<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>The real being in the Islamic thought is only one and it is Allah, the Almighty. All other beings have come to existence through the gradational manifestation (tajalli), condescension (tanazzul) and effusion (tafayyud) of the Transcendental Being (Zat Muta'al). A variety of symbols has been utilised to describe the transition of the being from oneness to plurality, from subtlety (latafa) to grossness (kasafa) and from truth (haqiqa) to metaphor (majaz), In this regard some symbolisms prevail such as of reality and shadow, of seed and tree, of point and letter,</p><p>The Point (noqtah) is the beginning of the writing (of the word). A book consists of sentences formed by words made up of letters which originate singly from a point. Thus the point constitutes the start and essence of the word and the source of the knowledge.  Furthermore, the point is the commencement of the being as well. In other words, it is the initial source and outlet of the universe. It is eventually identical to human being. As essence it is immanent in all beings in addition to forming the beginning.</p><p>The tradition of defining the being through the symbolism of the point which dates back to Ibn Arabi has been maintained by Ottoman sufi thinkers in the subsequent eras. One of them, Muhyî al-din al-Rumi (d. ca. 946 AH), a sheikh of Khalwatiyya sufi order authored several treatises in which he makes use of abovementioned symbolisms. In the treatise titled Tamthil Noqtah he focuses on the symbolism of the point. In his works he explains the matters by drawing some geometrical shapes such as circles which one in the other, besides speaking of them through prose and poetry.</p><p>This study firstly deals with the symbolism of the point and then provides an examination of the said work of Muhyî, Tamthil Noqtah, followed by a Turkish transliteration of it.</p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>İslam düşüncesine göre gerçek varlık birdir, o da Cenâb-ı Allah’ın kendisidir. Vücûd/varlık, Zât-ı Müteâl’in içerden dışarıya doğru aşama aşama tecelli, tenezzül, tefevvüz etmesi ile oluşmuştur. Varlığın birlikten çokluğa, latiften kesife, hakikatten mecaza geçişini anlatılabilmek için farklı semboller kullanılmıştır. Bu sembollerin başında hakikat ve gölge, tohum ve ağaç, nokta ve harf, hakikat ve ayna, iplik ve halı gibi çeşitli benzetmeler gelmektedir.</p><p>Nokta, yazının (kelâmın) başlangıcıdır. Noktadan, harf, harften kelime ve isim, kelime ve isimlerden cümle, cümleden kitap oluşmuştur. Bu haliyle nokta kelâmın başlangıcı ve özü, bilginin kaynağıdır. Diğer yandan nokta, kelâm ile eş zamanlı olarak varlığın başlangıcıdır. Evrenin ilk kaynağıdır, ilk çıkış yeridir. En nihâyet nokta insanın ʻaynıdır, hüviyetidir. Fakat bu haliyle o zübde/öz olarak bütün varlığın hem başlangıcı hem de onu içkindir.</p><p>Varlığı nokta sembolizmi üzerinden tanımlama geleneği İbn Arabî ile başlamış özellikle Osmanlı sûfi düşünürleri tarafından devam etttirilmiştir. Muhyiddin er-Rûmî (946/1539’den sonra) yukarıda bahsedilen sembolleri kullanarak müstakil risâleler kaleme almıştır. <em>Temsîl-i Nokta</em> risâlesi de bunlardan nokta sembolizmine yoğunlaşmıştır. Fakat o eserlerinde sembolün daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi için nesir ve manzum bir yazım tarzı yanında iç içe geçmiş daireler ve şekiller çizerek konuyu anlatma yolunu tutmuştur.</p>

