Nasr. Sufism has unique concepts about human life. It provides the ways and methods to find the highest conscious so that the sâlikîn (the followers of sufism) can be wiser than before in any aspects, including in facing ecological crisis issues. This article tried to explore and analyze Seyeed Hossein Nars’s view on ecological ethics in sufism. Nasr’s concept derived from tawhîd (unity). Macro and micro cosmos were God’s theophany. The relation between Allah as The God and cosmos were like one face at the front of thousand mirrors. Allah is The One and there are many manifestations of his reflection. Therefore, the universe contains and accommodates the “aspects” of God. Hence, Nasr developed the concept of tawhîd became rim and axis theory. In this theory, there are similarities and likenesses with a’yan’s Mulla Sadra and al-Ghazali views. Through bashîrah (the eyes of heart), the sâlik can be khalîfah and ‘abd Allâh. Hence, damaging the cosmos also means damaging the relation with Allah.

Environmental Ethics From Perspective Of The Quran And Sunnah

“…The lack of spiritual values and the encouragement of materialism have caused environmental damage. The ecosufism movement is an expected approach as Suwito's study -of Nasr's views -in the article, Etika Lingkungan dalam Kosmologi Sufistik Menurut Seyyed Hossein Nasr" (Suwito, 2017).…”

“…They have the ability to understand nature as God's teophani. Therefore, to destroy nature means hindering the relationship with God (Suwito, 2017). The impact associated with the destruction of the human relationship with nature also leads to social damages, because nature does not only become certain individuals or groups with natural ecosystems.…”

The Future of Water: Technology, Challenges, and Islamic Perspective

“…Water in reality is related to bathing and health. Islam, seen from this aspect, has placed water as something essential for maintaining health, individual hygiene and general health (Suwito, 2017).…”

“…Relating to water in any context needs to be maintained and preserved as part of nature. It is necessary to build awareness that to make peace with nature (earth) one must make peace with the spiritual order, the spiritual order (sky) (S. H. Nasr, 1968;Suwito, 2017). Based on the experience and learning process of modern science as well as traditional religious knowledge about nature, it is suspected that the main factors causing the environmental crisis, including water, are related to spiritual problems.…”

“…A theory that has developed in the Islamic world to explain the future sustainability of nature is called eco-Sufism which builds spiritual awareness by interpreting interactions between systems of existence, especially in nature (Ituma, 2003). The position of nature is used as a way to get closer to God (Bisri, 2011;Suwito, 2017) (Suwito, 2017;Bisri, 2011). Eco-Sufism seeks the process of transformation from spiritual awareness to ecological awareness with the aim of universal harmony and harmony between Sufi behaviour and God.…”
