Abstract

This study examines the function of tarekat in educating the soul by positioning tarekat as a method of spiritual formation within Islamic education. The purpose of the study is to explain the function of soul education carried out by tarekat through the perspectives of Islamic education, exact metaphysics, and Islamic Sufism. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a library research design. The data were analyzed through source selection, thematic classification, analytical reading, and the construction of conceptual synthesis. The findings show that tarekat functions to organize dhikr, mujahadah, muhasabah, muraqabah, adab, guidance by a mursyid, and social responsibility into a holistic process of soul education. From the perspective of Islamic education, tarekat operates as the habituation of values and the formation of moral character. From the perspective of exact metaphysics, tarekat is understood as an ordered and gradual path that connects the outward and inward dimensions of the human being. From the perspective of Islamic Sufism, tarekat becomes a means of tazkiyat al-nafs toward a soul that is tranquil, aware, and well-mannered. This study affirms that tarekat remains relevant to contemporary Islamic education as long as it is grounded in sharia, adab, chains of scholarly transmission, and moral formation.

Abstract

Modern society faces multidimensional complexities, ranging from spiritual crises and technological disruption to social inequality. Muslims, with their theological and intellectual capital, are often perceived as suboptimal in responding to these challenges contextually and applicatively. This article aims to analyze the fundamental problems faced by Muslims in formulating answers to the problems of modern society and to explore the strategic role of Islamic higher education institutions, specifically the Muhammadiyah University of Malaysia (UMAM), in bridging this gap. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method at UMAM. Data was collected through literature study, observation, and structured interviews with academics and policymakers at UMAM. The findings indicate that the main problems lie in: (1) the dichotomy between naqli and aqli sciences, (2) a static approach to religious texts, and (3) a lack of integrative and innovative solution models. UMAM strives to address these issues through three main strategies: integration of knowledge in the curriculum, problem-based research, and empowering community engagement. This article concludes that UMAM has the potential to become a model social laboratory of Islam that combines the Muhammadiyah renewal ethos with the Malaysian socio-cultural context to produce relevant, humanist, and rahmatan lil 'alamin solutions.
