| Summary: | Abstract
The teaching of tawhid embroidered with Sufi teaching is uncommon to be discussed in Malay world. But Muhammad Nafis al-Banjari, a renowned Malay scholar who studied in Makkah, had discussed the tawhid from sufi perspective in his small epistle known as al-Durr al-Nafis fi Bayan Wahid al-Afcal- wa al-Asma’ wa al-Sifat wa Al-Dhat al-Taqdis. His exposition on the tawhid al-afcal (actions) from Sufi approach rises misunderstanding that leading to negative impact. The objective of this study is to evaluate critically tawhid al-afcal as taught by him. The study applies historical and textual studies. Finally, Muhammad Nafis al-Banjari exposition on tawhid al-afcal is not contravened with the fundamental theological principles. His teaching of tawhid al-afcal is consistent and well balanced between the requirements of the Islamic Law and the Divine reality on the basis of Tawhidic orientation.

Abstrak
Pengajaran tauhid yang disulami dengan ilmu tasawuf jarang dibincangkan di Alam Melayu. Tetapi Muhammad Nafis al-Banjari, seorang ulama Melayu muktabar yang pernah menuntut ilmu di Mekah telah membincangkan tauhid daripada pandangan sufi di dalam risalah kecilnya tang bernama al-Durr al-Nafis fi Bayan Wahid al-Afcal- wa al-Asma’ wa al-Sifat wa al-Dhat al-Taqdis. Pendedahannya mengenai tauhid al-al-afcal (perbuatan) daripada perspektif sufi menimbulkan salah faham yang boleh membawa kesan negatif. Objektif kajian ini ialah untuk menilai secara kritikal tauhid al al-afcal yang diajarinya. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan sejarah dan kajian teks. Akhirnya, huraian Muhammad Nafis al-Banjari terhadap tauhid al-afcal adalah tidak bertentangan dengan asas prinsip akidah. Pengajarannya adalah selaras dengan tuntutan shariah dan hakikah yang berasaskan orientasi tauhid. |
