Abstract

Lay people understand that Sufi or Sufism is a path to God that is achieved by approaching the life of the world (zuhud). Tarekat as a Sufi organization is always expressed in spiritual activities, which are considered the beginning of worldly life. Sufism has been known as an esoteric dimension in Islam. This identification often causes Sufism to be considered close to things that are mystical and ascetic. A true Sufi, according to progressive Sufism, is a Sufi who works, earns a living. Maybe he has wealth and a lot, but his wealth is used proportionally, not for himself and his family, but empowering fellow humans who are only empowered, the weak and those in need. As did the Tarekat al�Idrisiyyah. This research aims to ward off the notion of Sufism which has been considered anti-social and has to live in poverty.
