Abstract

Qadiriyyyah Naqsyabandiyyah is a popular tariqa in Indonesia. The tariqa became a sufistic communication medium between humans and God. This article aims to identify the sufistic transcendental communication paradigm in religious activity. Transcendental communication is communication between humans and gods with a Sufistic approach. From a sufism perspective, the tariqa is a massive activity in Indonesian Islam. Sufism desires the cleanliness of the human heart (qalb) and mind (aql) in serving Allah. Human servitude to Allah is a feature of sufistic communication that prioritizes total awareness and obedience. Sufistic and transcendental communication have the same dimension and concept: ubudiyah (worship). One form of the massive sufism movement in the world is the Qadiriyyah Naqsyabandiyyah. This tariqa becomes a testament for humans to communicate with Allah through zikr. This type of research is qualitative. Qualitative research explains descriptively and comprehensively the paradigm of sufistic communication in the Qadiriyah Naqsyabandiyya tariqa. Data is obtained through text documentation that presents papers in scientific journals that raise the theme of sufistic communication, sufism, and tariqa. Data analysis of this study used descriptive analysis. The results of this study show that the tariqa prioritizes vertical communication with Allah. Aql and qalb became the basis of sufistic communication. Thus, zikr and prayer practiced in the tariqa (with murshid’s guidance) bring people closer to Allah.
