A library research approach was employed, utilizing descriptive, interpretative, and analytical methods. Data were sourced from primary references, including books and Sufi literature, as well as secondary sources like relevant journal articles. The analysis focuses on applying Sufi concepts to guide individuals toward inner peace and closeness to God. The findings show that the Sufi stages of takhalli, tahalli, and tajalli are key to the spiritual journey. Spiritual practices such as dhikr, muraqabah, suluk, riyadhah, and tafakur play a central role in this process, not only cleansing the heart of negative traits but also instilling noble values like justice, divine love, and patience. The ultimate achievements of Sufism-mahabbah (love for God) and ma’rifah (knowledge of God)-bring individuals to the highest level of spiritual closeness. In the modern era, Sufism offers a holistic approach to addressing the pressures of materialistic life while fostering inner tranquility through divine connection. This study highlights the universal significance of Sufi teachings as a guide for human spiritual development.</em></p>2025-06-14T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) https://journal.uiad.ac.id/index.php/al-qalam/article/view/3490Pengetahuan Akhlak Sosial Sebagai Upaya Mencegah Tindakan Perundungan di Sekolah2025-06-20T08:11:06+00:00Giantomi Muhammadgiantomi.muhammad@unisba.ac.idZahra Putri Rozaligiantomi.muhammad@unisba.ac.idErhamwilda Erhamwildagiantomi.muhammad@unisba.ac.id<p><em>The current rampant bullying is accompanied by physical violence, not just verbal.

This article is written based on library research to collect data from various literature sources. After the data was collected, the author applied a descriptive-analytical method to obtain the right conclusion. In the concept of metaphysics (Ma Ba'da al-Thabi'ah) according to Ibn Arabi, Allah is the main source of the four ma'lim, without anything behind it. It is called al-Wujud al-Muthlaq. The second ma'lum is the universal essence found in God and the universe, namely something that appears after creation, namely everything other than Allah Ta'ala. The third ma'lum covers the universe, including everything in the heavens and the earth, except humans. While the fourth ma'lum is humans as Allah's vicegerents on earth, which is also called the small world (microcosm).

The method used in this research is a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach, data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation of traditional leaders, educators, and local communities who have relevance to this research. The results showed that Tarlawi language functions not only as a means of communication, but also as an educative and spiritual medium that contains noble values such as mutual cooperation (tutan dampa riman dadi), respect for teachers (kanemba guru, then kanemba Allah), and other social and religious ethics. This language has a significant role in shaping learners' character and strengthening the community's cultural identity. This research recommends the integration of Tarlawi language into the Islamic education curriculum, local culture-based teacher training, and the development of contextual teaching materials. The revitalization of this local language has proven to be a bridge between character education and the preservation of Islamic values that live in the local culture of the Wawo community.</em></p>2025-06-14T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) https://journal.uiad.ac.id/index.php/al-qalam/article/view/3806Persepsi Peserta Didik Terhadap Sikap Diskriminatif Guru di SMP Negeri 4 Sengkang Kabupaten Wajo2025-06-22T15:03:10+00:00Rahim Saputrarahimsptra@gmail.comIlyas Tahirilyas.tahir@umi.ac.idMuh Aidil Sudarmono Rmuhaidil.sudarmono@umi.ac.idMustamin Mustaminmustamin@umi.ac.idAbdul Wahababdulwahab79@umi.ac.id<p><em>This study examines the discriminatory practices of teachers in class VIII.A of SMPN 4 Sengkang, Wajo Regency, and its impact on students.

The results showed that the perceptions of students, both male and female, were uniform: there was teacher discrimination that was considered unfair. This discrimination is often rooted in subjective assessments of teachers, influenced by personal closeness to certain students.

This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method as a type of field study. The study results indicate that students experience difficulties in learning the Fiqh Book in terms of reading Arabic texts, understanding the material, and low interest and motivation to learn. This failure is caused by internal factors such as physical and psychological conditions, learning styles and attitudes, and lack of concentration; external factors such as educational background, teaching methods, and social interaction. The efforts of the ustadz in overcoming this include providing additional lessons, enriching Arabic language understanding, practicing reading bare and pegon Arabic texts, personal motivation, and periodic learning evaluations. In addition, the active involvement of students in the learning process also contributes to overcoming learning obstacles. Students actively asking questions, discussing, and showing learning initiatives tend to experience increased understanding.
