<p><em>This paper examines Seyyed Hossein Nasr's thoughts on Islam and perennial philosophy in dealing with the problems of modern humans. The purpose of this article is to explain the plight of modern humans and to explain how to overcome this problem through a study of the thoughts of a contemporary Muslim figure, namely Seyyed Hossein Nasr. In Nasr's perspective, perennial philosophy is a philosophy of eternity which is also interpreted as traditional wisdom. This thought about Nasr's perennial philosophy emerged as a critical reaction to what he saw as a crisis in modern humans. Modern civilization in the West which also flourished in the Islamic world, according to Nasr, has failed to achieve its goals because it has caused a variety of existentialism and spiritual crises experienced by modern humans. Through perennial philosophy, Nasr explained that to deal with the problems currently faced by modern humans is to get closer to God through Sufism as has been done by ancient scholars.</em></p>

This article describes the visible conditions of modern human development that display a different phenomenon. Previously, they were famous for their all-materialistic lifestyle, but now they seem to be heading towards spiritual things. On the one hand, this shows a good change. Suppose you pay close attention to this phenomenon, in that case, that there is a tug of war between escapism and illuminates, whether the shift of modern human attention to the spiritual is only limited to escapism to avoid the hustle and bustle they experience or illuminates who make themselves aware of the importance of a balance between physical and spiritual needs. This research uses the library research method using deductive-inductive logic reflectively. Discussing this matter, Sufism as the direction that modern humans go in meeting spiritual needs can help humans focus on human problems with God and issues related to humans and their social realm. Sufism can be relevant to modern life. Thus the balance between the outer and inner aspects can be realized and the shift of humans to the Sufism aspect is an escape (escapism) that leads to enlightenment (Illuminati).
