The Development of the Naqshbandiyah Order Led by Prof. Dr. H. Sayyidi Sheikh Kadirun Yahya in Malaysia

Abstract

The study of tarekat is one of the branches of Islamic study which has abstract, in-depth and wise philosophies. On the other hand, tarekat is also a spiritual practice that involves various elements in forming a complete person with the aim of getting closer to Allah SWT. Therefore, the tarekat uses various principles and propositions as an effort to achieve self-discipline which involves theoretical and practical situations that need to be implemented to fulfill the tarekat. The correct congregation must stand on the Shari'a outlined by Allah SWT, namely Islamic Shari'a. One of the Tarekat which currently has many followers in Malaysia is the Naqsyabandiyah al Khalidiyah Tarekat which was founded by Prof. Dr. H. Kadirun Yahya, taking place at Surau Muhammadil Amin – Rawang. This research aims to find out the history of the development of Sufism, especially the Naqsyabandiyah Khalidiyah Tarekat in Malaysia. The method used in this research is a combination of a qualitative approach and a quantitative approach. It is hoped that the results of this study will strengthen the congregation's belief that the Naqsyabandiyah Khalidiyah Order is truly in accordance with the Qur'an, Hadith and the opinions of scholars.
