Having studied the PDF excerpt starting from page 39, I can confirm that this terjemah (translation) of Ibn Qayyim’s masterpiece is a faithful attempt to bring classical Arabic spiritual psychology into the Indonesian language. However, it is not a light read.
The translator has done a commendable job preserving the juridical ( fiqh ) and spiritual nuances of the original text. Unlike surface-level paraphrases, this PDF maintains the logical rigor of Ibn Qayyim. For example, the discussion on Maqam al-Tawakkal (Reliance) starting around page 39 is translated with precise terminology. There are no signs of "over-simplification" which often plagues Sufi translations.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5 – For serious students of Tasawwuf)
Since "Madarijus Salikin" (by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah) is a dense book on spirituality and stations of the soul ( maqamat ), this review focuses on the of the specific PDF excerpt (page 39 onwards). Review Draft: Terjemah Madarijus Salikin (PDF) – Halaman 39–UD Title: Deep but Dense: A Look at the Indonesian Translation of Madarijus Salikin (pp. 39–UD)
Print pages 39-50 first. If you can digest the flow of the argument without falling asleep, keep the PDF. If not, look for a summarized version.
