Sufism, Maqashid Syari’ah , Imam Al Shatibi , Spirituality, ContextualizationAbstract
Sufism as the spiritual treasure of Islam is often debated regarding its understanding within the framework of sharia. The maqasid (objectives) paradigm of rational thought by Imam Al-Shatibi, which emphasizes the purposes and wisdom behind Islamic laws, provides a valuable perspective. The purpose of this writing is to explore Sufism through the maqasid paradigm to ensure its conformity with the principles of sharia. The method used is a literature review and critical analysis of Sufi principles such as makrifat (gnosis), tazkiyat an-nafs (self-purification), and zuhd (asceticism) through the lens of maqasid. The research results show that maqasid serves as a solid foundation for Sufism to provide profound substantive meaning and prevent deviations. Maqasid also provides a framework for evaluating Sufi practices and their contextualization in modern life without sacrificing its core values. In conclusion, Al-Shatibi's maqasid paradigm ensures that Sufism is not only a profound spiritual practice but is also in line with Islamic sharia, enriching the spiritual dimension, and addressing the modern human need for authentic spirituality with a way of life in accordance with the objectives of sharia.
