Abstract

Tarekat tasawuf has been established in Negeri Sembilan since 1900 and began to strengthen its existence in spiritual activities such as the implementation of zikr tarekat tasawuf activities among the local community. This article will highlight the impact of implementing the zikr activities tarekat tasawuf, which is implemented periodically on the spiritual strengthening of the community in Negeri Sembilan. A qualitative approach is used involving library studies, review of relevant documents, and interviews with the Registrar of Tarekat, Tasawuf Division of the Negeri Sembilan Mufti Department, and the Syeikh of the tarekat involved. Basically, there are 13 Sufi practice centers around Negeri Sembilan that conduct regular zikr activities that impact the community. The existence of tarekat practice centers in Negeri Sembilan has been plotted to see the distribution and centralization of tarekat centers. In addition, the form of zikr practiced in the zikr ceremony is also explained through a simple framework built. The results also showed that the Seremban district is the highest area with a tarekat practice center. Indirectly, the zikr activities, tarekat tasawuf, have provided space for the local community to engage in more systematic spiritual activities. The efforts implemented by the Sufi tarekat practice center in Negeri Sembilan are expected to be used as an example by other states in Malaysia so that the community is more interested in the Sufi tarekat zikr ceremony.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of modern technology, particularly in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0), presents Muslims with a range of complex challenges, including ethical dilemmas and questions regarding the social impact of innovations such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology and digital media. These challenges are significant as they impact daily life and raise profound concerns about the preservation of religious values, identity and social order. While technological progress offers undeniable benefits, it also generates indirect risks that may be overlooked if assessed solely from a utilitarian or secular perspective. Against this backdrop, Islamic law, guided by the higher objectives of maqāṣid al-sharī`ah provides a principled and comprehensive framework for evaluating technological innovation, ensuring that developments remain aligned with core Islamic moral and ethical standards and ultimately promote human well-being in a holistic sense. Central to this approach are the concepts of al-thawābit (the immutable) and al-mutaghayyirāt (the changeable) which serve as critical tools for adapting Islamic legal rulings to new technological realities. This article adopts a library research and content analysis methodology to examine existing literature and provide a comprehensive understanding of Shariah’s role, specifically through the lens of maqāṣid al-sharī`ah in regulating technological advancements. The study concludes that although technology constitutes part of al-mutaghayyirāt and continues to evolve, the immutable principles of maqāṣid al-sharī`ah serve as an essential safeguard to ensure that technological change continues to advance the holistic well-being of humanity. In sum, the maqāṣid al-sharī`ah framework provides the critical criteria for balancing benefits and harms, ensuring that technological advancement ultimately serves the comprehensive well-being and public interest (maṣlaḥah) of humanity.
