Keywords:
Soul Purification, Stoicism, HappinessAbstract
Happiness is a feeling that normally becomes the dream of every healthy person. However, everyone's journey to pursue happiness does not always run smoothly. In this massive digital era, human’s filter for exposure to cyberspace becomes fewer and fewer. Many people spend some of their time on social media. It's so easy for people to look at and compare each other's life. Comparing life could be problematic because it can make someone not be grateful for what he has and even if it is allowed to continue, it will make someone not accept Allah's decree towards his life and other’s life. If someone does not accept Allah's decree then unhappiness feeling will arise. This research aims to realize happiness through the process of soul purifying in Sufism assisted by the concept of stoicism in Philosophy. Happiness itself in Sufism perspective lies in the happiness of one’s heart which comes from within and it can only be felt after going through the process of purifying the soul. This research is a library research where in analyzing the researchers uses an integrative analysis method. The result of the research is that the value of stoicism, if implemented, can ease the process of purifying one's soul (tazkiyah al-nafs) which goes through 2 stages, namely takhalli and tahalli. The theory of soul purification with the value of stoicism in philosophy, if applied in an integrative manner, has the potential to make someone easier to obtain inner happiness that comes from within.
