Abstract

General Background: Mosques serve not only as places of worship but also hold potential as educational hubs, particularly in areas with high religious learning needs. Specific Background: Kampung Muallaf, home to many new converts, reflects a critical need for structured Islamic education. Knowledge Gap: Despite the significance of mosques in religious education, limited studies explore their pedagogical roles in muallaf communities. Aims: This study aims to investigate the mosque’s role as a center for Islamic education, identify existing educational activities, and assess the supporting and inhibiting factors in Kampung Muallaf. Results: Findings reveal that the mosque functions as a hub for Qur’anic learning, da’wah, religious training, and social cohesion. Key educational activities include MDTA programs, wiridan, recitations, and convert coaching. Support is driven by active da’wah teams, while lack of parental encouragement hinders youth participation. Novelty: The study highlights a holistic educational model tailored for converts, integrating worship, learning, and community support. Implications: These insights inform mosque-based educational strategies and policymaking to better serve marginalized religious communities. Highlights: Highlights the mosque’s role beyond worship—as an Islamic education hub. Identifies structured programs for converts and local community engagement. Reveals key support and barriers in sustaining religious learning activities. Keywords: Mosque Education, Kampung Muallaf, Islamic Learning, Religious Practice, Community Da’wah

Abstract

General Background: Faith education is fundamental in shaping the character and personality of Muslims, serving as a moral foundation and guide in daily life. Specific Background: The Naqsyabandiyah Tarekat, with its long-standing Sufi tradition, emphasizes dhikr (remembrance of Allah) as a core spiritual discipline to deepen faith. At Persulukan Thariqus Sa’adah in Aek Hitetoras Village, structured oral and silent dhikr, guided by mursyid, is central to religious practice. Knowledge Gap: While previous studies explore the moral contributions of Sufi orders, limited research examines how Naqsyabandiyah dhikr methods directly strengthen aqeedah (Islamic creed). Aims: This study investigates the methods, applications, and outcomes of Naqsyabandiyah dhikr in enhancing congregants’ faith. Results: Using a qualitative field approach, findings reveal that consistent dhikr, coupled with sharia adherence, muraqabah (spiritual vigilance), and moral guidance, cultivates tauhid, purifies the soul, and fosters spiritual stability. Congregants report increased closeness to Allah and stronger commitment to Islamic principles. Novelty: The study highlights the integration of Imam al-Ghazali’s Sufi principles with Naqsyabandiyah practices, showing their combined impact on faith formation. Implications: These findings suggest that structured dhikr, rooted in classical Sufi teachings, remains a relevant and effective model for contemporary Islamic faith education and spiritual character building. Highlights: Strengthening aqeedah through structured dhikr. Integration of sharia and spiritual discipline. Relevance of classical Sufi teachings today. Keywords: Faith Education, Naqsyabandiyah Tarekat, Dhikr Practice, Spiritual Development, Imam al-Ghazali
