The Relevance of Modern Sufism in Confronting the Phenomenon of Dehumanization Caused by the Modern Lifestyle
Main Article Content
Abstract
Modern lifestyles can lead to the phenomenon of dehumanization, which often leads to a decline in the quality of human relationships and a loss of existential meaning in everyday life. An increasingly materialistic and individualistic lifestyle can also neglect human and spiritual aspects, causing a crisis of identity and psychological well-being. In such a situation, contemporary Sufism offers relevant perspectives and methods to address these issues. As part of the Islamic mystical tradition, Sufism emphasizes the importance of a direct relationship with God, self-introspection, and the search for deep meaning. By adapting and interpreting Sufism in accordance with modern times, Sufism can offer an alternative to the dehumanizing tendencies that often occur in societies that are overly focused on materialism and the routine of daily life. The main focus will be on the basic principles of Sufism that can be applied in everyday life and how these can restore and strengthen neglected aspects of humanity. Therefore, it is hoped that modern Sufism can provide a profound and comprehensive solution to overcome dehumanization and restore balance in contemporary life.
