Naufal Waliyuddin Pascasarjana UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta, Indonesia; e-mail: naufal.waliyuddin11@gmail.com Received: March 15, 2021; Accepted: November 11, 2021; Published: January 04, 2022 Abstract: One of examples of collective religious narcissism phenomenon which could be found in this age is ISIS, an organization that arrogant, feel the most right, superior and devaluing others. This article presented a theoretical framework of those narcissism phenomena in the contemporary age that mingled with the presence of social media, a virtual world, and the emergence of an interconnected global society. This research investigated the conceptual and empirical trajectory of how collective narcissism can infect religious groups which are then called collective religious narcissism. The further analysis discussed how Sufi teachings could potentially be applied as a neutralizing strategy (treatment) or preventing the destructive tendency of collective religious narcissism. This study used qualitative research methods through a literature study approach by investigating several previous relevant studies. The data analysis employed the social psychology perspective. The result of this research is that the term introduced by Sigmund Freud (narziβtisch) was developed by Robert Waelder to become “narcissistic personality”, then experienced Heinz Kohut’s specification as “narcissistic personality disorder” and was further expanded by Agnieszka Golec de Zavala to become “collective narcissism” which may manifest in the sphere of nationalism, ethnocentricism, to the realm of religion. Some of the characteristics of collective religious narcissism are feeling the group is superior, the kindest and the most impeccable, have extensive desire to be recognized, a lack of empathy, and a tendency to exploitative behaviour. This phenomenon could be widely observed on social media, particularly regarding the contestation of truth-claims. This will have impacts on social segregation, political polarization, and infectious hatred. The values of the Sufi teachings that are considered effective in reducing this negative potencies are muḥāsabah, al- ḥazm, tawāḍu’, and maḥabbah.

Abstrak: Salah satu contoh fenomena narsisisme religius kolektif yang dapat diamati di zaman ini adalah keberadaan ISIS yang merasa paling benar, arogan, dan rasa superioritas mereka membuatnya berani mendevaluasi kelompok lain sampai pembunuhan. Artikel ini menyajikan kerangka konseptual dari fenomena narsisisme jenis baru tersebut di era kekinian yang telah berbaur dengan kehadiran media sosial, dunia virtual, dan munculnya masyarakat global yang saling terkoneksi. Berangkat dari situ, artikel ini menelusuri rekam jejak teoretis maupun empiris tentang bagaimana narsisisme kolektif juga dapat menjangkit kelompok keagamaan yang kemudian disebut narsisisme religius kolektif. Telaah lebih lanjut membahas bagaimana ajaran sufi potensial didayagunakan sebagai strategi penetralisir atau pencegah atas kecenderungan narsisisme religius kolektif yang destruktif. Kajian ini menggunakan metode riset kualitatif dengan studi pustaka yang
