Prinsip dan Ajaran Tasawuf ‘Abd Allâh al-Haddâd

<p>‘Abd Allâh al-Haddâd is a prominent figure who has great influence in many parts of the world, including Indonesia. His mystical teachings (<em>tasawwuf</em>), which are sunni, <em>akhlâqî</em> and ‘<em>amalî</em>, are oriented to guide morality of the society and, therefore, are more acceptable. A variety of his work, both in the form of books, <em>wird</em>, kasidah, and his <em>Râtib</em> are widely spread and practiced by many people, especially his followers. Al-Haddâd’s mystical orientation also puts emphasis on socio-moral movement. Among his mystical teachings are science, charity, <em>khawf</em>, <em>wara</em><em>‘</em>, and sincerity which are based on al-Qur’ân, the Sunnah of the Prophet, and the example of the pious Salaf. Here, al-Haddâd was able to make renewal in the field of Sufism by reforming the segment and the orientation of the tarekat. If in the past tarekat was only familiar to elites, it then has been converged by al-Haddâd into two different segments, i.e. the tarekat of elite and and the tarekat of public, with the same orientation that is approaching to God. Through this reorientation, al-Haddâd had attempted to present Sufism as a social movement that raise morale both individuals and social groups.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Keywords</strong><strong>:</strong> <em>Râtib</em>, tasawwuf, the tarekat of elite, the tarekat of public.</p>
