Abstract

This study aims to demonstrate that the Mandailing Tribe, who are predominantly Muslim in North Sumatra, utilize TNKJ as a means to foster spiritual brotherhood while away from home. The research method used is qualitative and data was obtained through direct observation at TNKJ JABABODETABEK. Furthermore, the analysis uses data reduction techniques, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. This study found that global developments have changed the new face of Sufism which is seen as a path to God, transforming spiritual tribalism. The order which has been seen as a path for Sufis to get closer to God, has undergone a transformation of orientation towards ethnicity in strengthening brotherhood while away from home. The focus of this research is Jakarta, Bandung, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi (JABABODETABEK). These places seem to represent the formation of the spiritual brotherhood of the Mandaling tribe while away from home to get closer to God. This spiritual phenomenon with an ethnic background certainly needs to be studied in depth because it raises the question of why TNKJ has become a link for the Mandailing tribe while away from home.
