Abstract

This article aims to provide an overview of the steps that a person needs to go through in reaching perfection to become an insanul kamil and to provide an overview of the concept of mahabbah and its correlation in the world of Sufism. This research is in the form of library research or what is called a literature study which is carried out by examining various literature both from the latest journals, text books, scientific articles, the results of other people's research, information extracted from the Qur'an and hadith as well as other sources. related to Sufism Irfani. The results of this study: Irfani exists and is developed by the Sufi community. Although it is still one of the discussions within the scope of philosophy, Irfani has a slight difference from philosophy. The difference lies in the basis of the second argument, in which philosophy upholds its arguments from axioms, while Irfan bases his argument on intuition. The process in Irfani Sufism is not easy and goes through maqamat. One of the Sufi figures who lives by Irfani's theory is Robi'ah 'Adawiyah with his teachings in the form of the mahabbah concept. The concept of mahabbah is a concept in which a servant no longer has love for fellow creatures, but is solely given to the creator, namely Allah SWT and sel?essly, without wanting rewards or heaven, and without being based on fear of the torments of hell.
