| الملخص: | This research examines the teaching of al-tawhid of a Sufi scholar, Shaykh
Muhammad Nafis al-Banjari (b.1148 H/1735 A.D.). He employs Sufi’s methodology
in explaining al-tawhid in his book “al-Durr al-Nafis” (the Valuable Pearl). However,
his thoughts regarding some pivotal issues of al-tawhid are not in line with theological
standpoint. The different views and methodologies between al-Banjari and theologians
make his teaching to be not in line with Ahl al-Sunnah wa‘l-Jama c
ah’s mainstream
thinking. It is important to seek clarification of the disagreement issues between these
two viewpoints within the spirit of revelation and the authentic viewpoints of
prominent scholars. The study scrutinizes actual problems in al-Banjari’s teaching and
discovers the elucidation from Islamic sources. Additionally, this study attempts to
reconcile the differences between al-Banjari’s and the theologian’s methodologies to
the greatest possible degree. This is important because the core of al-tawhid is one,
but its terminologies, pronunciations, expressions and interpretations are various in
forms. Therefore, this research analyzes al-Banjari’s teaching of al-tawhid from Sufi’s
methodology of his book and clarifies the points of the disagreements in a wider
scope. The intent of the study is to help Muslims, particularly in the Malay world, to
deal with disagreements in a harmonious and tolerant manner. |
