The 21st-century era of globalization has brought a significant impact on the decline of moral and spiritual values, manifested through hedonistic lifestyles, materialism, and individualism. This study aims to identify the extent to which the moral dimension in Sufism plays a role as an effective solution in overcoming the moral crisis faced by modern humans. The method used is qualitative, employing a library research approach that examines various literature, reference books, and relevant previous research findings. The results show that Sufism, through the concept of tazkiyatun nafs (purification of the soul) and the stages of takhalli (cleansing oneself of blameworthy traits) and tahalli (adorning oneself with praiseworthy traits), is able to provide a solid spiritual foundation for individuals. Sufi moral values such as honesty (shiddiq), patience (i), divine love (mahabbah), humility (tawadhu'), and justice ('adl) play an important role in improving individual behavior and building social solidarity amid the challenges of globalization. This study concludes that integrating Sufi values into character education, spiritual communities, and daily life can serve as a holistic solution for creating a more civilized, harmonious, and moral society.
