2025-06-05T18:42:59+00:00

The concept of kesempitan jiwa (constriction of the soul) refers to a state of discomfort, anxiety, sadness, or emotional and spiritual suffering that one might experience. This constriction fundamentally originates from within the heart, where it induces a sense of suffering. The soul, in this context, is understood as encompassing the entirety of a person's inner life, including feelings, thoughts, imagination, and more. This study employs a qualitative approach, focusing on literature analysis from sources such as books, journals, papers, and other writings. It is a type of library research. This research finds, firstly, that the constriction of the soul in the Qur'an is associated with the term dhayq, which refers to a state where the heart feels tight due to excessive sadness, fear, worry, and anxiety over matters that are difficult to accept. Secondly, dhayq arises from various causes, such as arrogance within oneself, excessive worry about something, and fear that originates from within a person, disturbing their inner peace. According to the Qur'an, overcoming this constriction of the soul can be achieved through patience, seeking help from Allah, and avoiding negative assumptions. Thirdly, some scholars argue that humans are created with a tendency toward restlessness and anxiety, which is reflected in their behavior.

The method used is qualitative research with a library research approach and normative-theological analysis. This article analyzes the relationship between traditional values and the elements of benefit aimed at by sharia, as well as seeing the extent to which acculturation of local culture and Islam can occur harmoniously. The results show that Kejawen traditions such as selametan, mitoni, wetonan and tedhak siten contain moral, social and spiritual values that do not conflict with maqashid sharia, and even have the potential to support the achievement of benefits in people's lives. In conclusion, Kejawen tradition can be maintained and preserved as long as the values it contains remain in the corridor of tawhid and do not contain elements of shirk. This research implies that maqashid sharia can be an effective analytical tool to examine local culture contextually, and become a bridge between religion and culture in the lives of Indonesian Muslims.
