RELASI HUKUM DAN ETIKA ISLAM (Integrasi Ajaran Eksoteris dan Esoteris Dunia Islam)

The dialogue between Islamic law (Shari'ah) and Islamic ethics (Sufism) has been
going on for a long time. The relationship between the two in the early history of
Islamic thought can be called less harmonious, making the adherents of both accuse
and criticise each other. The fuqaha (Islamic jurists) questioned the attitude of Sufi
groups (Sufis), who tended to ignore the external provisions of religious law and
modified the basic teachings of religion with their own innovations and creations.
The Sufis' modifications eventually led to a reduction of Islamic teachings, making
them remove themselves from the true Muslim community. On the other hand,
Sufis who seek the path of truth through the esoteric dimension claim that the
fuqaha' group is no longer able to see the explicit things that are hidden behind the
pages of the Qur'anic text and are too fossilised, so they lose the ability to capture
the substance of the core teachings of Islam. The author's methodology in this
research is quantitative library research through a comparative analysis approach.
The result of this research is that although Islamic law and Islamic ethics had a poor
relationship in the early history of Islamic thought due to differences in viewpoints
and dimensional pathways, both have the same ultimate goal, namely the ultimate
truth, namely God's pleasure.
