SOCIOECONOMICS GROUNDED IN THE VALUE OF ṢABR DERIVED FROM SUFI ISHĀRĪ TAFSĪR FOR INDIVIDUAL INTEGRITY EDUCATION

Abstract

Individual integrity constitutes a fundamental foundation in shaping an exemplary personality. Discussions on integrity commonly focus on
issues and problems related to corruption. Various anti-corruption policies and law enforcement mechanisms have been implemented.
Nevertheless, the efforts undertaken by the government have yet to demonstrate satisfactory results. Despite numerous initiatives and actions
carried out thus far, corrupt practices remain widespread and appear more severe than before. The objective of this study is to identify
socioeconomic factors as causes of integrity-related problems and to propose the value of ṣabr derived from Sufi Ishārī tafsīr as a solution for
individual integrity education. This study adopts a qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews and inductive text analysis. The
findings indicate that socioeconomic factors are among the causes of integrity problems, particularly corruption. The most effective solution
lies in instilling the value of ṣabr within the individual. Ṣabr is not merely an attitude of self-restraint when afflicted by calamity; rather, it is a
form of moral resilience that strengthens individuals in facing life’s trials. Ṣabr signifies victory and serves as a safeguard against wrongdoing.
