Abstract

This research explores hiw Sufi principles are applied to manage conflicts in Multikultural settings, with Sukahening Village serving as the foval case. Using qualitative techniques such as in-depth interviews and participatory observation, the study highlights four central Sufi values sabar (patience), tawadhu’ (humility), mahabah (love), and ikhlas (sincerity), which facilitate conflict resolution throught spiritual transformation. The results indicate that communal Sufi practices like dzikir (remembrance of God) and suluk (spiritual retreat) contribute to an 80% decrease in intergroup tensions, as reported by participants. This study presents a fresh synthesis of Islamic spirituality and conflict resolution theory, suggesting Sufi-inspired mediation as a viabke alternative to mainstream approaches in diverse societies.
