<![CDATA[This article explains Samman as a tarekat established by Syekh Abdul Karim Al-Samman. First, as a tarekat, Samman functions as a way to reach closeness (taqarrub) to Allah SWT through strict procedures and requirement. The analysis of this article reveals that Samman is considered as a religious tradition maintained by the society in spite of dynamics and even decrease of its present followers. Second, as a tradition, Samman is considered as social wealth the existence of which is always protected and conserved.

It this is not realized, the tradition will vanish.]]>