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>In the Islamic thought, Wahdat Wujud (The Unity of Being) is generally defined as a doctrine which discusses the transition of the real being (the absolute being) to the methaphorical (the relative) one, its formation and quality. By means of this doctrine, questions concerning the relations of Allah, the universe and human being are answered and many obscure issues found in the Holy Qur'an and the hadiths become intelligible.</p><p>In the center of the doctrine of the Unity of Being occur the categories of being such as maratib al-wujud (the ranks of being), hadarat khamsa (the five presences) and tanazzulat sab'a (the seven condescensions). The categories of being have been long dealt with in a similar manner in almost every corner of the Islamic World through explanatory works like those in the form of sharh (commentary). In order to facilitate the comprehension of the subject in question a number of symbolisms such as seed and tree, point and letter, steam and ice, mirror and dream (shadow) have been utilised. The symbolism of the rug (qalicha) which is focused by the present study has not been studied or drawn attention to until today. Thus Muhyi's treatise, Tamthil Qalicha is quite compelling. This study firstly endeavors to elucidate the symbolism of the rug and then presents a Turkish transliteration of the said treatise of Muhyi, Tamthil Qalicha.</p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>Vahdet-i vücûd, İslam düşüncesinde en genel anlamıyla hakîki varlıktan mecâziye geçişi, kılınış (ca’liyet) ve nasıllığı anlatan nazariyenin adıdır. Bu nazariye ile Allah-âlem-insan münasebeti hakkında sorular karşılıklarını bulurve Kur’ân-ı Kerîm ve hadislerde geçen birçok müteşabih konu anlaşılır hale gelir. Vahdet-i vücud nazariyesinin ana çatısını merâtibü’l-vücûd, hazerât-ı hams, tenezzülât-ı seb’a gibi farklı isimlerle ifade edilen varlık kategorileri oluşturur. Varlık mertebeleri tarih boyunca İslam dünyasının her bölgesinde benzer tarzda açıklanmaya çalışılmış ve üzerine şerhler yazılmıştır. Anlatının daha iyi kavranabilmesi için çekirdek-ağaç, nokta-harf, buhar-buz, ayna-hayal (gölge) gibi bir takım sembolik anlatım tarzları tercih edilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın konusunu teşkil eden <strong><em>halı sembolizmi/metaforu</em></strong> üzerine farklı şekillerde dikkat çekilmiş olsa da bu güne kadar herhangi bir çalışma yapılmamıştır. Bu konuda Muhyî’nin <em>Temsîl-i Kālîçe</em> isimli risalesi oldukça ilgi çekicidir.</p><p>Çalışmamızın başında halı sembolizmini açıklamaya çalışacağız. Daha sonra Temsîl-i Kālîçe’nin günümüz Türkçesi ile yazımını vereceğiz.</p>

Sufism as a spiritual life was frequently to be a return place for the tired man because of his life journey and an escape place for the pressed man. Beside that, actually sufism can strengthen the week individuals missing his self-existance. By sufism, they found the real meaning of life. In the teachings of sufi order, the seeker (salik) has to pass through spiritual path (thariqah) in order to know Allah as the Final Goal by passing a long journey and spiritual stations (maqamat) to improve their bad characteristics. This is significant to do for salikin, especially to make his inner empty, and then adorn and decorate it with all of good characteristics to reach higher and higher stations (maqamat). In the other hand, they found a religious-psycological experiences which is called ahwal to achive the spiritual experiences with Divine Reality (Haqiqah).

Ibn Bajja’s philosophy may be summed up in two words; al-ittisal (conjunction) and al-tawahhud (solitude). Conjunction is union with the divine realm, a union that reveals the eternal and innermost aspects of the universe. Through this union or knowledge, one is completed as a human being, and in this completion the ultimate human end, happiness, is achieved. Solitude, on the other hand, is separation from a society that is lacking in knowledge. Once united with the eternal aspects of the universe, one must isolate oneself from those who are not in the same state, who may therefore distract one from the supernatural realm through their ignorance and corruption.

Allah (swt) has elevated man to the highest position in all creation, and bestwed upon him the bounty of reason and knowledge. An in depth study of knowledge itself reveals that, there are two forms and ranks of knowledge in the universe; one is the divinely revealed instintintive level of awareness about reality, and the other is the earned and learned behavoiur based upon knowledge, that is gained through urge, effort and experience. Human beings, apart from the innate divine blessing of knowledge, learns through sense experience, reason and intuitive thinking. The higher form of knowledge is divinely transmission through revelation to the Prophets. The heavenly revealed knowledge has been preserved by human being in the form of Sacred Books; especially a body of knowledge about reality in the form of religion, namely in the Holy Bible and the Holy Qur’an.

The city is one of important aspects of the earth. The universe has been created with various kinds of creature. However, to be able to survive, there are two important things to do: a) surviving to compete, and b) surviving to live. The human being becomes the subject for any building plans for nation advancement. On the other side, the environ- ment which becomes the object of building plans is frequently ignored. It should not happen as al-Qur'an states that the universe is created for human's benefits based on its Standard and function. When the universe does not function as its standard, there will be a disaster. For that reason, building infrastructure in the city should consider the surroundings, and does not make the nature as the place of throwing away. The building process which synergies with al-Qur'an aims to make people aware and change their behavior for the safety of the universe. In al-Qur'an, it is stated that if the human is not back to his/her 'fitrah' will disappear because of any damages created by human himself.

