Internalisasi Maqam Syukur Dalam Tasawuf

Abstract

Contemporary psychological crises, driven by overwhelming productivity demands and existential meaninglessness, reveal the inadequacy of materialistic therapeutic approaches in addressing profound mental health challenges. This investigation examines gratitude as a conceptual bridge connecting positive psychology frameworks with Sufi spiritual traditions, proposing comprehensive therapeutic perspectives for addressing psychological disorders including stress, anxiety, and depressive conditions. Through qualitative literature analysis methodology, this study scrutinizes classical Sufi manuscripts (particularly Ibn Qayyim's Madārij as-Sālikīn) alongside contemporary psychological scholarship. Findings demonstrate that Sufi gratitude transcends mere verbal acknowledgment, constituting a spiritual station encompassing the triadic integration of heart, tongue, and action—contrasting significantly with positive psychology's predominantly cognitive-affective limitations. The synthesis of these paradigmatic approaches generates a three-tiered applicative framework: (1) individual practices (daily gratitude remembrance), (2) social initiatives (community-based charitable giving), and (3) educational curricula (three-dimensional gratitude modules). Sufi principles including maʿrifat al-niʿmah (blessing awareness), ridho (divine acceptance), and qanaah (inner contentment) demonstrate substantial efficacy in strengthening psychological and spiritual resilience within digital age contexts. This research contributes to multidisciplinary discourse by proposing innovative spiritual therapeutic frameworks while addressing literature gaps concerning deep gratitude internalization processes. The implications extend beyond transpersonal psychology development to encompass Islamic values-based educational practices and counseling methodologies.
