The Role of Mursyids in Teaching Islam The Qadiriyah wan Naqsabandiyah Order: Positive Psychology Positive Psychology

Abstract

This article is the result of the exploration and analysis of articles published in the Scopus journal with the theme of Islamic moderation. The researcher's step in exploration: first search for articles with the keyword moderation. Islam generated 36 articles from 2012–2022. The two researchers did the download of the articles, which resulted in twenty-four articles. The three researchers conducted an article that had a theme of sufi behavior. This step was found in a journal with the theme The Sufi Order against Religious Radicalism in Indonesia. The article was published in the journal HTS Theology Studies in 2021. The article is the result of research by the Qadiriyah wan Naqsabandiyah order at three Suryalaya Islamic Boarding Schools: Futuhiyah Mranggen and Darul Ulum Jombang. The results of the study showed that first a Mursyid or tarekat counselor has an important role in the success of tarekat members in order to draw closer to God. The two Mursyids, counselors, and teachers of the order also play an important role in guiding and advising their members to carry out the teachings of the order. The three teachings of the Qadiriyah wan Naqsabandiyah order on dhikr and love are able to foster a moderate attitude towards religion. The five mergers of the names of the two orders of Qadiriyah and Naqsabandiyah also gave birth to moderate attitudes, namely tasamuh (tolerance), tawazun (balanced), tawasut (middle), and ta’adul (doing justice). The six men who took the Sufi path by participating in the Qadiriyah wan Naqsabandiyah order had positive psychological behaviors. Such behavior has the goal of achieving happiness and life satisfaction in this world and the hereafter.
