5 FOUNDERS OF TARIQAH QADIRIYAH NAQSHBANDIYAH
Sheikh Ahmad Khatib Sambas is a Sufi scholar who founded the Tariqah Qadiriyah Naqsyabandiyah association. This tariqah association is the unification and development of the methods of the two great Sufi tariqats, namely the Qadiriyah and the Naqsyabandiyah.
The teaching of Sheikh Ahmad Khatib Sambas is that the Tariqah Qadiriyah Naqsabandiyah has teachings that are believed to be true, especially in matters of Sufism. Some of the teachings which are the views of the followers of this tarekat are related to the problem of the tarekat or methods to get closer to Allah SWT. This method is believed to be the most effective and efficient. Because the teachings in this tarekat are all based on the Qur'an, al-Hadith, and the words of the wise scholars from the shalihin Salafus circle.
Tariqat Qadiriyyah and Naqshbandiyyah have an important role in the life of Indonesian Muslims. And what is very important is to help shape the character of the Indonesian people. Not because Sheikh Ahmad Khatib Sambas as the founder was a local (Indonesian) but the followers of these two Tariqats participated in the persistent struggle against Dutch imperialism and continued to struggle through socio-religious movements and educational institutions after independence.
Surveys on the history of Tariqat Qadiriyyah and Naqshbandiyyah have a close relationship with the development of Indonesian society. This Tariqat is one of the uniqueness of the Indonesian Muslim community, not for the reasons described above, but the practices of this Tariqat adorn the beliefs and culture of the Indonesian people.
The Qadiriyyah Naqsbandiyyah Order is substantially the actualization of all Islamic teachings (Islam Kaffah) in all aspects of life. The goal of Tariqat Qadiriyyah and Naqshbandiyyah is the goal of Islam itself. According to its main source, the Qur'an, Islam as a religion was revealed to lead mankind to the straight path, the path of salvation that leads to prosperity in this world and happiness in the hereafter (hasanah fi al-dunya and hasanah fil al-akhirat).
Tariqat Qadiriyyah and Naqshbandiyyah bring people to God, and horizontally provide signs and principles of how to live together in society. Tanbih contains moral teachings, concerning various lives. The view of the Qadiriyyah Naqsbandiyyah Order regarding the State, for example, can be seen in Tanbih's description as follows:
"We are also the place where people ask about Tariqah Qadiriyyah wa Naqsbandiyyah, deliver sincerely, wills to all students; Be careful in all things, do not do things that are against the rules of Religion and the State. Insapilah, O all students, do not be adrift by the enticement of lust, influenced by the temptations of Satan, beware of the way of deviation from the orders of Religion and the State, so that we can examine ourselves if attracted by the whispers of the Devil who always sneaks in our hearts ".
The philosophical views of Tariqat Qadiriyyah and Naqshbandiyyah regarding social relations, both with fellow Muslims and with non-Muslims, can be seen in the following section on Tanbih's description:
We must respect those who are higher than us, both physically and mentally, that is how we should live in harmony with mutual respect.
To others who are equal to us in everything, do not let disputes occur, on the contrary, we must be humble and work together in carrying out the orders of Religion and the State, lest there be disputes and disputes, in case we are exposed to His word "Adzabun Alim" which means sorrow. sorrow forever from this world to the hereafter.
Towards those who are below us, do not insult them or act indecently arrogant, instead must be compassionate with awareness, so that they feel happy and happy in their hearts must be guided and guided by gentle advice that will give conviction in treading the path virtue.
To the poor and needy, we must be compassionate, friendly and kind, be generous, reflect that we are aware. Try to feel ourselves personally, how painful it is to be in a state of deprivation.
This is the true attitude of humans who are full of awareness even towards strangers because they are still descendants of the Prophet Adam. Remembering verse 70 of the letter Isra which means:
"We greatly honor the descendants of the Prophet Adam and We spread everything that is on land and in the sea, also We prioritize them over other creatures."
The conclusion of this verse is that we should all respect each other, do not let disappointment arise, considering the letter Al-Maidah which means "You should help each other in carrying out virtue and sincere piety towards Religion and the State, on the contrary, do not help each other in sinning and being hostile towards each other. against the orders of Religion and the State".
The essence of tanbih above explains to us how the ideal model of interaction between us and people who are higher than us, with others, in the sense of being equal in everything, with people below us and with the poor. Tanbih explained that inner peace will be realized in the midst of society when each individual adheres to social ethics: "It is not from my group that people do not love those below them, and do not respect those above them".
More than that, Tanbih also contains teachings on how we should behave in social life with foreigners, both those who share our religion and those who do not.
