Konsep Mujahadah Imam Al-Qusyairi dalam Kitab Risalah Qusyairiah sebagai Upaya Mencegah Hedonisme

Abstract

This study aims to examine the concept of mujahadah according to Imam al-Qusyairi in his work Risalah Qusyairiyah, as well as its role in countering hedonism. The research employs a qualitative method using a library research approach, drawing on various references relevant to the topic. The data sources consist of primary data taken from Risalah Qusyairiyah by Imam al-Qusyairi and secondary data obtained from books, theses, articles and other relevant literature. Data collection was carried out through documentation, involving the search and gathering of various related materials and the data were analyzed through three stages: summarizing, presenting and verifying or drawing conclusions. The findings of this study reveal that mujahadah, as outlined by Imam al-Qusyairi in his seminal work, is a spiritual effort to resist base desires. This practice serves as an effective solution to combat a hedonistic lifestyle, including the prevention of consumerist behavior, the dominance of worldly pleasures, moral permissiveness, the neglect of religious priorities, as well as antisocial behavior and selfish attitudes.
