Abstract

Humans are influenced by contemporary materialism and individualism, which drive them to demonstrate their own power. Consequently, humility in worship and their dependence on Allah declines. Since tadharru' emphasizes humility and total submission to Allah, it becomes a pressing spiritual teaching in this context, especially when facing trials and difficulties in life. Within the framework of tazkiyatun nafsi, the word tadharru’ is often associated with the words tawadhu’, khusyu’, and khudu’, but it is often understood generally and equated with these concepts. However, tadharru’ has a specific emphasis. Therefore, for the concept of tadharru to be correctly understood and proportionately placed in Islamic spirituality, a deeper study is required. This research is a qualitative library research. The results of the discussion show that the word "tadharru" is mentioned six times in the Qur'an. Sayyid Qutb divides his understanding of tadharru' into two main aspects. The first is as a manner and attitude for praying to Allah pleasingly, which is shown in humility, surrender, and prayers offered gently due to the awareness of His closeness. The second aspect is as a spiritual way to draw closer to Allah, especially when facing calamities. In dealing with the challenges faced by Muslims today, Sayyid Qutb's idea of tadharru can be seen as a remedy for pride and arrogance amidst a culture of showing off; as an ethical basis for responding to calamities with patience and surrender without blaming fate; and as an ethical foundation for responding to disasters with patience and surrender without blaming fate. and as a foundation for mental and spiritual resilience so that humans do not fall into despair when facing the pressures of life.