<div><p><strong>Abstract :</strong> Sufism has influenced the religious life of Banjarese Muslims in South Kalimantan since the 18th century up to now. The tendency to combine ethical Sufism of al-Ghazali and metaphysical Sufism of Ibn Arabi, and the veneration of Sufi masters in the reading ritual of their hagiographies, and the emergence of certain heterodox Sufi  sects, all of these can be found along history of Islam in this region. On the other hand, there are social changes that have also influenced the colour of Sufism developed in certain period. In the 18th century, orthodox Sufism fought against pantheism which was presumably came from Hindu origin, but in the 19th and early 20th century, Sufism became a social movement, namely a certian Sufi Order that was involved in the war against the Dutch. In the later period, Sufism became the source of moral and spiritual strength in the face of social, cultural and political crisis. Moreover, since the Reformation Era, Sufi masters and their followers have become potential allies as voters for politicians.</p><p><em>Keywords : sufism, banjar, tradition, social changes</em></p><p> </p><p><strong>Abstrak :</strong> Tasawuf telah mempengaruhi kehidupan keagamaan Muslim Banjar di Kalimantan Selatan, sejak abad ke-18 hingga sekarang. Kecenderungan untuk menggabungkan tasawuf etis al-Ghazali dan tasawuf metafisis Ibn Arabi, penghormatan terhadap tokoh-tokoh sufi dalam ritual pembacaan manakib, dan munculnya kelompok-kelompok tasawuf sempalan, semua ini dapat ditemukan sepanjang sejarah Islam di daerah ini. Di sisi lain, ada berbagai perubahan sosial yang juga mempengaruhi corak tasawuf yang berkembang di masa tertentu. Pada abad ke-18, tasawuf ortodoks harus berhadapan dengan panteisme, yang diduga berasal dari Hinduisme, tetapi pada abad ke-19 dan awal abad ke-20, tasawuf menjadi gerakan sosial, yaitu tarekat tertentu yang terlibat dalam perang melawan Belanda. Dalam periode berikutnya, tasawuf menjadi sumber kekuatan moral dan spiritual dalam menghadapi krisis sosial, budaya dan politik. Selain itu, sejak Era Reformasi guru-guru tasawuf dan para pengikut mereka, menjadi sekutu-sekutu potensial sebagai pemilih bagi para politisi. </p><p><em>Kata kunci : Tasawuf, banjar, tradisi, perubahan sosial.</em></p></div>

This article aims to answer how Islamic thought deals with issues of internationalization. Where in general religions agree that human rights are rights owned by each individual solely because of his dignity as a human being, not the construction of society regarding individual rights. While on the other hand, some experts state that human rights are normative elements that are inherent in human individuals because there are laws whose application differs according to space and time. Between Islam and human rights has a relationship that lies in the universality of Islamic teachings. the concept of human rights has been outlined in the basic principles of Islamic law originating from the texts of the Koran, the Sunnah of the Prophet and friends, as well as the construction of scholars' thoughts. Human rights should be understood and accepted as a universal human treasure whose normative and philosophical foundations can be traced and found in various systems of values ​and traditions. Such global ethics cannot be formulated without religious contributions.

This article aims to present a concept of era based on the Qur'anic idea of Al-Ashr. At the first presence, era, whether at historical level, or transcending it, has never escape holiness, as time and space where sacred moral act is always present. At the second presence, era is, in essence, holiness as a reality of being, reality of existence, and presence, where the entire range of the past, present and future is no longer important, even lost, but is a reality that is present in the era without era. At the third presence, holiness, on the other hand, must be historical for the task of the public in the name of love for God, which is part of the deepest consciousness of every human being and human relations where the past, present and future move historically in space and time. At the fourth presence, the real man is thus a man who always purifies his soul without pause in the historical space of time, even beyond it. At the fifth presence, the act of “so be it” (kun fayakun) of God exists, time exists throughout the span of time without any preconditions or constructions based on His commandments (namely Ibn Arabi Bipolar Triplisity).
