This research aims to explore the noble values of humanism contained in Said Ramadhan al-Buthi’s syarah al-Hikam. One important problem to explore in relation to the noble values of humanism in this book is the problem of inequality. Therefore, the research questions in this study can be formulated as follows: (1) how are the noble values of humanism interpreted in syarah al-Hikam based on a Systemic Functional Translation Studies (SFTS) approach, and (2) what strategies are designed to reduce tensions of inequality based on the Sufi texts. The data in this study are the source text (L1) (Arabic) and the target text (L2) (Indonesian and English) in Said Ramadhan al-Buthi’s monumental book syarah al-Hikam. The general design of the research is a descriptive qualitative study. The data analysis uses Spradley's model, including: (1) a domain analysis to map the information structure in syarah al-Hikam, (2) a taxonomic analysis to elaborate the noble human values in the book, (3) a componential analysis to unify the information structure and human values found in the Sufi texts, and (4) an analysis of cultural themes, which concludes that the text of al-Hikam not only examines spiritual issues but also strives comprehensively to show the implementation of human values in everyday life. The contribution of this research is an attempt to reduce tensions of inequality based on Sufi texts and to interpret the Arabic text based on a linguistic approach.
