“…Jam'iyah Khalwatiyah that the order of al-Khalwatiyah that Sheikh Yūsuf took from his teacher is based on the teachings of three types of dhikr, which are compared to the three levels of the soul, nafsal-ammārah, nafs al-awwamah and nafs al-muţmainnah. Zikr producers deploy interpretive repertoires to construct spirituality's psychological, interactional, emotional, behavioral, imaginative, and perceptual dimensions (Hussein, 2018).…”

Sufism activities in the teachings of tarekat have shown the socio practice of a Muslim. This study addresses the practice of dhikr by the community of Tarekat Khalwatiyah Sheikh Yusuf Al-Makassary (TKSYA) in improving daily life social personality. This study relies on qualitative research. Data were collected from observation, interviews, and literature review. The study results indicate that socio-sufism activities can build social congregation, which has implications for social life. It is implemented in the sharia or worship, tauhid or faith, and akhlak or ethics and muamalah as seen in everyday life. Sufism activists can interpret a complex life manifested through the nature of tawadhu; they respect each other, even towards their environment. Thus, the implication of dhikr continuously shapes community character and has a strong and calm personality. This study recommends further studies on the tarekat community with a contextual approach as an initial mapping of the potentiality of tarekat teachings in responding to the threat of an ongoing moral and social crisis.

“…The words of Allah in 13:28 prescribes treatment of a weak heart with dhikr. Evidence of this discourse can be seen in relation to a weak heart disposition of a person (Haque & Keshavarzi, 2014;Hussein, 2018;Saniotis, 2018).…”

This article analytically discusses how the Quran commands Muslims to be prudent in the face of a pandemic crisis. The Quran is the holy book of Islam and is considered by Muslims to be the word of God and is a valid source of guidance alongside science advisories from government authorities. Using a qualitative method, this study investigates the Quranic assertion that in the face of a pandemic crisis, Muslims are required to do charitable deeds and keep striving with the hope that the solution to problems people face can be actively found, rather than just fatalistically surrendering to fate and Allah’s power alone. In this regard, the Quran commands Muslims to be prudent and to take precautions against the spread of disease, practice charity, endure, not be fooled by false gossip and to place trust in the religious and health authorities during times of crisis.

“…The rich variety of semiotic resources available to persons in society are devices for distancing (Zittoun, Duveen, Gillespie, Ivinson, & Psaltis, 2003). Religious belief systems and their meaningful activity patterns (Beckstead, 2010, 2016; Manuti, Scargaglia, & Mininni, 2016; McKenzie & Jensen, 2017; Sartawi & Sammut, 2012) fortified by rituals (Hussein, 2018) allow for psychological distancing in relation with the imaginary fields of mysticism. 10 Even in secular cases “…secularization is not so much manifested in the disappearance of religion, but instead results in a state of post-secularity understood as the ‘intertwinement’ of the religious and the secular…” (Wojtkowiak, 2018, p. 464).…”

“…Behind this rich array of complex meanings remains the societal history of religious guidance of human minds. Religious frames have of course over centuries been guiding human affect, and our contemporary cultural psychology is slowly taking interest in these phenomena (Fasoli, 2017; Hussein, 2018; McKenzie & Jensen, 2017). This needs to happen taking the whole history of society into account—in terms of main parameters of meaning making (“symbolic universes”—Salvatore, Mannarini, Avdi, Battaglia, Cremaschi, Davanzatti, … Veltri, 2018) at all levels of organization (Ratner, 2017).…”

In this article, I review main directions in innovative ideas that have been presented on the pages of Culture & Psychology over its 25 year history. The field of cultural psychology has become established and gains increasing prominence over the years covered—yet its future depends on careful development of the specific theoretical ideas catalyzed by the use of the hyper-term culture in the different arenas of concrete human psychology. Potential future ideas for cultural psychology include a move from acculturation to proculturation, modulation of psychological distance by signs, building models of dialogical relationships in socially asymmetric role relations, and of the affective textures of everyday living. These are all processes of higher-order complexity that require new ways of conceptualizing methodology in psychology—one that prioritizes theoretically based methods construction over those of consensually established “tool boxes.” Cultural psychology has the advantage over other areas of psychology to consider both the real and not (yet) real human conditions within the same scheme, thus allowing for conceptualization of highest forms of human creativity in ordinary human lives.
